Longevity: Versetti Family Office's Bold Investments htTps://share.google/kf0RgCwPe1FRGKBjM
Genflow Biosciences is a company focused on longevity and has secured European patent rights for a SIRT6 variant, according to a LinkedIn post from Versetti Family Office.
Versetti Family Office posted about Genflow Biosciences' patent progress, but this doesn't confirm a direct investment; it could be a statement of interest or awareness within the longevity sector.

Longevity: Versetti Family Office's Bold Investments
PRESS RELEASE
Published September 20, 2025
.......
Angel believes that even if lifespan extension is beyond our current scientific possibilities, we could at the very least solve lifespan: "The very least longevity could do is to enable people to reach old age not unlike the society in Brave New World, even if people cannot live longer, at least they can die fit and beautiful, not in misery and slow decay; after all, the biggest argument of the general population against longevity is that they would not want to extend the miserable old years of their lives - let's focus on that, while we seek answers to how to expand lifespan!"
A Future-Oriented Vision
What sets Angel Versetti and Versetti Family Office apart is not only a remarkable track record as biotech and AI investors, but a sense of possibility and "moonshot" thinking at the heart of every venture. Angel himself is a serial entrepreneur having exited multiple successful startups in AI and Web3 domain. He brings his entrepreneurial skillset and passion, as well as that of many of his prior ventures' early employees to his investments. Versetti Family Office maintains an open call to founders working on longevity and AI: bring your boldest ideas and let's shape the future together. Versetti Family Office has earmarked 50 million USD to invest in the boldest commercially viable longevity moonshots.
Leadership & Global Recognition
Angel Versetti's expertise is respected by leaders and policymakers around the world. In summer 2025, he was invited to speak at the UK Parliament as a Roundtable speaker, sharing his insights on innovation, longevity, and the future of healthtech with government officials and top industry figures. This autumn, he will address the Longevity Summit in China and has recently spoken at the AIM Summit in the UAE alongside the former Prime Minister of the UK Boris Johnson and the Minister of Economy of the UAE. These high-profile engagements signal how Angel's opinions are valued across continents by the world's leading governments and experts in longevity and deeptech. He believes governments, especially in most developed and advanced countries have imperative to assure healthy lifespan of their citizens: "Imagine the economic value for the country, if wise and seasoned 100-year old's had the youthfulness, sharpness of mind and energy of 30 year olds - how much the society would benefit; how much stress would be taken from the hospitals and social security networks".
Longevity: Versetti Family Office's Bold Investm
While family offices cannot legally hide shareholdings in London Stock Exchange (LSE) listed companies above regulatory thresholds, they can sometimes obscure beneficial ownership through complex structures, nominee shareholders, or by staying below mandatory disclosure percentages. UK rules, including Persons with Significant Control (PSC) requirements and DTR 5 disclosure rules, mandate disclosure, but offshore vehicles or trusts can create layers that complicate transparency.
LSEG
+4
Key ways ownership is sometimes obscured, and the limitations:
Nominee Shareholders: Shares may be registered in the name of a bank, broker, or custodian (nominee) rather than the family office directly, masking the true owner on public registers.
Threshold Management: Disclosure is generally required when voting rights reach or exceed 3% (or 5% for some AIM companies). Family offices may split holdings across multiple entities to keep each below these thresholds.
Offshore Structures: Using companies or trusts in jurisdictions with strict secrecy laws, such as Cayman or Bermuda, can hide the ultimate beneficial owner.
Trusts and Corporate Entities: Placing shares inside complex trust structures separates legal ownership from beneficial control, making it challenging to identify the ultimate beneficiary.
Not sure if any shares/warrants have been passed on, and reckon they're still in the tight hands of the Major shareholders who've exercised them, and presumbly plenty of time before a TR1 is required, and highly likely the reason they were exercised at this time was to provide Genflow with additional/urgent funding to advance/progress one of their programmes??? No doubt all will be revealed in the coming days, although shares held by family offices and the like, no doubt can be hidden??? Gl:-)

The trial aims to demonstrate proof of concept in dogs, replicating promising results previously seen in mice. “It worked like magic in mice. We reasonably think that it will work likewise in dogs,” Leire stated. Unlike mice, however, dogs share environmental conditions with humans, making them a more relevant model for translation into human therapies.

