NellOne Therapeutics


Early-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a recombinant signaling-protein therapeutic platform to promote regeneration of damaged soft and hard tissues and to modulate inflammation. The company advances a proprietary engineered variant of a naturally occurring signaling protein for applications including inflammatory respiratory disease (ARDS/COVID-19), wound healing, cardiac and skeletal muscle repair, and other regenerative indications. Activities reported include preclinical efficacy studies, intellectual property development, licensing of a targeted drug-delivery approach, assay development partnerships, and efforts to scale production for commercial deployment.

Products

Recombinant NELL1 variant (NV1)

A proprietary, engineered recombinant variant of a naturally occurring signaling protein intended to modulate inflammation and promote tissue regeneration across multiple organs; reported to have improved efficacy and manufacturing characteristics versus the full-length protein.

NELL1

NELL1 plays a critical role in early bone formation, repair after injury, and degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis. It is a protein used as a potential regenerative therapy platform for bone and cartilage injury and related conditions.

NELL1 protein therapeutic

A therapeutic protein candidate developed by NellOne Therapeutics for treating tissue damage and inflammation resulting from respiratory viral infections including COVID-19, promoting tissue regeneration and immune system balance.

NV1

NV1 is a patented variant of neural epidermal growth factor-like (NELL1) protein being commercialized by NellOne for unmet inflammatory lung health market needs and licensing partnerships. It promotes new tissue formation and maturation by regulating the composition of the extracellular matrix, aiding in healing, balancing hyperinflammation, and promoting regeneration in post-injury tissue damage.

NELL-1

NELL-1 is a therapeutic agent critical for early vasculature and cardiac tissue formation, shown to help overcome cell death in cardiomyocytes under hypoxic conditions and during Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).
