GENEMEDICS APP
GENEMEDICS NUTRITION
ARA 290, also known as cibinetide, is an 11–amino acid peptide that has potent tissue-protective and tissue-regenerative properties. It is called “nonhematopoietic peptide” because ARA 290 exerts its beneficial effects without stimulating erythropoesis or red blood cell production. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that by selectively interacting with the innate repair receptor, ARA 290 mediates tissue protection.
ARA 290 is designed from the structure of erythropoietin. It mediates tissue protection by selectively interacting with the innate repair receptor. This in turn stimulates tissue repair and decreases inflammation and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
By selectively interacting with the innate repair receptor, ARA 290 exerts its regenerative effects on different body tissues. Strong scientific evidence supports its benefits on various forms of tissue injuries:
Neuropathic pain is often debilitating because it presents as a shooting or burning pain. Sometimes, it can resolve on its own but is usually chronic in nature. In worst cases, it comes and goes and can significantly alter one’s quality of life. Interestingly, there is an overwhelming body of clinical evidence suggesting that ARA 290 can offer long-term relief for neuropathic pain associated with nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system:
Evidence also suggests that ARA290 possesses potent anti-diabetic properties that can be beneficial in patients with diabetes mellitus and chronically elevated blood sugar levels:
A growing body of evidence suggests that ARA 290 also has immune-modulating properties necessary for warding off a wide array of diseases:
ARA 290 side effects are very uncommon. There have been some side effects associated with the use of this drug wherein the patient had one of the issues listed below at some point while being on ARA 290. However, these side effects weren’t confirmed to be associated with the treatment and could have been a coincidence and not related to the use of ARA 290. Despite this, it was listed as a side effect associated with ARA 290 even though these associated side effects are very uncommon.
Side effects associated with ARA 290 may include the following:

ARA290, a non-erythropoietic EPO derivative, attenuates renal ischemia/reperfusion injury
The study titled “ARA290, a non-erythropoietic EPO derivative, attenuates renal ischemia/reperfusion injury” investigated the potential protective effects of ARA290, a derivative of erythropoietin (EPO), in reducing renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Ischemia/reperfusion injury is a condition that occurs when blood flow is temporarily reduced or interrupted to an organ (in this case, the kidneys) and then restored, leading to tissue damage.
ARA290 is a non-erythropoietic EPO derivative, which means it does not stimulate red blood cell production like traditional EPO. The study aimed to assess whether ARA290 could protect against kidney damage caused by ischemia and subsequent reperfusion.

Alternative erythropoietin-mediated signaling prevents secondary microvascular thrombosis and inflammation within cutaneous burns
The study titled “Alternative erythropoietin-mediated signaling prevents secondary microvascular thrombosis and inflammation within cutaneous burns” explored an alternative signaling pathway of erythropoietin (EPO) and its potential role in preventing secondary microvascular thrombosis and inflammation in cutaneous burns.
In the context of cutaneous burns, tissue damage can lead to thrombosis (blood clot formation) and inflammation, which can exacerbate the injury. Erythropoietin is known for its role in stimulating red blood cell production, but it also has other potential effects.
The study investigated whether EPO could prevent microvascular thrombosis and inflammation within burn injuries through alternative signaling pathways. The researchers found that alternative EPO-mediated signaling pathways could indeed reduce secondary microvascular thrombosis and inflammation in cutaneous burns.

Ketamine does not produce relief of neuropathic pain in mice lacking the β-common receptor (CD131)
In the study conducted by Swartjes et al., the researchers investigated the effect of ketamine on neuropathic pain in mice lacking the beta-common receptor (CD131). The findings of this study revealed that ketamine did not produce relief of neuropathic pain in mice without the beta-common receptor. This suggests that the presence of the beta-common receptor may be necessary for ketamine to exert its analgesic effects in neuropathic pain conditions. This research contributes to our understanding of the mechanisms involved in ketamine’s action on neuropathic pain and highlights the importance of the beta-common receptor in mediating its effects.

A peptide-based erythropoietin-receptor agonist for pure red-cell aplasia
The study titled “A peptide-based erythropoietin-receptor agonist for pure red-cell aplasia” by Macdougall et al. explored the development of a novel peptide-based erythropoietin-receptor agonist as a therapeutic approach for pure red-cell aplasia (PRCA). PRCA is a rare condition characterized by a severe deficiency of red blood cells due to the presence of neutralizing antibodies against endogenous erythropoietin. The researchers aimed to address this condition by developing a synthetic peptide that could activate the erythropoietin receptor independently of erythropoietin itself. The study demonstrated the efficacy of this peptide-based agonist in increasing red blood cell production and improving hemoglobin levels in PRCA patients, providing a promising alternative treatment option for this challenging medical condition (Reference: Macdougall I.C., Rossert J., Casadevall N., Stead R.B., Duliege A.M., Froissart M., Eckardt K.U.