Dr Eric Leire, Chief Executive Officer of Genflow Biosciences said: ""These preliminary interim results represent a significant milestone for Genflow and significantly strengthen our position for animal health partnerships. The consistency of positive signals across multiple independent endpoints from survival and quality of life to measures of muscle preservation and frailty reduction, combined with an excellent safety profile, supports our SIRT6 platform as a credible, differentiated asset for the companion animal market.
28/4/26
Dr Eric Leire, Chief Executive Officer of Genflow Biosciences said: "We are encouraged by continued and new discussions with leading participants in the animal health sector. Our previously reported positive preliminary findings are now being evaluated by a broader group of counterparties under confidentiality agreements as part of an ongoing review of our canine programme. Our focus remains on advancing the programme and generating further data to support future development."
There's a lot riding on the hope of positive results, don't wish to think of what may happen should the data prove EL and co had got it wrong, the treatment doesn't work after all the bluster.
Possibly be released sooner rather than later. As April 26 was pencilled in, hopefully this is a good sign, they are making sure everything is correct. I suspect EL is already aware of the results and not quite legally ready to publish.
Good post on Linkedin, I wonder if the UCLA data is almost ready.

Hope the wedding goes well! We have a batch of major shareholders in Scotland, so be careful they don’t gatecrash the wedding! 🤣
My daughter is getting married in Scotland at the end of this month, I'm sailing there and back and for the most part won't have internet access for around 3 weeks, and won't be browsing the web at the wedding!
Obviously that means I won't be posting here, but also could miss some fairly critical events coming up.
- Methylation clock data from the SLAB trial
- Biopsy and histological data from the same trial
- Details of animal health partnership negotiation
- Partner equity stake?
- TR1s for new or changed holdings (notably missing post warrant exercises)
- Glaucoma progress report
- Acuitas MASH progress report

I was expecting some news this morning to be honest after the Hilda Au presentation yesterday, however if they are in the middle of negotiations and the ASGCT is still ongoing maybe next week.
As you have said Moneymunch, the exercise by long-term, institutional investors signals confidence in Genflow's growth.
If they were out for a quick flip a lot more would have hit the market yesterday
Genflow Biosciences PLC (LSE: GENF) announced on May 8, 2026, that investors have exercised warrants to acquire new ordinary shares, raising gross proceeds of approximately £359,375 to support the company’s ongoing gene therapy operations.
Key Details of the Warrant Exercise
Total New Shares Issued: 30,756,577 new ordinary shares were issued.
Total Capital Raised: Approx. £359,375, comprising tranches at 1.9p and 1.1p per share.
Purpose: Funds will advance the development of GF-1002, a SIRT6 gene therapy for age-related diseases and MASH.
Confidence Indicator: The exercise by long-term, institutional investors signals confidence in Genflow's growth.
Expected to see some news this week, but I’m guessing Gad and Eric are busy with ASGCT in full swing in the US, and Acuitas showcasing previews of the companies IP.
Hopefully the stock has now hit the floor, we can now expect rises.
Sorry, can you tell me what news is expected tomorrow?
I don't think any of those who've exercised their warrants to raise £450k cash into Genflow's coffers
would be considering selling any at this stage in proceedings, and would be very surprised if that's their near term plan, otherwise it would drive down the value of their existing shareholding, and so no doubt will be waiting for much bigger and better things to come, along with rest of us, and also the warrants could have been exercised at this time to increase their percentage shareholding, prior to a potential M&A deal or similar??? Gl :-)
I was expecting a little more activity this morning with all those warrant shares added to the mix, but it just seems to be a wait and see moment.
My bet is that the holders of the new shares are waiting until tomorrow incase there is good news out of Boston which will drive the price higher
Now being dragged down, presumably down to a continuation of heavy sales from yesterday.

