Matrix-binding Peptides for Targeted Delivery to Tissues

CSO, ProteoThera, Inc.
Therapeutic peptides and proteins are not effective when they are not able to reach their targeted tissues and remain there long enough for activity. In particular, therapies for diseases of the joint cannot penetrate into avascular tissues such as the articular cartilage and meniscus. ProteoThera solves this probem with a proprietary matrix-binding peptide that allows for optimal transport into tissues and extended residence in those tissues while maintaining activity of the therapeutic cargo.
