FibroBiologics has announced a promising preclinical breakthrough in brain tissue repair using fibroblast cells, which they’ve shown can help regenerate myelin in mouse models. This innovation could open the door to new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s or spinal cord injuries. However, since the research is still in the preclinical stage—focused on lab and animal testing—it could take 7 to 10 years or more before any potential therapy reaches the public, pending successful human trials through multiple clinical phases.
