Featured Technologies

MAGP-2: an extracellular factor shown to have pro-angiogenic properties in vivo

Because of its extracellular nature, MAGP-2 can be easily detected and targeted, for instance by antibody-based technologies.

Cystatin C : an extracellular antagonist of the TGF-beta receptor proven to decrease tumorigenesis in vivo  

Cystatin C and derivatives form the basis for drug development aimed at treating cancers or fibrotic/proliferative diseases regulated by TGF-ß.
