New preclinical findings highlight Telomir-1’s ability to reverse CDKN2A gene silencing by DNA methylation, reactivating this gene – often called the body’s natural “cell cycle brake.” These results build on prior STAT1 data, supporting Telomir-1’s profile as a potential first-in-class broad-spectrum DNA methylation reset therapy.

MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:TELO), a preclinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies that target the root causes of biological aging, cancer, and age-related diseases, today announced new preclinical cancer data showing that Telomir-1 reverses DNA methylation of CDKN2A, a master tumor suppressor gene silenced in many aggressive cancers.

Reactivating Cancer’s Brakes
CDKN2A is one of the body’s most important natural defenses against cancer. Often called the “cell cycle brake,” this gene tells cells when to stop dividing and helps damaged cells self-destruct. In many cancers, CDKN2A is switched off by abnormal DNA methylation, leaving tumors free to grow unchecked. By resetting this methylation, Telomir-1 appears to turn the brake back on – restoring a critical safeguard that cancer cells had disabled.

Why DNA Methylation Matters
DNA methylation is a key epigenetic process that controls whether genes are switched on or off. In healthy cells, methylation helps regulate normal development and repair. In cancer, however, abnormal DNA methylation can silence critical tumor suppressor genes like CDKN2A and STAT1, allowing tumors to grow unchecked and evade the immune system. Similarly, widespread changes in DNA methylation patterns are recognized as one of the hallmarks of aging, contributing to the loss of cellular function and the onset of age-related diseases.

By demonstrating the ability to reduce DNA methylation of these important targets, Telomir-1 is showing potential to directly address these fundamental biological processes. This positions Telomir-1 not only as a novel oncology candidate, but also as a potential first-in-class longevity drug candidate targeting the root causes of aging and disease.

In aggressive human prostate cancer cell models (PC3 xenografts), Telomir-1 inhibited CDKN2A DNA methylation more effectively than both Rapamycin and chemotherapy. These results complement Telomir’s previously reported data showing that Telomir-1 also resets STAT1, a master regulator of immune surveillance. Together, these findings suggest that Telomir-1 may broadly reverse cancer-induced silencing of key tumor suppressors – tackling two of cancer’s most fundamental escape mechanisms: unchecked growth and immune evasion.

CEO Perspective
“This new evidence reinforces Telomir-1’s potential as a first-in-class longevity drug candidate that addresses the root causes of aging and age-related diseases through its ability to reset abnormal DNA methylation patterns,” said Erez Aminov, Chief Executive Officer of Telomir. “By demonstrating that Telomir-1 can reverse cancer-induced gene silencing in tumor suppressors such as CDKN2A and STAT1, we are beginning to show how epigenetic reprogramming may restore fundamental cellular functions that are disrupted in both cancer and aging.”

Scientific Perspective
“These findings are highly significant,” said Dr. Itzchak Angel, Chief Scientific Advisor at Telomir. “By simultaneously reactivating STAT1 and CDKN2A, Telomir-1 demonstrates the ability to reset epigenetic silencing across multiple tumor suppressor pathways. This dual restoration of both immune surveillance and cell cycle control represents a powerful mechanistic advance in cancer epigenetics and provides a compelling rationale for further translational development.”

Advancing Toward the Clinic
Telomir is actively assessing Telomir-1 across multiple aggressive cancers beyond prostate, with additional studies underway. The company’s pre-IND program is running in full gear, with CMC activities scaling up toward GMP production and IND-enabling studies ongoing as Telomir moves toward its first IND submission.

– Gemini normalized the inflammatory response at the cellular level in stage 3 and 4 CKD patients –

– Gemini could potentially revolutionize the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory disease –

Data discussion webcast/conference call will be held on Wednesday, September 10^th at 8:30 am Eastern Time

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:REVB) (the “Company” or “Revelation”), a clinical-stage life sciences company focused on rebalancing inflammation, today announced positive safety and activity data for its Phase 1b PRIME clinical study in stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The primary endpoint to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of Gemini was met.

More importantly, Gemini significantly reduced inflammatory activity and restored normal cellular response to stimuli as measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from patients at predose, 2, 24, and 168 hours post-dose, demonstrating Gemini’s ability to durably rebalance the inflammatory process at the cellular level. Revelation will host a corporate update webcast/conference call on Wednesday, September 10^th at 8:30 am Eastern Time to review this top-line data and the potential impact of the use of Gemini for the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

“The activity observed with a single dose of Gemini in patients is shocking,” said Principal Investigator Adam Horeish, MD, Balboa Research. “This effect suggests a meaningful step forward in addressing the underlying immune dysregulation observed in patients with chronic kidney disease, and I am intrigued by the potential of Gemini to treat multiple types of acute and chronic inflammation.”

