NellOne Therapeutics


NellOne is an early stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering advances in regenerative medicine. Its mission is to relieve suffering and restore lives by returning damaged soft and hard tissue to its pre-injury state, utilizing the NELL1 protein to promote tissue regeneration, control inflammation, and improve patient outcomes. The company is dedicated to harnessing the power of the NELL1 / NV1 protein to improve outcomes for patients worldwide suffering from significant soft tissue damage due to traumatic injuries or diseases. NellOne is also actively involved in research supported by the National Science Foundation to evaluate the therapeutic potential of NV1, a proprietary variant of NELL1, for treating lung tissue damage such as that caused by severe viral infections like COVID-19 and flu.
