Aptahem and Seattle Children's Research Institute partner to study experimental sepsis drug
Aptahem AB (publ) announces a partnership with Seattle Children’s Research Institute to explore the mechanisms underlying their new aptamer-based therapeutic for acute and chronic inflammatory conditions including sepsis.