“The results from this Phase 1b study represent a possible breakthrough in the treatment of inflammation,” said Principal Investigator Pablo Pergola, MD, PhD,Research Director at Clinical Advancement Center, PLLC. “By addressing the inflammatory component of CKD, we may be able to improve patient outcomes and bring meaningful benefit to those living with this challenging condition. We look forward to working with the Revelation team to advance Gemini as a potential treatment for CKD.”

“The clear results from the PRIME study demonstrate the power of Gemini to elicit trained immunity,” said Julia K. Bohannon, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center. “It is highly validating to see results consistent with the findings from our animal studies, as I would have expected. The strength of the effect of a single dose reinforces my confidence in the potential of Gemini as a promising treatment for burn patients.”

The PRIME study enrolled 40 patients from 32 to 78 years of age, at 3 US clinics located in San Diego and San Antonio, specializing in the care of patients with CKD. A total of 5 cohorts (8 patients per cohort, 6 treated/2 placebo) at 4 dose levels were enrolled: a subtherapeutic dose, a low dose, the target dose (cohorts 3 and 4), and a high dose – an extension protocol was conducted to collect additional PBMC and biomarker samples in 8 Gemini naive or secondary naive patients. The primary endpoint was evaluation of safety.

In addition to safety measures, patient PBMCs were isolated predose and at 2, 24, and 168 hours post-dose. PBMCs were analyzed ex vivo for background inflammation by measurement of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-1RA. Cells were also assessed for response to stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, also known as endotoxin) or high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1). Subgroup analysis divided patients into two categories, those with PBMCs of minimal background inflammation activity (£40 pg/mL IL-1β) and normal response to stimuli, and those with significant background inflammation activity (>40 pg/mL IL-1β) and no response to stimuli. Approximately 50% of patients were in each group.

In patients with high background PBMC activity, Gemini significantly reduced inflammation relative to placebo patient PBMCs post dose (IL-1β: p0.01; TNF-α: p=0.05; IL-6: p0.01; IL-10: p0.01; IL-1RA: p0.001) and remained significantly below their baseline value through 7 days. Background inflammation was reduced to levels comparable to PBMCs isolated from healthy subjects.

Additionally, Gemini was able to demonstrate correction of the immunoparalysis typical to chronic disease. Gemini significantly increased the responsiveness to LPS stimulation in high background patient PBMCs relative to placebo at all timepoints (IL-1β: p0.0001; TNF-α: p0.002; IL-6: p0.0002; IL-10: p=0.09; IL-1RA: p0.01). Gemini also significantly increased the responsiveness of patient PBMCs with high background vs placebo patient PBMCs with high background at all time-points to HMGB1 stimulation (IL-1β: p0.05; TNF-α: p0.01; IL-6: p0.01; IL-10: p0.05; IL-1RA: p0.002). The increased responsiveness was comparable to PBMCs isolated from healthy subjects. These results show the ability of Gemini to restore normal cell function, even as far as one week after a single dose.

For the low background patients, as expected, Gemini does not increase inflammatory activity. Additional analysis on the effect of LPS or HMGB-1 stimulation is ongoing.

Gemini administration was well-tolerated at the target dose (established as the maximum tolerated dose in healthy volunteers) with all events reported as mild (Grade I). Adverse events observed at the target dose included transient headache, chills, loose stool, and body aches. Three adverse events at the highest dose (above the target dose) were reported as severe (Grade III), and included chills, nausea and vomiting, all resolving in 3 hours or less. Other reported events were either mild (Grade I) or moderate (Grade II). All events corresponded with the previous healthy volunteer study, as well as with preclinical findings, and are consistent with the expected pharmacology of the drug. No serious adverse events were reported. Gemini administration did not result in clinically significant trends in clinical safety blood or urinalysis parameters (aside from expected immune cell mobilization). There were no clinically significant changes or trends in vital sign parameters or ECG assessments following administration of Gemini.

“The results of the PRIME study demonstrate the potential of Gemini to be a game-changer in the treatment of acute and chronic inflammation,” said James Rolke, Chief Executive Officer of Revelation. “We look forward to our scheduled End of Phase 1 meeting with the FDA later this year to discuss the advancement of this exciting program.”

About CKD

Chronic kidney disease is a pervasive problem in the United States and world-wide. CKD is due to chronic inflammation and can be initiated and propagated in several ways. One prevalent condition is the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes (either Type 1 or Type 2). High blood sugar is toxic to kidney cells creating stress which imitates the inflammatory process leading to the demise of these cells with subsequent fibrosis, ultimately resulting in continuous loss of kidney function over time. High arterial blood pressure is another source of stress that initiates the inflammatory process leading to CKD. Other risk factors include heart disease, obesity, family history of CKD, or advanced age. Progression of chronic kidney damage often leads to end stage renal disease with the need for renal replacement therapy (dialysis or transplantation), resulting in significant morbidity and mortality for affected patients. Kidney disease is a leading cause of death in the United States.

