Molecular imaging and therapy developer NeuroSurvival Technologies (NST) of Petach-Tikva, Israel, has completed $13.3 million in financing and changed its name.
NST now will be known as Aposense, the same name as the company's molecular imaging agent for programmed cell death.
The Aposense agent, currently under development, is designed to detect signs of apoptosis, a genetically controlled process of cell death that is associated with most medical disorders. Potential clinical applications include oncology, neurology, and cardiology.
