𝒎𝑹𝑵𝑨-𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒈𝒏𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒄 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒔 We are pioneering the use of the mRNAs of the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) for medical purposes. The SAT is a metabolically highly active organ and is directly involved in the development of metabolic diseases. Its activity is controlled by special mRNAs. These mRNAs provide a highly effective new starting point for the diagnosis and therapy of these diseases. Through our innovations, we can easily analyze the complex mRNA-patterns of a patients SAT. We have developed diagnostic tests for the personalized therapy-planning of metabolic patients. In the future, we will additionally target mRNA-based personalized therapy concepts for the recovery of SAT. We develop our patented products together with renowned university partners.
