More Biotech startup puts new spin on regenerative medicine for nervous system repair MedCity News Share
An early-stage Midwest biotech startup with a unique approach to treating damaged nervous system tissue is looking for its first round of capital. Axonia Medical has raised $1 million of the $3 million it hopes to secure in a Series A financing that would carry the Kalamazoo, Michigan-based biotech through large-animal trials of its regenerative nervous system repair technology.