Another excellent post pp, even though it doesn’t specifically mention Genflow the people that need to know will know in terms of big pharma, sounds like it’s game on with this massive unlock and allows a blockbuster rns from Genflow when the time is right. I wonder how the us would value Genf now, I doubt at the current very low market cap and as this unfolds I don’t think the uk current price at 2p will have much bearing on the potential deal value.
While it doesn't specifically name drop Genflow or SIRT6 it is relevant and important to the MASH IND process.
The poster provides the specific Bio-Infrastructure validation required for Genflow’s MASH (liver) program.
The research proves that Acuitas LNPs can achieve targeted liver gene expression in primates without toxic profiles.
This De-risks SIRT6 MASH delivery. The value is in the delivery vehicle that Genflow is now partnered with. Genflow’s pivot to mRNA delivery was theoretical until this poster confirmed the vehicle is "primate-proven" for liver targeting—the exact target for Genflow's lead GF-1002 candidate.
Big Pharma companies looking at SIRT6 don't just ask "does it work?" they ask "how do you get it into the liver?" This poster answers the hardest part of that question. It proves the platform is Partnership Ready.
Not a bullseye immediate boost for genflow, but separate validation of the tech and another step on the roadmap.
Directors Talk
Genflow adds delivery expertise through fully funded Acuitas deal
May 12, 2026
12:33 pm
Genflow Biosciences has signed a fully funded collaboration with Acuitas Therapeutics to test lipid nanoparticle delivery for its SIRT6-based gene therapy platform.
The deal gives Genflow access to Acuitas’ delivery technology without direct cost or shareholder dilution. Delivery is one of the main technical hurdles in gene therapy. A strong target is not enough, the therapy also needs an effective way to reach the right cells.
Under the agreement, Acuitas will formulate Genflow’s SIRT6 mRNA using its lipid nanoparticle technology. Genflow will then test the formulations in preclinical studies. The aim is to assess whether this delivery route can support the company’s broader work in age-related disease.
Genflow’s platform is built around a variant of the SIRT6 gene associated with exceptional human longevity. The company is developing gene therapies designed to address biological mechanisms linked to ageing and age-related conditions.
Because Acuitas is funding the work, Genflow can progress an important delivery experiment while conserving cash. If the preclinical work is successful, Genflow may gain stronger data around delivery, formulation and platform feasibility. That could help the company refine its development strategy and improve its position for future partnering discussions.
Great information and definitely suggests that factors are in play that the general population of investors aren’t aware of, excited to see what tomorrow brings, feels like a well thought out strateg plan which could evolve into something much bigger I hope
Unreliable.

There is an awful lot of volume today and they are not sells as the price would have collapsed below 2p by now, this is steady accumulation ahead of tomorrow. The spread is very tight 2.1 to sell and 2.15 to buy. The rest of the week could get interesting.
Latest Trades at 2.15 & 2.155 are definitely Buys!
Looks like a bargain at this level
Wall Street journal indicates there was some heavy loading by new investors over the past month, some of which would need to notify in a takeover.
I believe the warrant activator knew all freefloat was absorbed into diamond hands, and they could no longer deliver new orders, so had no choice but to activate the warrants to inject some liquidity.
It’s also great timing, as the Wallonia instalment is late as usual, so at least Genflow have additional cash runway to see them over for a while, or at least until licensing or a buy out is agreed for the dog programme.
Yer, 2.15 / 2.16 to buy. Sell is 2.10 / 2.11

If Big news is on its way, and maybe the reason of the timing of the warrants, ( £450k in Genflow's coffers ) , then a lot of cheap shares have been accumulated since the RNS!!!??? Gla ;-)
These things happen, and you have to ride the rapids from time to time. I won't even think of selling until the stock rises to 150p or more.
On the contrary, this could / should bounce big in the coming days. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!!! Hla holders, Genflow potential and prospects remain UP there with the best!!! :-)
All a bit embarrassing this for LTH and Eric.
Great results and the share price heading the right way and then the last RNS has completely destroyed the share price again.
Need clarification immediately from the powers that be.
If not the selling won't stop because nobody wants to be the last person on a sinking ship.
Sell now and buy back in what the rot stops.
All too familiar these days in our markets.
Get it sorted.
Agreed
Not at all worried about the drop here this morning, the usual combination of weak hands selling and MM' s manipulation, walking the price down to grab shares. Everyboby has ther own agenda and mine is hold these tight for the long term, should have topped up this morning though and not last night, oh well if it falls more I my have to add a few more.

