Ulcerative Colitis
Innovations in IBD: Regentys and ECM
What if our own bodies could heal our UC? With the help of ExtraCellular Matrix Hydrogel (ECM), a product that creates a favorable environment for the body to grow new tissue in place of diseased or damaged tissue, Marc Ramer and Regentys are hoping to make it happen. When Ramer’s 13-year-old son became refractory to medications and then lost his colon to the ravaging effects of UC, Ramer told himself there had to be a better way. He collaborated with colleagues in the industry, and Regentys was born, a company whose mission is to cure UC and then possibly Crohn’s as well.
Can you imagine not having to take pharmaceuticals to manage your UC and instead only needing a non-invasive outpatient procedure to teach your colon to cure itself? Hope springs eternal.
