Last month, Carocell Bio announced that it had received approval from the UK’s Health Research Authority (HRA) to test its lead candidate proprietary peptide JEL3108 in human burns and reconstructive surgery tissue samples. This is to investigate Carocell Bio’s anti-inflammation approach to treating severe burns and preventing scar formation after surgery, based upon proprietary peptides that target the body’s intracellular inflammation cascade via MAPKi. MAPK is a pivotal enzyme in pathways critical to the body’s inflammatory response. Although previous systemic MAPKi have failed for safety reasons, they have demonstrated clinical efficacy. Carocell Bio’s peptide-based approach could potentially deliver safer and novel therapeutic options for patients.
Last year, the company announced it had received over USD $125,000 (almost GBP £100,000) in additional funding from Innovate UK to study the effect of the peptides in burns, and received USD $500,000 (GBP £400,000) seed investment from Deepbridge Capital.
