Rainbow BioSciences, LLC, the biotech subsidiary of Rainbow Coral Corp. (OTCBB: RBCC), announced today that its current joint venture target, Amarantus BioSciences, Inc. (OTCBB: AMBS), has cited several new peer-reviewed articles detailing its new protein therapy MANF to its website, bringing the total to 20.
A listing of the citations can be viewed on the company’s website at www.amarantus.com/investor-relations/scientific-publications.html.
The publications cited on Amarantus’ website are proof that there is significant interest in this new therapy within the global scientific community. There have been no major breakthroughs in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders in a very long time, and the demand for effective new treatments for these afflictions is very high. Both RBCC and Amarantus look forward to the possibility of helping to bring MANF to a market hungry for a potential cure.
MANF is a pre-clinical natural therapeutic protein being developed for the treatment of disorders associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress in cells, including Parkinson’s, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Alzheimer’s and more. The protein acts as a molecular chaperone that improves protein folding in cells’ endoplasmic reticulum via the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR).
Currently, Amarantus is focused on achieving the required protocols to gain regulatory approval to initiate human clinical studies of MANF.
RBCC announced earlier this week that the company signed a letter of intent to advance Amarantus’ Parkinson’s disease program. RBCC has initiated due diligence toward a potential definitive agreement with the company. If future clinical studies confirm MANF’s potential for treating Parkinson’s and other diseases, the product could prove extremely lucrative around the world.
