FGF2-STAB® as a novel cosmetics ingredient

FGF2-STAB®: Clinically Proven Cosmetics Ingredient!

Enantis is thrilled to share some amazing news with you! FGF2-STAB®, a groundbreaking cosmetics ingredient, has been clinically and dermatologically tested and proven effective. It was shown that it retains skin hydration, reduces wrinkles, and softens the skin.

FGF2-STAB® underwent rigorous testing, showing impressive results. Participants experienced improved skin hydration leading to visible wrinkle reduction and softer skin. What’s more, FGF2-STAB® is safe to use, with no cytotoxicity or skin irritation observed during testing.

This verification of FGF2-STAB® as an effective cosmetics ingredient is a game-changer in achieving optimal skin health. This revolutionary product is now available for supply and licensing as an innovative cosmetics ingredient. We will be happy to hear from you if you want to give it a try in your cosmetics formulation.

Exciting times ahead!

Cyclic and dimeric protein variants of FGF2-STAB

Our FGF2-STAB® has been given an interesting redo by a team of scientists from the University of Wroclaw. They have used our thermostable molecule to create cyclic and dimeric protein variants that might have higher potential in regenerative and cancer medicine. The resulting variants present different effects on the signaling cascade and modulate the pleiotropic effect of FGF2. Proposed applications of these new variants include wound healing – as cyclic FGF2-STAB® is more active and stable, anticancer therapy – as FGF2-STAB®-based drug carrier and also in glucose uptake – for diabetic patients that cannot be treated with insulin.

FGF2-STAB MEAT – bovine/porcine thermostable FGF2 for cultured meat use

Cultured meat can help us solve some of the key global problems: greenhouse gas production, excessive water usage and animal cruelty. At Enantis we are proud to contribute to a more sustainable future with our hyperstable Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2-STAB® or FGF2-G3). This protein, originally designed for stem cell culturing, was used as a base by our scientific team to develop bovine/porcine FGF2-STAB® variants intended specifically for the cultured meat use: FGF2-STAB® MEAT!
Thanks to the positive feedback from cultured meat companies that have already tested it, we will soon make FGF2-STAB® MEAT available to everyone! Get in touch if you want some samples for testing or if you just know to know more about it.

Enantis’ FGF2-STAB® licensed by Core Biogenesis

Enantis, innovative protein engineering company, and Core Biogenesis, company focusing on ground-breaking bioproduction of proteins in plants, have recently concluded a license agreement. This license grants Core Biogenesis the rights for global use of Enantis’ patented FGF2-STAB® to be used in areas of research, cellular agriculture and cell therapy.

“We were really impressed by the scalable technology that Core Biogenesis has developed. Through this deal, our FGF2-STAB® will become available in large quantities at a competitive price and can serve the needs of cultured meat industry.” says Roman Badik, CEO of Enantis. “We strongly believe that the synergy between our companies will be beneficial for both our growing businesses”.

FGF2-STAB®, originally named FGF2-G3, was developed by Enantis and Masaryk University, using computational methods to improve thermostability of the wild-type sequence of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2-WT or bFGF). While FGF2-WT quickly destabilizes in standard stem cell culture conditions, FGF2-STAB® retains full biological activity even after five days at 37°C. This allows for a more homogenous, undifferentiated stem cell culture, less frequent medium changes, and weekend-free cell culture scheduling.

“Core Biogenesis is excited to collaborate with Enantis and their innovative technology for protein design and engineering. Between Enantis’ protein engineering unique capabilities and Core Biogenesis’ ultra-scalable bioproduction platform, we strongly believe this partnership will bring major solutions for customers in the cultivated meat industry and to industrials and researchers that require large quantities of FGF-2″  said Alexandre Reeber, CEO of Core Biogenesis.

About Enantis

Enantis is a biotechnology company founded as a spin-off from Masaryk University, Czech Republic. Enantis’ expertise is based on vast experience in protein engineering and state-of-the-art software tools. Our key product, FGF2-STAB®, is a patented thermostable form of basic fibroblast growth factor that can revolutionize stem cell culturing. This protein is 50-times more stable than its native counterpart and has a fully retained biological activity. We also focus on other members of the growth factor family and are planning to bring various new thermostable growth factors on the market. More info at enantis.com.
