The DNA methylation dataset assessed the extent of DNA methylation on roughly 965,000 individual sites where methyl groups can be attached to the patients’ DNA.

Key Points: 
  • The DNA methylation dataset assessed the extent of DNA methylation on roughly 965,000 individual sites where methyl groups can be attached to the patients’ DNA.
  • But these data provide evidence that bezisterim may have the potential to help keep people healthier for a longer time as we age,” said Cuong Do, BioVie’s President and CEO.
  • “BioVie believes that DNA methylation may not need to constantly increase as we age, and thus the progression of age-related disease may not be uni-directional.
  • This suggests that bezisterim disrupted the negative consequences of DNA methylation that promotes inflammation and restored homeostasis.
