  Lattice Biologics

  Health

  Lattice Biologics operates as a publicly held company specializing in cellular therapies and tissue engineering, with a primary focus on bone, skin, and cartilage regeneration. Founded in 1989, the company has undergone several name changes, including International Biologics and Blackstone Ventures. In September 2013, CEO Guy S. Cook led the asset purchase of International Biologics, rebranding it as Lattice Biologics. Mr. Cook has over two decades of experience in the tissue engineering field, having previously founded and developed Bacterin International into a publicly-traded organization.The company develops, processes, and manufactures biologic allograft products for both domestic and international markets. These products serve a wide array of clinical applications, including spinal fusion enhancement, post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, sports medicine repairs like ACLs, and bone regeneration in foot, ankle, and neurosurgeries. Its product portfolio includes ADM dermis, DBM Putty, and bone scaffolds, with bone scaffolds being a key revenue driver. For instance, the company's fascia resorbable membranes, derived from the fascia lata around the thigh, are used in dental bone grafting. The business generates revenue by selling these biologic products directly to physicians, surgeons, and hospitals, a strategic shift from its previous reliance on third-party distributors to improve margins. The company states that this direct sales model allows them to achieve gross margins between 60% and 85% on certain products.Lattice Biologics maintains its headquarters in Belgrade, Montana, which includes ISO Class 1000 and ISO Class 100 clean rooms and specialized manufacturing equipment. The company holds necessary licenses from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and registrations for 29 countries, enabling the export of its tissue-engineered products. In 2020, the company initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial for its stem cell technology, AmnioBoost, for treating severe acute respiratory syndrome related to COVID-19 infection, though it faced patient recruitment challenges. However, in August 2020, the FDA issued a warning letter stating that AmnioBoost was an unapproved and misbranded new drug being marketed for COVID-19 without a valid biologics license application (BLA) or an investigational new drug application (IND) in effect. In 2021, the U.S. subsidiary, Lattice Biologics Inc., filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy to restructure its debt. Following this, the parent company, Lattice Biologics Ltd., announced a strategic pivot to focus on the psychedelic and cannabis life sciences markets, exiting the biologics field to reorganize.
