Telomir Pharmaceuticals Reports Progress in Pancreatic Cancer Research

Telomir Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology company, disclosed findings demonstrating that its compound, Telomir-1, reduces survival and mitochondrial activity of aggressive pancreatic cancer cells. This follows prior results in triple-negative breast and prostate cancers, suggesting a broader impact on cancer pathways. The study reveals that Telomir-1 could alter energy metabolism and oxidative pathways linked to cancer growth.

The research indicates Telomir-1's potential role in epigenetic processes and cancer regulation, focusing on genes like MASPIN and RASSF1A. These discoveries hint at new therapeutic avenues by exploiting cancer's vulnerabilities.

Pancreatic cancer remains challenging, with a low survival rate and resistance to existing treatments. Telomir-1 aims to disrupt the epigenetic and metabolic resilience of such tumors, offering a different approach than conventional cytotoxic strategies.
