SAN MARINO, Calif., Feb. 12 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Epeius Biotechnologies announces the launch of its new
informative website, containing an award-winning video and an interactive e-book designed to introduce the general public to
the tumor-targeting and cancer-destroying biotechnologies behind the clinical development of Rexin-G®. Honored as the first
and so far only targeted, genetic medicine that has been validated in clinical trials worldwide (Nature Reviews, Genetics,
2007), Rexin-G is designed to seek-out and destroy metastatic cancers that are resistant to chemotherapy and which have
spread throughout the body.
The new website is designed to inform the general public of the basic platform
biotechnologies that enable the nano-medicine to flow beyond the finest catheter,
beyond the reach of the most gifted surgeon, to the very fabric of nature -- and to
update prospective patients as to the current availability of Rexin-G in an increasing
number of clinical trials conducted in the U.S. and the Republic of the Philippines.
The Rexin-G video is an animated tour-de-force of Science Communications. Winning
both the Bronze Telly Award for film and video productions and the Platinum Aurora
Award (Best of Show) for excellence in independent film-making, the Rexin-G video is
a triumph of Art in the service of Science, in the service of Medicine. As one watches
the artful collapsing of a tumor under the onslaught of the targeted genetic medicine, it
is interesting to note that the complex mechanisms of cellular apoptosis, focal necrosis,
and anti-angiogenesis were beautifully "translated" by a Native American
artist/programmer by visualizing and digitizing time-lapse photography that revealed the collapsing of a pumpkin in a field.
