HOUSTON, Aug. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FibroBiologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBLG) (“FibroBiologics”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company with 160+ patents issued and pending with a focus on the development of therapeutics and potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblasts and fibroblast-derived materials, announced the filing of a patent application with the United States Patent Office covering the use of fibroblast cell-based technology in an adhesive bandage for wound healing.

“Our ongoing exploration of therapeutic applications using fibroblast cells continues to provide unique opportunities for our wound care platform,” commented Founder & CEO of FibroBiologics, Pete O’Heeron. “This patent, if issued, will allow us to pursue development of a room-temperature, shelf stable bandage that could be used in the post-surgical and retail setting.”

“We believe that leveraging the unique healing capabilities of fibroblasts has the potential to transform wound care as we know it,” added Chief Scientific Officer of FibroBiologics, Hamid Khoja, Ph.D. “Combining the healing properties of fibroblasts with a stable, long-term delivery system could allow us to make advanced treatments more accessible to a wider audience.”
