Counteracting cardiac fibrosis through LNP-mediated microRNA delivery

Fibrosis underpins all forms of cardiac disease. Cardiac fibrosis ensues from an over-activation of cardiac fibroblasts upon cardiac injury and their differentiation into myofibroblasts. Fibroblast activation is initially of protective nature, but …

Our research

We aim to discover and target fundamental processes that drive heart failure and regulate cardiac regeneration. Our therapeutic products will leverage endogenous reparative processes to generate new heart muscle, promote vessel formation and resolve …
