Targeted Cell Therapies (TCT) is a Massachusetts-based biopharmaceutical company that is using its powerful technology platform for the development of biotherapeutics for a broad range of human diseases. The technology permits the oral delivery of large molecules, avoiding the usual need for injection. The company's approach uses glucan particles containing nanoplexed nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) payloads encoding therapeutic molecules. Following oral administration, the glucan particles and their payload are rapidly taken up by macrophages in the small intestine. As the macrophages migrate to sites of inflammation or pathology, the payloads are processed by cellular machinery into active therapeutics. TCT believes that its orally administered therapeutics will be more efficacious and safer than the currently available injectables. Targeted Cell Therapies lead compound is for Gaucher Disease, the most common lysosomal storage disorder. Other targets for the company's biotherapeutics include lytic and low bone density conditions and inflammatory disorders.
