SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jaya Biosciences, Inc. (“JayaBio” or “the Company”), a privately held early-stage life-sciences company developing CNS-directed gene therapies to address unmet needs in genetically defined neurodegeneration, reported non-clinical data at the 20th Annual WORLDSymposium™, a leading research conference on lysosomal diseases. During a late-breaking news platform presentation, Jaya Biosciences’ scientific founder, Prof. Mark Sands, reported preliminary human genetic analysis suggesting that heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in lysosomal enzyme genes are enriched in Alzheimer’s patients, as well as preclinical efficacy results in the animal model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) for JB111, the Company’s lead therapy.

Key Points: 
  • “We are thrilled to showcase a new paradigm for the treatment of genetically defined neurodegeneration at the 20th WORLDSymposium™,” said Pawel Krysiak, President and CEO of JayaBio.
  • “The preclinical data we presented demonstrate a tremendous promise of targeting PPT1 haploinsufficiency in Alzheimer’s disease.
  • Heterozygosity of five different lysosomal enzyme genes (PPT1, NAGLU, GALC, IDUA, GUSB) significantly affects amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and favors pro-amyloidogenic pathway.
  • CNS-directed, AAV-mediated gene therapy significantly increases the life span and improves cognitive function of 5xFAD/PPT1+/- mice.
