I’m not here for $.46 five years from now that’s my point …..I’m wanting to see a dollar within the next year at the minimum, It went from a penny to $.22 basically on just speculation, no real news So I don’t think a dollar Is out of the question if we have successful trials of Met Forman we should be at 20 or $.30 just off the news that we’re starting clinical trials

Excited to work with Curative Biotech on evaluating metformin eye drops as a potential treatment for retinal degenerative diseases. This technology showed promising results in preclinical studies performed using patient stem cell derived eye cells. Two publications on the way.

That’s amazing news! Metformin is a pleiotropic molecule and unsurprisingly there is evidence of its therapeutic potential in AMD patients, through retrospective trials. However knowing the mechanism would be exciting- perhaps through its role as a TGF-beta inhibitor!??

Rajarshi Pal, Ph.D. Thanks Raj! As your said, it’s a pleiotropic molecule. We see effects on lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, cell polarity, and EMT.

Kapil Bharti Wow, sounds very interesting! Earlier, we too had identified the role of metformin in type 1 and type 3 EMT using stem cell lines and validated the mechanisms in an animal model and patients respectively.