In an historic moment for regional solidarity and leadership, West African Ministers of Health pledge their joint commitment to advance the development of, and readiness for, much-needed vaccines against Lassa fever in recognition of the significant threat to regional health security posed by the disease.

ABIDJAN, CI / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / On September 8, 2025, Ministers of Health from across the region gathered for high-level talks convened by the West African Health Organisation (WAHO) and Dr. Muhammad Ali Pate, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare of Nigeria, as co-leads of the Lassa fever Vaccine Coalition, and Mr. Pierre N’Gou Dimba, Minister of Health, Public Hygiene and Universal Health Coverage of the ​Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, as host of the Lassa fever International Conference in Abidjan. The meeting was supported by global pandemic preparedness institution, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI), a non-profit scientific research organisation. The Ministers of Health endorsed a communiqué that reinforces the region’s shared leadership in confronting a virus that is endemic to West Africa and causes significant health, economic and societal harm.

Despite its devastating impact, there are currently no licensed vaccines to protect against Lassa fever. The most advanced Lassa fever vaccine candidate has been developed by IAVI with funding from CEPI and the European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership. IAVI’s promising vaccine candidate is currently being evaluated in a Phase IIa clinical trial to evaluate the vaccine’s safety and immunogenicity in Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria – the most advanced study of a Lassa fever vaccine to take place anywhere in the world.

Through the communiqué, the Ministers reaffirmed their political endorsement of accelerating Lassa fever vaccine readiness as a regional strategic health priority and a cornerstone of pandemic preparedness, underscoring its dual role in strengthening national systems and collective resilience. They recognised that Lassa fever could serve as a model towards broader integration and coordination of financing efforts. They committed to supporting the development of IAVI’s Lassa vaccine candidate rVSVΔG-LASV-GPC^[1] through a collaborative co-funding approach and joint action to mobilise and secure resources through advocacy and regional coordination. They pledged to strengthen country and regional platforms to ensure that clinical trial sites, laboratories, regulatory authorities and community engagement efforts across West Africa are ready to enable the late-stage clinical research needed to advance a Lassa fever vaccine to licensure and to bolster the region’s response to other epidemic and pandemic disease threats.

Dr. Muhammad Ali Pate, Coordinating Minister for Health and Social Welfare of Federal, Republic of Nigeria, said: “For decades, Lassa fever has silently taken lives, eroded livelihoods, and tested the resilience of our health systems. Here in Abidjan, West Africa is showing a new path: countries uniting not only to call for a vaccine, but to co-finance and prepare the systems that will make it real. In Nigeria, through the Health Sector Renewal Initiative, we are investing in laboratories, surveillance, and regulatory readiness – efforts that complement and strengthen regional solidarity. What we commit to today is bigger than one disease; it is a statement that Africa can mobilise its science, align its financing, and contribute decisively to global preparedness. If we hold this course, the legacy will be measured in lives protected and in a continent that helped safeguard the world from the pandemics of tomorrow.”

Dr. Melchior Athanase J. C. Aissi, Director General of WAHO, said:”WAHO is proud to convene and coordinate this landmark commitment. ECOWAS Ministers have agreed not just to endorse a vaccine, but to co-finance it together – showing that West Africa is ready to lead on solutions to Lassa fever and pandemic threats. Regional solidarity is our greatest asset, and WAHO will continue to drive this united approach.”

Dr. Richard Hatchett, CEO of CEPI, said: “The prospect of protection against this dreadful disease is closer than ever before. CEPI is committed to working in close partnership with West African leaders to bolster regional health security by advancing the licensure of the first ever Lassa vaccine and strengthening the region’s capabilities to respond to other epidemic or pandemic threats.”

Dr. Mark Feinberg, IAVI President and CEO, said: “We welcome this unprecedented opportunity to advance IAVI’s promising Lassa fever vaccine candidate in close partnership with West African governments, Institut Pasteur de Dakar – a regionally based manufacturer – and regional scientific and public health leaders. By signing this communiqué, we are not just one step closer to an affordable and accessible Lassa vaccine; we are building a global health partnership that can provide a new model to advance the development, and to ensure sustainable and affordable supply of, vaccines targeting diseases where there is no commercial incentive for private, for-profit companies to invest.”

Signatories of the communiqué include Ministers of Health or their representatives from the Republic of Benin, Republic of Cabo Verde, Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, Republic of Ghana, Republic of Guinea-Bissau, Republic of the Gambia, Republic of Liberia, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Republic of Senegal, Republic of Sierra Leone and the Togolese Republic.

As next steps, the Ministers agreed to coordinate with countries to ensure capabilities are in place to support late-stage vaccine development and to refine the regional financing approach. In support of the latter, WAHO, CEPI and IAVI will convene a working group of countries to align on resource mobilisation.

