What is BrightMEMTM?
BrightMEMTM? is a durable and optically clear basement membrane with proliferative proteins. It forms a new foundation for the ocular surface, protecting the stroma from degradation and promoting regeneration of the corneal epithelium.
What is Brightstar Therapeutics?
Brightstar Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on providing innovative treatment options that improve the quality of life for people living with corneal and ocular surface diseases. Brightstar Therapeutics is the first company to offer a long-term solution for improving the ocular surface through its advanced corneal allograft, BrightMEMTM.
How does it work?
BrightMEMTM expresses proteins that stimulate limbal stem cell growth while resisting degradation. In preclinical studies, BrightMEMTM supported limbal stem cell expansion and maintained a population of stem cells in the basal corneal epithelium. Clinically, up to this point, there have been no instances where the corneal epithelium failed to regenerate when treated with BrightMEMTM. BrightMEMTM offers hope as a durable solution for patients with severe corneal.
