Caydan Portfolio Company MitoSense Secures U.S. Patent for Mitochondria-Based Therapy for Neurodegenerative Diseases

Plymouth, MA - Caydan Capital Partners announced today that its portfolio company, MitoSense, Inc., a pioneering research and development company focused on treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, has been issued U.S. Patent No. 12,150,958, titled "Compositions and Methods for Treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases, and Associated Methods for Preparing Said Compositions." This patent marks a significant milestone in the company's mission to develop groundbreaking therapies.

The newly secured patent protects MitoSense's proprietary techniques for Mitochondria Organelle Transplantation (MOT™), a method aimed at replenishing mitochondria in human cells to treat ALS and potentially a range of other neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Multiple Sclerosis.
