Our Mission
We are researching the potential of Heat-Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes such as anti aging, scar and wound healing, and treatment of other skin diseases.
Our Science
What is HSP70?
A family of proteins found naturally in cells throughout the human body and in many other organisms. These proteins play a crucial role in cellular stress responses, helping cells cope with various stressors and maintaining their overall health and function.
Stress Response
HSP70 is produced by cells in response to stress factors such as heat, oxidative stress, infection, or inflammation. Its primary function is to protect the cell from damage that can occur under these conditions.
Protein Folding
One of its most important roles is to assist in the folding of other proteins within the cell. Proper protein folding is critical for proteins to function correctly. HSP70 helps prevent protein misfolding, which can lead to cellular dysfunction and diseases.
Cell Survival
HSP70 plays a role in promoting cell survival during stress. It helps prevent cellular damage and cell death by stabilizing proteins that may be vulnerable to stress-induced changes.
Natural HSP70, while vital for cellular protection and repair, has a limited potential due to its short half-life. Alnivo’s breakthrough lies in extending the lifespan of HSP70, unlocking its therapeutic possibilities for various applications, including skin repair, wound healing, scar reduction, aging, nerve repair, and fibrosis treatment.
