Targeting chronic inflammation to prevent age-related disease progression

WHO WE ARE
Introduction to LifeCyte
LifeCyte is advancing next-generation treatments designed to slow or stop the progression of degenerative diseases. By focusing on inflammation at the cellular level, our approach offers new possibilities for patients facing vision loss, cognitive decline, and other age-related challenges.
PRIMARY FOCUS
A leading cause of vision loss in older adults, AMD damages the retina and blurs central vision. LifeCyte’s therapy reduces inflammation and drusen buildup to slow progression and help preserve sight.
SECONDARY FOCUS
MCI is an early stage of memory decline that often leads to Alzheimer’s. LifeCyte’s approach targets brain inflammation to slow or delay that progression.
SECONDARY FOCUS
Alzheimer’s causes memory loss and toxic protein buildup in the brain. LifeCyte works to calm inflammatory pathways linked to this damage, aiming to protect cognitive function.
SECONDARY FOCUS
Head trauma can trigger swelling and chronic brain inflammation. LifeCyte’s therapy is designed to reduce those inflammatory signals and support recovery.
LifeCyte's novel formulation is applicable to multiple chronic inflammatory conditions, with potential for broader therapeutic applications across age-related AMD, including indications of arthritis efficacy.
LIFECYTE'S PROTOTYPE PRODUCT
Breakthrough treatment for AMD
RestoViz is LifeCyte’s primary, initial product offering - an innovative oral combination therapy that represents a breakthrough in treating age-related macular degeneration.
