Problem
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative and painful disease affecting more than 500 million people and has no cure. Current treatments only alleviate symptoms, without halting cartilage destruction or restoring joint function. Dharma Biosciences addresses this critical need by developing a therapy based on modified microRNAs that act directly on chondrocytes, reprogramming them to regain their regenerative capacity and reverse disease progression.
Solutions Offered - Summary
Regenerative therapy using modified microRNAs.
Solutions Offered - Details
Dharma addresses the lack of disease-modifying therapies (DMOADs) for osteoarthritis by developing a molecular solution that targets the cellular cause of joint damage rather than just its symptoms, restoring cartilage-producing cell function and enabling true tissue regeneration through the use of engineered, next-generation microRNA molecules.
