Mission

Our mission is to reverse the aging of the body by restoring its own cellular potential.

100+ years of combined experience. Scientists capable of taking science from lab to clinic.

01 · Problem

Aging is a systemic process.

Aging affects cells, tissues, organs and the body as a whole. Modern pharmacology mostly treats age-related diseases one by one, but does not remove the overall age-related shift of tissues. Trying to target several lines of age-related pathology at once increases the complexity of therapy and compounds the risks of side effects.

Cell therapies are potentially closer to the body's natural repair mechanisms, but existing approaches hit three barriers — and the effect remains limited.

  1. 01

    Age of one's own cells

    Autologous cells carry the patient's age burden — their regenerative potential is limited from the start.

  2. 02

    Immunology of foreign cells

    Foreign (allogeneic) cells are recognized and rejected by the immune system — no durable effect.

  3. 03

    Oncogenic risk of iPSC / ESC

    Classic pluripotent technologies carry the risk of teratomas — the main barrier of the whole field.

02 · Solution

A new type of pluripotent cell — DPC.

AgeReset Bio develops autologous (own) cells obtained from an aged organism without Yamanaka factors and without the classic iPSC reprogramming pathway.

The platform's key testable hypothesis — absence of teratoma behavior while retaining pluripotent potential.

  1. 01

    Autologous

    The patient's own — material is obtained from their own organism.

  2. 02

    Functionally young

    By assumed biological state — a young cellular reserve.

  3. 03

    Universal

    Pluripotent potential: the ability to give rise to derivatives of all tissues.

  4. 04

    Safe

    By the method of acquisition — without the oncogenic pathway of classic technologies.

03 · The DPC platform

What is DPC.

Definition

We named the cells we obtained DPC — Dormant Pluripotent Cells. Unlike other types of pluripotent cells — iPSC and ESC — they are in a state of low spontaneous proliferation (division).

Main scientific hypothesis

If DPC truly combine autologous origin, universal pluripotent potential, a functionally young state and the absence of teratoma behavior — they can become the basis of a platform for safe cellular renewal of aged tissues.

04 · Why now

The technology is leaving the lab.

The first step from hypothesis to laboratory confirmation has already been taken. The team learned to obtain DPC in its own laboratory and formed the nearest testable plan of evidence for safety, universality and functionality.

Nearest value inflection

The key experiment tests the main risk of the entire pluripotent-cell field — teratoma formation. If DPC confirm pluripotency and at the same time do not form teratomas where control iPSC or ESC should demonstrate teratoma potential — this will create the basis for a new direction in cell rejuvenation technologies.

05 · What's already done

From cancer to rejuvenation.

A sequential research program since 2019.

  1. 2019 — 2023

    Cancer studied as incomplete rejuvenation

    The team explored non-standard approaches to treating various cancers in the paradigm "cancer — an unfinished attempt of the body to rejuvenate," and raised about $1M of investment.

  2. Concept

    Pluripotency without oncogenic risk

    A scientific concept was put forward: full rejuvenation is impossible without a stage of pluripotency with oncogenic risks switched off.

  3. 2024 — 2025

    Young conditions for aged cells

    The team researched ways to create young conditions for the cells of an aged organism. Two patents were obtained for products based on the secretome of stem cells from various sources.

  4. Laboratory

    DPC obtained twice

    In our own laboratory, DPC were obtained twice from an aged team member, without Yamanaka factors. Their signs of pluripotency were shown in vitro.

06 · Success criteria

What the nearest experiment tests.

  • 01

    Pluripotency

    By the standard protocol: the ability to differentiate into derivatives of all three germ layers.

  • 02

    Safety

    DPC do not form teratomas by the standard protocol in an immunodeficient mouse model — unlike iPSC / ESC.

  • 03

    Reproducibility

    Quality control and karyotypic genomic stability — assessment of chromosome structure and number.

  • 04

    Rejuvenation effects

    Functional, phenotypic and laboratory metrics in long-lived mice versus control.

DPC combined with plasmapheresis and young exosomes — a platform of cell technologies capable not only of improving health in old age, but of a testable increase in the maximum length of healthy life.

07 · Roadmap

Sequential de-risking.

From confirming DPC properties to a clinical program, personal cell banks, a partner network and long-term automation of individual cell therapy.

  1. Current stage

    Preclinical research

    We show the safety and viability of DPC technology, fundamentally different from other cell technologies. The first bridge from theory to experimental results in the field of rejuvenation.

  2. 02

    Extended preclinical stage

    Safety, expansion, storage, dosing, routes of administration of DPC. Criteria for the body's response. Lifespan control, transcriptomic and epigenomic clocks. Preparing the preclinical package for the clinic. Patent coverage.

  3. 03

    Clinical study

    Transition to medical validation of the platform in humans.

  4. 04

    Data platform

    De-identified data on biomarkers, safety, procedure frequency and individual response.

  5. 05

    Controlled clinical access

    Procedures in jurisdictions where they are legally permitted, with medical supervision and biomarker collection. The basis of personalized therapy.

  6. 06

    Personal DPC bank

    Creation, quality control, cryostorage and preparation of individual doses.

  7. 07

    Partner network. Scaling

    Granting clinics and cell laboratories the right to work under AgeReset Bio protocols.

  8. 08

    Long-term peak of the platform

    Personalized cell automats and family mini-banks after clinical and regulatory validation.

08 · Investors

Not a procedure — an infrastructure.

If DPC confirm pluripotency without teratomas — the company gains the basis for a new class of cell technologies for radical rejuvenation.

AgeReset Bio is building not a single procedure but an infrastructure of cellular rejuvenation: from the patient's own DPC bank and regularly repeated interventions to a licensed clinical network and future automation.

Monetization model

Not a single business model, but a platform with several monetization stages that switch on as risks are removed.

  1. 01

    Preclinical

    A scientific-investment model: the company proves safety, the absence of teratoma risk, DPC reproducibility and first efficacy metrics. The main value — growth of company value after each proven stage.

  2. 02

    Clinical studies

    Regulated access for volunteers in permitted jurisdictions — with informed consent, medical supervision, adverse-event registration and biomarker collection.

  3. 03

    Patient DPC bank

    A patient creates their own DPC bank once, then uses it every 6–12 months. Revenue: initial acquisition, quality control, cryostorage, subscription, dose preparation, repeat procedures, monitoring.

  4. 04

    Partner network

    Granting clinics and laboratories the right to work under the protocol — scalable infrastructure. Revenue: licensing, training, certification, quality-control standards, royalties, lab audits.

  5. 05

    Cell automats and family mini-banks

    The long-term peak. After standardization and regulatory clearance — personalized automated systems. Revenue: device sale/lease, consumables, service, software, remote quality control, protocol updates.

The long-term goal — to make cellular rejuvenation an accessible, manageable, repeatable and scalable medical infrastructure.
