About Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 (BMP-7)
BMPs are a group of growth factors also known as cytokines and as metabologens. Originally discovered by their ability to induce the formation of bone and cartilage, BMPs are now considered to constitute a group of pivotal morphogenetic signals, orchestrating tissue architecture throughout the body. For example, previous studies have demonstrated that BMP-7 can facilitate effective joint cartilage formation, inhibit and reverse organ fibrosis in the kidney, heart, and lung due to injury or disease, and diabetic diseases related to glucose metabolism.

About Ember Therapeutics, Inc.
Ember Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company whose primary focus is on utilizing Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 to catalyze cartilage regeneration for disease modification of Osteoarthritis (OA) and the inhibition and reversal of organ fibrosis in diseases such as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Alport Syndrome. In particular, Ember has acquired over 450 patents covering BMP-7 and its related family of BMPs, variants, novel formulations, delivery technologies, associated clinical data, and cGMP manufactured material from Stryker Corporation.
