Cellular Therapy to Repair, Regenerate and Restore
Developing therapeutics derived from cells within our own body whose function is to repair and regenerate tissue at the site of damage, inflammation and disease.

Conducting Phase 1 & 2 clinical trials in life-threatening conditions that affect tens of millions of people worldwide.
As we age, our endogenous repair mechanisms become less effective, leading to chronic disease and poor health. Longeveron is a leader in research aimed at improving healthspan.
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for aging-related and life-threatening conditions. Through patient-focused, regenerative medicine, our research and therapies are aimed at improving healthspan.
The number of years a person is expected to live in relatively good health, free of chronic disease and disabilities of aging; The function and ability to do activities of daily living.
“Longevity is increasing. There is heightened focus on living longer, but that comes at a cost. A key goal within the medical community is to enhance the quality of life during the aging process – to improve healthspan.
At Longeveron, we hypothesize that stem cells might reduce the difficulties associated with aging and offer improved quality of life for patients with life-threatening conditions.”

HLHS is a congenital birth defect in which the left ventricle (one of the pumping chambers of the heart) is either severely underdeveloped or missing. As a consequence, babies born with this condition have severely diminished systemic blood flow, which requires children to undergo a complex, three stage heart reconstruction surgery process over the course of the first 5 years of their lives. We are testing the ability for cell therapy to improve cardiac function in these children.

Alzheimer’s disease, which affects over 5 million Americans, is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to progressive memory loss and death. There are few drugs available for treating Alzheimer’s disease, and none that affect the long-term progression of the disease. Longeveron has partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association to advance clinical research using a cell therapy approach to treating this devastating disease.

Can we extend the period of time that we live in relatively good health, free of chronic disease, dependence and disability, a period known as “healthspan”? Individuals with Aging Frailty are at higher risk for adverse health outcomes such as falls, fractures, loss of independence, susceptibility to infection, institutionalization, hospitalization and death. At Longeveron, we are leading the efforts to develop a regenerative medicine approach for intervention and treatment of Aging Frailty.