That's the issue now, and RNS could drop any time. Can't understand anyone selling at the moment, you would have to have ignored everything the company has said since Jan 1st or be desperate for cash.
Well I managed to grab a few more below 2.3p this afternoon it may go lower tomorrow but i took the chance rather than waiting till Wednesday, we my get an RNS in the morning
Mumble, us LTH’s deserve to fill our boots, don’t you think 😉
I think we all want the same thing, and you’re right, once news starts coming out, the price will promptly recover again 🥰
Careful, talk of price dipping will lead to you being labelled disingenuous. Only posts that talk of such things as “goodbye sub 3p” on news that is surely imminent are favoured.
Waiting to top up at below 2p personally. Unless there is an early deal with one of these tier 1 veterinary companies I think the end of the SLAB results will be the next catalyst for a price rise which I believe Eric stated would be due four months from April.

A licence deal with upfront cash and regular royalty payments there afte would be my guess.
License.
Summary for Investors/Industry
The pharmaceutical value of Genflow plc lies in its ability to successfully deliver a "centenarian" variant of the SIRT6 gene into cells. If the final SLAB dog trial data (July 2026) confirms the biological age-reversal suggested by early methylation clock data, Genflow becomes a prime acquisition target for larger pharmaceutical firms looking to enter the multi-billion dollar longevity and regenerative medicine market
Or more.
Two to three hundred million..
Yes offgrid very positive, Eric said worse case big up front way larger than current market cap suggests to me Genflow prefer to sell the dog program outright. Anyone any guesses from fun what we could be looking at for an outright purchase, I would say way way north of 50M 🤞the best thing for me is either kind of deal let’s Eric get on with Ophthalmology Sarcopenia and Glaucoma without any funding worries but will also attract high levels of interest from major pharmaceutical companies although I feel we are well on the radar already
Long term holders are very happy marex are being nudged out. Means all the legacy issues will soon be behind us and the engines can roar 💰Expecting a “steller” month (stealing Moneys words) and moving with speed now breaks are off.
They got the bad news out the way yesterday IMO. Possibly because they intend to release the long awaited histology/body clock data next week.
Genflow Biosciences announced the exercise of warrants leading to the issuance of 30,756,577 new ordinary shares, raising gross proceeds of approximately £359,375 to support its operations. The new shares, issued following warrant exercises at adjusted prices, will be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange, increasing the company’s total share count and voting rights to 566,409,782, a development relevant for shareholder disclosure obligations under UK transparency rules.
The expansion of Genflow’s share capital reflects ongoing investor engagement with the company as it advances its gene therapy pipeline for age-related conditions. By bolstering its equity base while progressing clinical programs such as GF-1002, Genflow positions itself to further develop its longevity-focused therapies and maintain its presence on the main market, with implications for existing shareholders’ stakes and future capital-raising flexibility.
More about Genflow Biosciences Plc
Genflow Biosciences Plc is a UK-headquartered biotechnology company with R&D facilities in Belgium, developing gene therapies for age-related diseases to promote longer and healthier lives. Its lead candidate, GF-1002, delivers a centenarian variant of the SIRT6 gene, with a proof-of-concept trial in aged dogs underway and a planned clinical program targeting MASH, a prevalent chronic liver disease with limited treatment options.

Acuitas Therapeutics Collaborates on mRNA-LNP Prime
Editing Study for Genetic Liver Disease
Vancouver, B.C. – Acuitas Therapeutics today announced its collaboration on a landmark study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, titled “Treatment of a metabolic liver disease in mice with a transient prime editing approach,” which highlights the therapeutic potential of
lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-mediated mRNA delivery for prime editing in vivo. The study – co-authored by Acuitas scientists Ying Tam, Jennifer Moon, Paulo Lin, and Steven Fan, along with partners from the University of Zurich, ETH Zurich, and the University of Pennsylvania –presents a novel approach to correct a disease-causing mutation in a mouse model of phenylketonuria (PKU), an inherited metabolic liver disorder.
The research team used two distinct strategies for liver-targeted prime editing, both of which delivered the prime editor (PE) as nucleoside-modified mRNA encapsulated in Acuitas’ LNP.
In the first strategy, the guide RNA (pegRNA) was stably expressed from an adeno-associated virus while in the second, the pegRNA was delivered as synthetic RNAs using LNP delivery.
Using these approaches, they achieved up to 47.4% editing at the Dnmt1 locus and up to 20.7% correction of the pathogenic Pahenu2 mutation in PKU mice with the enhanced PE7 variant –successfully reducing blood phenylalanine concentrations below the therapeutic threshold of 360 µmol/L.
The transient nature of mRNA-LNP delivery allowed for high editing efficiency, while minimizing prolonged editor expression and the resultant potential off-target effects, which are concerns with viral delivery systems. These findings highlight the promise of non-viral, mRNA-LNP-based prime editing as a scalable and clinically relevant platform for treating monogenic liver diseases.
Excellent analysis as always Picked Peck, If it plays out as you have suggested, next week should get very interesting
Of course that's one read, there are other possibilities.
However the Acuitas partnership is the product of an evaluation process, not the start of it. Acuitas would never have partnered with a tiny biotech without good reason, their more normal partners are Tier 1 pharma giants like Pfizer or Astra Zeneca. The evaluation process, and the change in Acuitas messaging since, implies the process I outline below.
Once the SLAB trial data is announced, will prove to be far better than 'Loyal' treatment.
No, but I know a winner when I see one. This company is on the verge of greatness..
I remember a guy called Marty who had access to a time machine In the form of a DeLorean. You didn't happen to travel to 2028 to see the price of this share, did you? 😁😁🤣🤣

