Products
ZSCAN4-based autologous HSC therapy for telomere biology disorders
Autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell product manufactured by ex vivo transient expression of ZSCAN4 using a non‑integrating, temperature-sensitive vector to elongate telomeres and potentially restore hematopoietic function.
Temperature-controllable self-replicating RNA vaccine platform
A controllable self-replicating RNA platform optimized for intradermal delivery and temperature-dependent expression to elicit T cell-mediated immunity with reported favorable safety profile in Phase I/II clinical testing.
Large-payload linear mRNA platform for expression of full-length large proteins
Linear mRNA platform engineered to encode large proteins in a single mRNA strand (demonstrated capacity >13 kb), enabling delivery of full-length proteins such as dystrophin in preclinical models.
