Biotech Bounce Just Getting Started

HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2019 / Biotech may have had a hard 2018, but the sector is making up for lost time at the start of this year. This may be just getting started as many fund managers are underweight in the industry and may have to chase this run. One more under the radar biotech that tops our list due to their potential in two huge markets is BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (BRTX). Their BRTX-100 has shown positive results in both preclinical animal and human studies as a non-opioid chronic lower back pain treatment and their ''ThermoStem'' treatment targets the obesity. BioRestorative has an open IND (Investigational New Drug) and has agreed with the FDA on a Phase 2 trial protocol that is targeted to start Q1 of 2019 (this quarter). Since there could be news any day, it'd be wise to start your research immediately.

Today we are highlighting: BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (BRTX), Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (OTLK), CorMedix, Inc. (NYSE American: CRMD), Histogenics Corporation (NASDAQ: HSGX), and Amarin Corporation plc (AMRN).

The Global Chronic Low Back Pain Market is relied upon to achieve an estimation of US$ 9.19 billion by 2025, developing at a CAGR of 5.1% amid the forecast time frame of 2017-2025. BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (BRTX) (Market Cap: $9.241M, Share Price: $0.70), a life sciences company focused on stem cell-based therapies as we mentioned above, is working on their BRTX-100 solution.

The company is also developing a therapy to fight the obesity epidemic. Their ''ThermoStem'' uses brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells to generate brown adipose tissue (''BAT''). BAT is intended to mimic naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic homeostasis in humans.

BRTX just received a Notice of Allowance on the company's fourth patent for their metabolic ThermoStem program. The company's patents span US, Australia and Japan.

Initial preclinical research indicates that increased amounts of brown fat in the body may be responsible for additional caloric burning as well as reduced glucose and lipid levels. This is a very promising sign for the company.
