[{"type":"text","content":"Issued Patent Grants Protection for an Implantable Scaffold using Brown Adipose Derived Stem Cells and Methods of Use MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC: BRTX), a life sciences company focused on stem cell-based therapies, today announced that the Australian Patent Office has issued the Company a patent related to its metabolic ThermoStem® Program. Claims granted under the new patent cover an implantable scaffold and brown adipocytes from human brown adipose (fat)-derived stem cells and methods of use. Brown adipocytes are a type of fat tissue found in humans that regulate metabolic activity. Initial preclinical research indicates that increased amounts of brown fat in animals may be responsible for additional caloric burning as well as reduced glucose and lipid levels. Researchers have found that people with higher levels of brown fat may have a reduced risk for obesity and diabetes. “Claims granted under this patent are significant as they relate to implantable scaffolds and methods of use in patients suffering from metabolic disorders,” said Lance Alstodt, the Company’s CEO. “As we continue to develop our ThermoStem® program, it is important that we develop methods of delivery, this patent is an important step towards that.” About BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (www.biorestorative.com) develops therapeutic products using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. Our two core programs, as described below, relate to the treatment of disc/spine disease and metabolic disorders: • Disc/Spine Program (brtxDISC™): Our lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person’s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient’s bone marrow. We intend that the product will be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful lumbosacral disc disorders or as a complementary therapeutic to a surgical procedure. The BRTX-100 production process utilizes proprietary technology and involves collecting a patient’s bone marrow, isolating and culturing stem cells from the bone marrow and cryopreserving the cells. In an outpatient procedure, BRTX-100 is to be injected by a physician into the patient’s damaged disc. The treatment is intended for patients whose pain has not been al...
