FibroBiologics Announces Updates for Novel Artificial Thymus Organoid Technology
29 Oktober 2024 - 2:15PM
FibroBiologics, Inc., (Nasdaq: FBLG) ("FibroBiologics"), a
clinical-stage biotechnology company with 160+ patents issued and
pending with a focus on the development of therapeutics and
potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblasts and
fibroblast-derived materials, announced promising new findings from
its artificial thymus organoid program. Recent results from the
artificial thymus organoid program showed that fibroblasts and
thymus-derived cell organoids can persist and function for over 50
days post-transplantation, with vascularization and the generation
of a diverse array of mature T cells in animal models.
The artificial thymus organoid has shown an
ability to support distinct vascularization, critical for sustained
functionality in vivo, while producing fully mature T cells
expressing T cell receptors (TCR). Fully mature T cells
differentiate into various types of cells, including CD4, CD8,
T-regulatory, and gamma delta T cells, and contribute to a
well-rounded immune response. The artificial thymus organoid also
produces T cells with diverse TCR-beta chains that enable the
recognition of a broad spectrum of antigens.
"This data further supports our unique approach
to using fibroblast-based organoids as potential therapeutics. Our
findings to date underscore the potential of our artificial thymus
organoid to restore and enhance immune function," said Hamid Khoja,
Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer. "The diverse TCR-beta repertoire,
in combination with extended organoid functionality and
vascularization, may provide an effective immune support platform
for patients facing immune dysregulation, such as those with
age-related immune decline or who have undergone chemotherapy. We
are excited by this prospect and will continue our work to advance
this technology toward clinical application."
"We believe these findings set the stage for
revolutionary advancements in immunotherapy," said Pete O’Heeron,
Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "By potentially offering a
fibroblast-based organoid approach capable of generating a wide
array of mature and functional T cells, we aim to provide patients
with a safer, more effective option than currently utilized immune
modulation and restoration therapies."

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This communication contains "forward-looking
statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information
concerning the potential and capabilities of fibroblasts and
artificial thymus organoids to persist and function
post-transplantation, with vascularization and the generation of a
diverse array of mature T cells, and to produce T cells with
diverse TCR-beta chains, the potential of artificial thymus
organoids to restore and enhance immune function and to provide for
revolutionary advancements in immunotherapy, and a safer, more
effective option than currently utilized immune modulation and
restoration therapies. These forward-looking statements are based
on FibroBiologics' management's current expectations, estimates,
projections and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions
concerning future events. When used in this communication, the

unpredictable relationship between R&D and preclinical results
and clinical study results; (c) risks related to FibroBiologics'
liquidity and its ability to maintain capital resources sufficient
to conduct its business, and (d) the ability of FibroBiologics to
successfully prosecute its patent applications. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are