Hundreds of thousands of people in West Africa are estimated to be affected by Lassa fever each year, with the disease causing almost 4,000 deaths and $110 million in productivity losses in the region annually. Symptoms range from mild headache to vomiting, swelling and widespread bleeding which can be fatal. In those that recover, hearing loss is commonly reported. The potential impact of the disease is set to worsen, with modelling research predicting up to 600 million people could be at risk of Lassa fever infection by 2050 as a result of climate change and population growth.

The 2^nd Lassa fever International Conference runs from 8-11 September 2025, under the theme “Beyond Borders: Strengthening Regional Cooperation to Combat Lassa Fever and Emerging Infectious Diseases”. The landmark event brings together scientists, public health experts, vaccine developers, policymakers, civil society and regional stakeholders to share insights, review progress and forge new partnerships aimed at accelerating vaccine development and strengthening Lassa fever control efforts.

The integrations enable media organizations to automate critical workflows, scale operations on demand, and connect cloud and on-premises environments with precision. Telestream will demonstrate these integrations alongside its AI enhancements, Global Ingest, and Measurement capabilities at IBC2025, Stand 7.B21.

“Increasingly, our customers need open, scalable workflows that meet them where they are, whether that’s on-prem, in the cloud, or both,” said Charlie Dunn, Executive Vice President of Products at Telestream. “By integrating with these future-ready platforms, we’re delivering a cohesive path to automation and interoperability that improves speed, quality, and visibility across the entire media lifecycle.”

These integrations strengthen Telestream’s Global Ingest strategy, unifying live, camera card, and file-based ingest into one intelligent pipeline enriched with structured metadata, accelerating collaboration, improving searchability, and ensuring content flows seamlessly across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid operations.

Vantage + Mimir: Modern, cloud-based media asset management

Vantage and Mimir together enhance cloud-native media management for news, sports, and enterprise content operations by automating processing within Mimir’s AI-powered, browser-based platform. When content enters a Mimir input bucket via live ingest, upload, or another workflow, Vantage will automatically run ingest, QC, and metadata creation in the background. This enables editors and producers to access, search, and work with media in near real-time without manual delays.

Ideal for live-to-VOD workflows, the integration ensures content is processed, indexed, and ready for creative use quickly and accurately, supporting fast-turn, distributed production environments and bridging the gap between technical processing and editorial decision-making.

The Vantage integration with Iconik supports hybrid workflows that unify local and cloud storage in a single searchable environment. Triggered by folder placement or metadata, Vantage can handle ingest, proxy creation, QC, and push processed assets back to Iconik for review and distribution. This allows decentralized teams to collaborate in real time without duplicating effort or moving large files unnecessarily.

The Iconik integration also supports growing media workflows, enabling editors to work in Adobe Premiere Pro with content as it’s being captured, while Vantage mirrors originals to the cloud for remote access. This hybrid, cloud-connected approach reduces complexity, speeds turnaround, and supports scalable, metadata-driven workflows, ideal for distributed teams, remote post-production, and high-volume environments.

A seamless integration between Skylog and Vantage transforms live ingest and media indexation. Operators can enrich growing files in real time with manual or automated metadata, ensuring every key moment is captured with precision. Through an intuitive, web-based interface with AI assistance, operators can tag, annotate, organize, and rate content as it happens. From a three-pointer in basketball to a pivotal reality-show reveal, enriched, timecode-linked metadata travels seamlessly through the workflow.

This collaboration unites Skylog’s strengths in live and file logging, clipping, and AI-powered indexation with Vantage’s industry-leading transcoding and workflow automation. For sports and entertainment organizations, the result is clear: reduced manual processes, lower production costs, and accelerated turnaround times for editing processes, highlights, and archive enrichment. With Skylog x Vantage, broadcasters gain the agility to scale remote and on-premises workflows.

Powering Modern Media Creation Through Interoperability

Media companies are rapidly adopting modern media workflows that can be deployed across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. Managing ingest, transcoding, metadata, QC, and delivery across multiple systems is complex, but integrations with platforms like Mimir, Iconik, Embrace, and Broadteam bring new agility.

These browser-based solutions enable creative teams to work from anywhere, while Telestream Vantage delivers proven, trusted, and reliable media processing behind the scenes. Together, they streamline every stage of the pipeline, reducing manual effort, accelerating turnaround, and ensuring high-quality content reaches audiences quickly and efficiently. Early adopters are using the integrations to turn around highlights packages in minutes, centralize QC for multi-market delivery, and streamline remote collaboration for globally distributed editorial teams.

These integrations are available today to joint customers. Media organizations can explore deployment options that align with their existing infrastructure, security requirements, and growth plans.

Advancing Standards for Interoperability: Telestream Adopts EBU DMF Protocol
