Item 8.01 Other Events
Telomir Pharmaceuticals Confirms Lifespan Restoration and Normalization of Accelerated Aging in Preclinical Model of Progeria (a rare genetic disorder causing rapid aging)
Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: TELO), an emerging leader in age-reversal science, announced significant findings from a preclinical study focusing on progeria, a rare genetic condition that causes children to age much faster than normal. Progeria leads to health issues commonly associated with aging, such as growth problems, stiff joints, heart disease, and premature death, often in the early teens.
The study was conducted in nematodes (C. elegans) with a mutation in the wrn-1 gene, which is similar to a gene in humans linked to Werner Syndrome, a form of Progeria. Nematodes with this mutation had much shorter lifespans compared to normal ones. However, Telomir-1 was able to restore their lifespan to near-normal levels. These findings suggest that Telomir-1 could potentially help address the cellular issues that cause rapid aging and related health problems.
