TreeFrog Therapeutics Presents Delivery Strategy for Next Generation 3D Cell Therapy Format for Parkinson’s Disease at the 28th Annual ASGCT Meeting in New Orleans13.5.2025 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
TreeFrog Therapeutics, a French biotech specializing in cell therapy is the first company to present a clinical-ready delivery strategy for 3D microtissues cell therapy. The validated approach was demonstrated for their 3D neural microtissues cell therapy treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease. It is a progressive disease characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons with a mix of motor symptoms (bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremor) and non-motor symptoms (cognitive deficits, mood disorders, fatigue). Current treatments provide symptomatic relief only. There is a huge unmet need with a prevalence that has doubled in the last 25 years to an estimated 10 million sufferers, and it is expected to double again by 20501,2.
