Foldikines™: Reprogramming the Immune System Like Software Code
Cytokines are the immune system’s messengers, sending signals to direct immune responses. But in many diseases, these signals go wrong, much like in a faulty software program that starts producing errors.
Orikine Bio’s Foldikine™ platform works by engineering cytokines that act like "patches" in a malfunctioning computer program, fixing the faulty signals and restoring the immune system to its proper function.