Yes PP, or even pet, work animals and food broken up into separate commercial pathways, as each requiring its own bespoke care package.
Porter,
That's an interesting take. I would have thought splitting animal health would be along species or domain lines rather than therapeutic area, for example equine Vs canine Vs feline or companion animals vs agricultural, or even geographic lines, Americas Vs Europe Vs Asia etc
There is no compelling logic why it wouldn't be by indication other than needing to research dosing techniques to isolate effects
Invwell,
I was going to add the would sneak out bad news with the final results and try and make a non event of it. Delay in this case can only be justified by good reasons.
Thanks all, my understanding is that Genflow won’t just be looking to commercialise the dog programme in 1 area, so there is the potential for multiple revenue streams and multiple deals agreed from the dog trials.
These could cover multiple licensing deals, such as:
- Life extension
- Food nutrition product ranges
- Sarcopenia
- Eye care
- Organ proactive care
- Organ reactive care
- Skin regeneration
That’s really helpful thanks
Pickedpeck, looking at the Acuitas website, it does seem they already have a strong history in mash and have run a few programmes. I’m wondering if they already know that Genflow’s SIRT6 works through other methods, but their clients don’t own the IP, so need it locked down? All looks super positive 🙏🏻
https://acuitastx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/March-2026-BD-PPT.pdf
😂 yes done that before, weird how you can’t edit posts on this forum, well that’s very exciting and I guess might encourage a licensing deal which would be massive news especially if it follows a deal on dog program 🤞 thank you for the clarification
Means I have fat thumbs and LSE doesn't have an edit function 🙄
Should have said big. Significant. Huge.
It would mean Acuitas have been doing NHP liver work for Genflow since they first chatted (indicated back in December) in order to be talking about it now. The implication is that the NHP validation of SIRT6 is finished not starting, which in turn makes an IND announcement for MASH likely a lot sooner, this year likely instead of possible.
Yip just googled the lady and referenced the presentation and that’s what it generated, what’s ng news mean?
Thanks Steg.

Marty - Yes in the end, but I suspect that is still a concern for next year rather than this one due to the tight control. No bid will progress unless Eric Leire backs it, and why would you sell early if you were him? The company may add an extra zero in IP value in the next twelve months.
And Genflow's Sirt6 Gene Therapy for Glaucoma could be hot hot hot, in the coming months. Gla ;-)
Bayer buys Perfuse in $2.4B deal for midphase eye disease prospect
May 6, 2026
Bayer has struck a deal to buy Perfuse Therapeutics for $300 million upfront. The buyout, which includes up to $2.15 billion in milestones, will give Bayer control of an eye disease implant that Perfuse linked to improved outcomes in a pair of phase 2 trials last year.
San Francisco-based Perfuse is focused on PER-001, an intravitreal implant that delivers an endothelin antagonist to the eye. Endothelin-1, a vasoconstrictor, is upregulated in glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. By blocking endothelin signaling, PER-001 could improve blood flow and prevent cell death in the retinas of patients with the eye diseases.
Bayer has identified the drug candidate as a good fit for its capabilities.

Great find pickedpeck, Genflow's cutting edge Sirt6 Gene Therapy combined with Acuitas's cutting edge delivery system must be on the radar of just about every Major, and only a matter of time before they show their hand. Exciting times!!! Gl :')
Ps Genflow must be of great interest to Madrigal, who continue on their buying spree in the MASH space.

