AgeX is a biotechnology company focused on the development of novel therapeutics for age-related degenerative disease. AgeX’s mission is to apply the proprietary technology platform related to telomerase-mediated cell immortality and regenerative biology to address a broad range of diseases of aging. The current preclinical development efforts include two cell-based therapies derived from telomerase-positive pluripotent stem cells and two product candidates derived from the company’s proprietary induced Tissue Regeneration (iTR™) technology. AGEX-BAT1 and AGEX-VASC1 are cell-based approaches in the preclinical stage of development comprised of young regenerative cells modified using AgeX’s UniverCyte™ technology facilitating immune tolerance, formulated in HyStem® matrix, designed to correct metabolic imbalances in aging and to restore vascular support in ischemic tissues respectively. AGEX-iTR1547 is a drug-based formulation in preclinical development intended to restore regenerative potential in a wide array of aged tissues afflicted with degenerative disease using the company’s proprietary iTR technology. Renelon™ is a first-generation iTR product designed to promote scarless tissue repair which AgeX plans to initially develop as a topically-administered device for commercial development through a 510(k) application. In addition to the product candidates in early development, AgeX, through its LifeMap subsidiary, currently markets genomic interpretation algorithms. AgeX also markets Cytiva® comprised of PSC-derived heart muscle cells used in screening drugs for efficacy and safety.
