Organized around the potential of regenerative medicine, the first spinoff of form the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, ME., Novo Biosciences is primarily focused in its early work on investigating the regenerative abilities of Zebrafish - a unique species able to regrow fins, tail and even heart muscle. Tissue damage in humans factors to major lost economic productivity, diminished quality of life, and premature death. Development of a technology that could enhance tissue repair would be invaluable. Early investigation by Novo Bioscience has identified a compound common both to the zebra fish and to humans. The firm has further identified a small molecule that apeears significantly to amplify and hasten regeneration of complex limb tissues and heart muscle.
