MICROCHANNEL TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION (OTCBB: MCTC)

"Up 75.00% on Wednesday"

 

Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/MCTC.php

 

MicroChannel is developing technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration, as well as potentially other innovative medical and health care technologies. The research being performed by MicroChannel involves using a patented combination of physical, chemical and biological cues at the “cellular” level to facilitate peripheral nerve regeneration. This technology was co-invented by Dr. Surya Mallapragada, named one of the world’s top 100 young innovators by Technology Review, a technology magazine published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MicroChannel’s research involves etching linear micro sized grooves onto a biodegradable substrate into which preferred cues, such as Schwann cells, stem cells and laminin, are added. The combination of micropatterned substrates and cues resulted in accelerated nerve elongation rates, and excellent nerve alignment along the substrate grooves, in in vitro studies and restored nerve functionality in animal studies. Additional research and animal studies were published in a peer-reviewed research paper entitled “Synergistic Effects of Micropatterned Biodegradable Conduits and Schwann Cells on Sciatic Nerve Regeneration” in the Journal of Neural Engineering. In this study, a 1 cm segment of rats’ sciatic nerves, which deliver nerve messages to the hind legs, were removed. After the initial surgery, the paws (toes) curled up completely and the animals were unable to walk. The severed nerves were then surgically reconnected using micropatterned conduits pre-seeded with Schwann cells. Over time, as motor skills were regained, the animal’s paw uncurled and the toes spread in order to support their weight. Though initially unable to walk, the rats started to regain use of their legs after three weeks and were able to function normally after six weeks.
