CELLVIE presents at the Rejuvenation Startup Summit organized by Kizoo in Berlin

The Rejuvenation Startup Summit created by the Forever Healthy Foundation, is a vibrant networking event that aims to accelerate the development of the rejuvenation biotech industry. It is the world's largest gathering of Longevity startups in-person. The Summit brings together startups, members of the longevity venture capital/investor ecosystem, and researchers interested in founding or joining a startup.

Rejuvenation/Longevity biotech is a new, emerging field of medicine. It aims to prevent and reverse diseases of aging by addressing their common root cause, the aging process itself. Rejuvenation therapies aim to reverse or repair age-related cellular changes such as molecular waste, calcification, tissue stiffening, loss of stem cell function, genetic alterations, and impaired energy production.

Dr. Alex Schueller, cellvie's CEO and co-founder, was one of the distinguished speakers invited from longevity biotech start-ups. Alex presented on the potential of mitochondria as a new treatment modality, not only for ischemia-reperfusion injury, but also for aging related degeneration. Loss of mitochondria function and mass has been reported in muscle degeneration and cellvie has been working to counter these developments with mitochondria transplantation.

Alex stated that in cellvie - "We believe mitochondria transplantation might help in mitigating and even reversing mitochondria damage across the aging space."
