Every human experiences a decline in immune system health as they age, which contributes to degenerative conditions throughout the body including muscle atrophy. Age-related muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) and muscle wasting from disuse or disease significantly decreases quality of life. Dr. Keirstead will describe Immunis’ novel approach to combat age and disease-related immune decline using a stem cell secretome product (STEM). He will share Immunis’ progress of its FDA-approved Phase 1/2a clinical trial administering STEM to aged patients with muscle wasting associated with knee osteoarthritis, a condition that encompasses disuse, age and disease-related muscle atrophy.
