Project title: GENE THERAPY FOR VASCULAR DISEASES
Company name : M.G.V. SYSTEMS LTD.
TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD
Gene Therapy
KEY WORDS
Gene Therapy, Cell Therapy,
Vascular Grafts, Angiogenesis
PROJECT SUMMARY
The company is developing therapeutic protocols that are based on
unique technologies of gene transfer of specific genes to
vascular cells.
In the first product the modified cells are used as an inner
lining of small caliber vascular grafts that will prevent graft
failure due to blood clotting and tissue in growth.
In the second product the modified cells are used as "therapeutic
bullets" that will promote the production of new blood vessels
that will bypass occluded arteries.
This novel therapeutic protocol will provide effective
alternatives to patients who cannot be cured today by
conventional surgery using artificial grafts and may also offer
additional valuable treatment for most patients with arterial
occlusive disorders.
