At today’s #labmeeting Adarsh Balaji related his work with @rrogerslab on #exomer TT1, which has fascinating bioactivity against #Duchenne in #mdx mice. More therapeutic options being developed for devastating myodegenerative disease of muscle and heart! @SmidtHeart @CIRMnews

Thrilled that @CIRMnews has awarded us two major grants to advance #exomer #RNAdrugs towards the clinic: 1) @AleCiulloPhD on TY2 for #arrhythmogenic #cardiomyopathy; 2) @LeferLab combining TY1 plus #semaglutide in #HFpEF. Crossing the dreaded Valley of Death in drug development!

Marking epic transition as Evan Zahn, founding director of congenital heart program @SmidtHeart, moves on to new pursuits. How often do you get to design and implement a novel care program from scratch? Seamless care from intrauterine life through old age, no handoffs. Amazing!

At #CVCT2025 I reviewed the nonlinear basic discovery arc underlying clinical development from autologous #CDCs #postMI to #deramiocel for #Duchenne #cardiomyopathy culminating in the blockbuster #HOPE3 trial by @Capricor. Odyssean journey! @SmidtHeart @CIRMnews @CoalitionDMD

We developed a drug discovery paradigm based on novel small RNAs from therapeutic extracellular vesicles. Started in 2019 and published this morning! Next stop, the clinic! @MarbanLab @AleCiulloPhD

Ecstatic to be senior author of this exceptional paper reporting the first #exomer, #TY1, a drug which I’m hopeful will change the way we practice medicine! Great team effort 🙏👍
Press release featuring @MarbanLab and my work on TY1, a synthetic small RNA drug bioinspired by the contents of therapeutic EVs. Grateful to be part of this disruptive work!

🙏 No better time to revisit the origin story, told well in the video here: https://t.co/uUNeWxKq6h Special thanks to the late, great Ron Victor, who first sensitized me to the unmet needs of patients with #DMD #cardiomyopathy

Catherine Jayasuriya thought it was strange her then-6-year-old son, Dusty Brandom, seemed to fall down more often than other children and couldn’t keep up with his siblings. That year, 1998,...
As in the Grapes of Wrath, the road to cell therapy is littered with hulks of unrealized efforts. Deramiocel is a validation of long hard years of vision, honest work, uncompromising dedication, and (as with all things) good fortune. Congratulations @MarbanLab, no one deserves

A 21 year journey of invention, discovery and mechanistic investigation yields the first therapy shown to improve both heart and skeletal muscle function in #Duchenne muscular dystrophy. @CIRMnews @NIH @CoalitionDMD @rrogerslab @A22002Mark @SmidtHeart
Breaking: Capricor is extremely pleased to announce positive topline results from our pivotal Phase 3 HOPE-3 clinical study evaluating Deramiocel in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. HOPE-3 met its primary endpoint and key cardiac secondary endpoint, with all Type 1 error–controlled
