Technology Overview

This technology centers on a modified form of recombinant human Galectin-1 (rHsGal-1), specifically engineered with a 6X-His Tag for simplified purification and detection. It is designed to enhance membrane repair, reduce inflammation, and boost myogenic potential in models lacking dysferlin, a crucial protein in muscular dystrophy. The approach not only addresses the underlying issues of membrane instability in muscular diseases but also offers a novel pathway for treating autoimmune disorders by modulating the immune response.


Key Advantages

  • Enhanced mechanical stabilization during membrane repair
  • Increased myogenic potential, aiding muscle regeneration
  • Improved mobility in experimental models
  • Boosted secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-4

Problems Addressed

  • Insufficient membrane repair in muscular dystrophies
  • High levels of inflammation in autoimmune and muscular diseases
  • Limited treatment options for autoimmune disorders and muscular dystrophies

Market Applications

  • Treatment for various forms of muscular dystrophy and autoimmune diseases
  • Research tool in muscle regeneration and autoimmune disorder studies
  • Potential for development into therapeutic drugs by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies
