Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, Inc. formely known as Biostage, Inc.

HRGN is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that uses a patient’s own stem cells that are grown on a hollow tubular scaffold to regenerate organ tissue damaged from cancer, trauma, birth defects or other diseases. The patient’s stem cells stimulate the body’s natural regeneration process, and the scaffold guides the newly-formed tissue in the shape of the patient’s damaged organ. Once the neo-tissue formation is complete, typically after about three months, the scaffold is removed. The HRGN Esophageal Implant regenerates the patient’s own esophagus. It is not a transplant of someone else’s organ. It is not a piece of patient’s bowel, stomach or other organs. It is not a transplant of an animal organ. It is not piece of plastic or mesh left inside your body.
