Rainbow BioSci seeks to develop treatment for traumatic brain injury

29 May 2012

USA-based Rainbow BioSciences, the biotech subsidiary of Rainbow Coral Corp (OTCBB: RBCC) revealed yesterday that it is continuing due diligence toward an agreement to help develop a promising new treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI), as concern continues to grow over the troubling incidence of TBI among athletes and soldiers.

Currently, TBI and other neuropathic maladies can only be diagnosed after death, leaving many soldiers and athletes to wonder if they have it or not. RBCC hopes to help change that.

The company is now negotiating a potential joint venture with Amarantus BioSciences (OTCBB AMBS), a biotech firm that has developed a therapeutic protein known as MANF to treat disorders associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress, including traumatic brain injury.
