Technology
Stem cell renewal and maintenance and tissue regeneration are critical for normal health and well-being. Wnt pathway interactions are crucial to maintenance of these processes. Ankasa is the first to produce human Wnt proteins in a manufacturing setting suitable for use in humans.
Our first clinical approach will be the demonstration of improved outcomes after spinal fusion surgeries. Our product has expansion opportunities to other bone reconstructive procedures including osseointegration of dental and orthopedic implants (knee and hip replacements), fracture repair, total joint arthroplasty revisions, and others.

Unmet medical need:
Autograft efficacy declines with age.
In patients >50, autograft becomes unreliable. This functional decline can be attributed to aging skeletal stem cells & insufficient growth factors.
ART352-L
addresses this deficit
Ankasa’s proprietary Wnt3 protein therapeutic activates skeletal stem cells and accelerates bone regeneration in animal models of spinal fusion, segmental defects and osseointegration.
