Pompano Beach, FL, April 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioStem Technologies, Inc. (OTC PINK: BSEM) ("BioStem" or the "Company") a leading life sciences company specializing in perinatal tissue-based allografts for use in regenerative therapies, today announced a corporate update on the Company’s direction.
The Company announced that it embarked on a new initiative to define its two distinct business pillars, BioStem Technologies and BioStem Life Sciences. The new strategic focus of BioStem Technologies is to identify, develop and market the life changing regenerative biologics, formally spearheaded by BioStem Life Sciences. This includes an all new biologic therapeutic pipeline focused on Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and Osteoarthritis (OA). BioStem Technologies will also assume the sales and distribution of the RHEO™, VENDAJE™, VENDAJE™ AC, and VENDAJE™ OPTIC brands.
BioStem Technologies also announced the addition of four new biologic therapeutics to its pipeline. Three of the new biologics are aimed at potentially treating Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), one of the leading life-threatening conditions caused by COVID-191, and the fourth is targeted at the potential treatment of Osteoarthritis.
- BSEM-001 – Amniotic Fluid therapy being developed as a potential treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
- BSEM-002 – Umbilical Cord Tissue Native MSCs therapy being developed as a potential treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
- BSEM-003 – Amnion Derived MSCs therapy being developed as a potential treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
- BSEM-004 – Amniotic Fluid Matrix therapy being developed as a potential treatment for Osteoarthritis (OA)
BioStem Life Sciences will transition to a GMP level, Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO).
