Histogen Launches BioNuesis, the Only All-Human Stem Cell Cul...(agen type 4 and fibronectin which are re...)

Because current products utilize non-human sources, and can even contain mouse viruses, stem cell therapies developed using these animal products are not likely to be approved by the FDA. The technology behind the BioNuesis research kit, soluble natural human ECM, offers a solution which will eventually facilitate translation of stem cell cures to the public.

The launch of BioNuesis marks the entrance of Histogen into the marketplace as a number of products based on Histogen's proprietary technology continue down the pipeline.

"Histogen is uniquely capable of utilizing every aspect of the liquid and solid created by the Company's proprietary technology process, and developing high-value, all-human products at a commercial scale," said Dr. Gail Naughton, CEO of Histogen. "We are excited to bring our first product to the stem cell research market, and look forward to launching products in the cosmeceutical and medical fields in the near future."

About Histogen
Histogen, launched in 2007, seeks to redefine regenerative medicine by developing a series of high value products without the use of embryonic stem cells or animal products. Through Histogen's proprietary bioreactors that mimic the embryonic environment, newborn fibroblasts are encouraged to naturally produce the vital proteins and growth factors from which the company has developed its rich product portfolio. Histogen has two product families - ExceltrixTM, Histogen's human Extracellular Matrix (ECM) and ReGenicaTM, Histogen's proprietary liquid formula.
