Adept Neuro Reaches Key Milestone in the Development of Novel Intracerebral Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) Electrodes
— Second investment tranche provided by DIXI medical
— Preparation of regulatory certifications and market launch
Adept Neuro SA (Lausanne, Switzerland), a joint venture of DIXI Medical (Le Locle, Switzerland, and Besançon, France) and Aleva Neurotherapeutics SA (Lausanne, Switzerland) developing a new generation of intracerebral stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes facilitating localization and thermocoagulation of the epileptogenic zones, today announced that it has reached a significant milestone in the development of MEMS-enabled smart SEEGs electrodes. MEMS are micro-electro-mechanical systems allowing for miniaturization and great flexibility of design.

Cardior Pharmaceuticals: Pioneering Study Confirms Pivotal Role of Antisense microRNA Approach in the Treatment of Pathologic Hypertrophy of the Heart
— First-ever data on therapeutic miR-132 inhibition in a large animal model of nonischemic heart failure with cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis
— Peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology
Cardior Pharmaceuticals GmbH, a clinical-stage biotech company focused on the development of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) based therapeutics for patients with cardiovascular diseases, announced today that results from a recent peer-reviewed study underlining the Company´s pioneering approach in the treatment of cardiac diseases were published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The data confirm that the inhibition of the naturally occurring miR-132 microRNA via an antisense microRNA can prevent pathological cardiac remodeling in hypertrophic heart disease.
