The results seen with one of Surrozens proprietary Wnt mimetic antibodies highlight the potential for this novel approach to treating inflammatory bowel disease.

Key Points: 
  • The results seen with one of Surrozens proprietary Wnt mimetic antibodies highlight the potential for this novel approach to treating inflammatory bowel disease.
  • SZN-1326 demonstrated the most rapid and robust repair of the injured colon epithelium without affecting normal epithelium and without causing hyperplasia.
  • In the intestine, Wnt signaling plays an important role in maintaining integrity of the epithelium as part of tissue homeostasis and during injury repair.
  • Surrozen designed an antibody-based platform that generates potent Wnt mimetics, which specifically target select Fzd receptors and co-receptors.
