INSPIRED BY NATURE.
GUIDED BY SCIENCE.
Exploring the biological potential of donated full-term placental tissue.
A COMPLEX RESPONSE
TO INFLAMMATION.
Plakous’s human placental extract (HPE) brings together anti-inflammatory and cell-proliferation capabilities. Our research examines how these act together to support tissue development and repair.
PRESERVING WHAT
NATURE PUTS TOGETHER.
Donated tissue
Our platform begins with donated full-term placental tissue.
Biological complexity
Plakous reports preserving more than 950 proliferative, developmental and anti-inflammatory proteins and chemokines through its processing method.
Preclinical research
Growth factors are studied for their combined effects on inflammation and tissue development. These mechanisms remain under investigation.

THE IMMATURE GUT.
AN URGENT NEED.
NEC is a serious disease affecting premature infants. Plakous’s initial focus is prevention of NEC and support for digestive development in pediatric malabsorption. These are development goals, not established clinical benefits.
