Critical Therapeutics announces issuance of US patent for novel anti-inflammatory technology

of Nature, Dr. Tracey and his team identified the essential chemical receptor that dispatches a signal that inhibits the production of TNF. That receptor, which contains the nicotinic a-7 cholinergic receptor subunit, is necessary to inhibit the release of TNF and other pro-inflammatory cytokines.

"Dr. Tracey's research underscores the potential of pharmacological and electrical stimulation therapies that target a -7 subunits on peripheral immune cells," said Walter Newman, Ph.D., CTI's Chief Scientific Officer. "The issuance of this patent enables us to leverage our worldwide exclusive license to develop treatment methods based one or more approaches."
