Exciting times ahead for gene therapy programs, including ARVC, as LEXEO becomes one of the small number of companies that goes public!! #genetherapy #ARVC #NASDAQ 💪🎉🚀

So 👇 happened in Times Square yesterday!! Moving from bench to bedside to Wallstreet 🤯! Grateful to LEXEO in moving cardiac (ARVC) ❤️ precision based gene therapies forward!! 💪🗽#ARVC #NASDAQ

ICYMI: Farah Sheikh highlighted that in a mouse model of late-stage #ArrhythmogenicCardiomyopathy, mice who received LEXEO's gene therapy had substantially longer survival than mice who did not receive the #genetherapy. #AHA23 #AHA2023 Watch: cgtlive.com/view/farah-she…

🔬 Experiments detailed in this study by the Farah Sheikh suggest that AAV-PKP2 gene therapy holds promise for circumventing ARVC associated with PKP2 mutations, including splice site 📍 mutations. Nature Communications | go.nature.com/41bmJgK

📢 Exciting news on our paper in Nature Cardiovascular Research today introducing a promising gene therapy for human PKP2 cardiomyopathy, developed with a novel mouse model. Grateful to Silvia Priori for her insightful Editorial! #genetherapy #ARVC doi.org/10.1038/s44161…

Out now in Nature Cardiovascular Research, Farah Sheikh and colleagues introduce a promising new #GeneTherapy for arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, a rare disease that can cause #heart failure. 🫀 #HeartDisease Learn more about the breakthrough research: nature.com/articles/s4416…
