Telomir Pharmaceuticals Demonstrates Telomir-1 Reverses Key Drivers of Cellular Decline in Human Cell Lines Supporting Therapeutic Potential in Autism and Spasmodic Dysphonia
Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:TELO) ("Telomir"), a leader in age-reversal science, today announced new preclinical data showing that its lead oral drug candidate, Telomir-1, reverses multiple hallmarks of cellular decline across several human cell lines. The findings include improved mitochondrial activity, reduced oxidative stress, restored calcium balance, and protection from toxic metal effects-offering a mechanistic foundation for the Company's new research initiatives in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and spasmodic dysphonia (SD).
The in vitro studies, conducted in collaboration with SmartAssays, demonstrated Telomir-1's ability to:
● | Improve cell viability under stress, particularly in dividing cell populations. | |
Maintaining cell survival is critical for tissue repair, immune defense, and slowing the progression of degenerative conditions. | ||
● | Boost mitochondrial function, indicating stronger energy production. | |
Healthy mitochondria are essential for powering cells and preventing energy loss that drives aging and diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and autism. | ||
● | Reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS), limiting oxidative damage. | |
Excess ROS contributes to DNA damage, inflammation, neurodegeneration and cell death, all of which accelerate aging and chronic diseases. | ||
● | Restore calcium signaling, helping maintain healthy cellular functions and communication. | |
Disrupted calcium balance impairs brain, muscle, and heart function and is a known trigger of cellular death and neurodegeneration. | ||
● | Protect cells from metal-induced toxicity, including iron and copper-both linked to ROS formation, calcium dysregulation and accelerated cellular aging and death. | |
Iron and copper accumulation drive oxidative stress and mitochondrial failure. |
These results suggest that Telomir-1 may address fundamental cellular stress mechanisms associated with aging and chronic disease.
