The Canadian biopharmaceutical company Transition Therapeutics Inc said on Thursday (24 June) that the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk A/S had exercised its option to license Transition Therapeutic's Islet
Neogenesis Therapy technology.
Though terms of the deal were not disclosed, the move is a multiyear agreement in which
NeoGenesis will receive funding and payments from Amgen for achieving research milestones.
TSX VENTURE:TTH) ("Transition"), Toronto, Canada, has received approval to begin a dose escalating Phase I human trial in the United Kingdom of its Islet

However, the test will be how well Caliper's platform competes against the chemical genomics platforms of other companies, such as
NeoGenesis.
Although the adults of simple vertebrates (fish, amphibians and reptiles) have the ability to regenerate entire nephrons by a process called nephron
neogenesis , this capacity is absent in birds and mammals.
2000; Herbach et al, 2005) se ha podido demostrar que la expansion temprana de los IL esta asociada con una alta tasa de replicacion celular dentro de los islotes ya existentes y no por la
neogenesis a partir de precursores o celulas madre (Dor et al.
Other drugs under evaluation are PKC (Protein Kinase C) inhibitors like Ruboxistaurin mesylate, NMDA receptor antagonists like Indantadol, newer antiepileptics like lacosamide, acetyl L-carnitine, Olesoxime a cholesterol like compound with neuroprotective, neuroregenerative and analgesic action, various antioxidants, lipid lowering therapy, nerve growth factors like Coleneuramide, Iroxanadine (p38 kinase activator), C-peptide and Islet
neogenesis associated protein.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a main mediator in vessels
neogenesis, Permeability factor is another term used for VEGF.
It has been found that the ligaments and capsule will stretch under gradual tension to improve joint contractures, while nerves, vessels, and muscle have been shown to stretch by local
neogenesis.
In transgenic mice that overexpress a constitutively active variant of AKT/PKB in [beta]-cells, an increase in proliferation,
neogenesis, cell size, and synthesis-secretion of insulin, provide additional evidence of the involvement of this protein in the physiology of the pancreatic islets (7).
