Amarantus BioScience Holdings, Inc. operates as a biopharmaceutical firm, concentrating on creating innovative diagnostic tools and therapeutic solutions. Its primary focus areas encompass neurological disorders, psychiatric conditions, eye-related ailments (ophthalmology), and regenerative medicine. The company's diagnostic pipeline includes the LymPro test, a blood-based diagnostic designed to detect Alzheimer's disease by analyzing lymphocyte proliferation, and MSPrecise, a proprietary DNA sequencing assay aimed at identifying individuals with multiple sclerosis. On the therapeutic front, Amarantus is advancing Eltoprazine, a small molecule drug targeting both Levadopa-Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson's patients and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD). Additionally, they are developing a mesencephalic-astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) for treating conditions modeled in animals, such as retinitis pigmentosa and retinal artery occlusion. Amarantus also maintains several specialized platforms: NuroPro, a diagnostic platform dedicated to neurodegenerative diseases with an initial application in Parkinson's; BC-SeraPro, an oncology diagnostic platform specifically for breast cancer; and the PhenoGuard platform, designed for discovering new neurotrophic factors. Beyond these, the company is progressing with Engineered Skin Substitute (ESS), a cell therapy-based product for autologous skin replacement, currently in mid-stage clinical development for severe, life-threatening burns. The company has established a collaborative research and development agreement with both the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research and Rutgers University.