Do you mean bidding for the whole stock?
A significant and relevant piece of research was published in February this year, which has been gaining traction in the longevity community because it provides the molecular roadmap for exactly what Genflow is attempting with their SIRT6 platform.
Paper Title: "Bidirectional regulation between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and sarcopenia via liver-muscle crosstalk"
Published in the Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology (Released February 11, 2026).
This study effectively proves that MASH (MASLD) and Sarcopenia are not two separate diseases, but a single pathological loop. This is a massive NAV lifter for Genflow because it validates the strategy of using one payload (SIRT6) to treat both conditions.
Key Findings:
The researchers used Mendelian randomization to prove that diminished muscle mass increases the risk of liver disease (MASLD), and hepatic fibrosis, in turn, accelerates muscle wasting. The paper identified specific signaling molecules (myokines and hepatokines) that travel between the two organs. Specifically, it identified CCL2 (a myokine from muscle) as a driver of liver disease and Adrenomedullin (a hepatokine from the liver) as a trigger for sarcopenia.
The "SIRT6-Shaped Hole": While the paper focuses on these mediators, it highlights that epigenetic metabolic homeostasis is the broken regulator in both tissues. This is where Genflow’s SIRT6 comes in — it acts as the "Master Regulator" that can reset the metabolic balance in both the liver (stopping the MASH) and the muscle (stopping the Sarcopenia).
This paper validates the Acuitas Partnership, systemic delivery (LNP) of SIRT6 is needed to hit the liver, while other options work for the muscle. This paper proves you must address both to truly cure either.
By identifying muscle as an endocrine organ that talks to the liver, this paper makes Genflow’s Endocrine Uplift (Claim 25) patent application look incredibly prescient.
For the FDA, showing that your drug targets a proven bidirectional axis is far more compelling than just targeting a single symptom. It suggests a higher probability of clinical success.
Genflow isn't just guessing that SIRT6 helps both; the broader scientific community has just spent the first part of 2026 proving that the liver and muscle are essentially a single therapeutic target.
This validation is likely to mean the ultimate bidding war for Genflow will be a lot more expensive for a Tier-1.

I’ve seen a few articles about competition in the SIRT6/Glaucoma space following recent academic publications (e.g., the SPAM1 activator study). Interestingly this isn't a threat, it’s effective de-risking.
Here is why recent SIRT6 eye research is actually a massive "Buy" signal for Genflow:
1. "Target Validation" is the First Step to a Deal
Big Pharma doesn't buy ideas; they buy validated targets. Independent studies (like the 2024–2026 UTMB research) have now proven that deleting SIRT6 causes optic nerve degeneration, while overexpressing it prevents it. This "Independent Audit" of the science makes the Genflow SIRT6 platform a 'Must-Have' for any Tier-1 looking to enter the glaucoma space.
2. Gene Therapy vs. Small Molecules (The Winner Takes All)
The competitive research (like SPAM1) is mostly focused on small molecule activators.
Small molecules require daily dosing, have systemic side effects, and often lack the punch needed for true neuroprotection.
The Genflow SIRT6 variant is a permanent, cell-specific reboot of the RGCs. Pharma much prefers a long-term curative asset over a daily drop that patients eventually stop taking.
3. The Patent Barrier
Genflow holds the exclusive global license for the core centenarian SIRT6 variant (originally filed by Rochester/Columbia). Any competitor trying to use a high-efficiency SIRT6 gene for glaucoma has to run directly into Genflow’s patent wall. Research into activators only increases the value of the underlying gene that Genflow owns.
4. The Acuitas Multiplier
The Acuitas partnership gives Genflow the world’s best delivery system (LNP/mRNA). While academics are still using older AAV vectors, Genflow is positioning itself to use the most advanced, scalable delivery tech available.
5. The AAO Conference "Shop Window"
By the time Eric Leire presents at the AAO in October, the scientific community will have already reached a consensus: SIRT6 is the key to stopping glaucoma. Genflow won't have to explain why SIRT6 matters; they only have to explain how their patented variant and Acuitas delivery are the best commercial solutions.
Bottom Line: Recent research proves the "Lock" (SIRT6) is real. Genflow owns the best "Key" (Centenarian Variant + Acuitas).
Again, this research is driving the ultimate deal price up.
