TORONTO, December 02, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Satellos Bioscience Inc. (TSX:MSCL, OTCQB:MSCLF) ("Satellos" or the "Company"), a public biotech company developing new small molecule therapeutic approaches to improve the treatment of muscle diseases and disorders, today announced participation in a live investor webinar (the "Webinar") focused on a discussion of Duchenne muscular dystrophy ("DMD") by Key Opinion Leaders ("KOLs") in the space.
The live event, hosted by PropThink Digital Conferences (the "Host"), will take place on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, at 2:00 pm ET, and focus on three crucial topics:
1. The persistent need for new approaches to the treatment of DMD that can potentially provide added functional benefit for patients;
2. How patients navigate the current clinical trial and drug development landscape in DMD; and
3. Why the Company's novel, small molecule approach, focused on muscle regeneration, unlocks a new understanding of DMD disease progression and provides a novel therapeutic approach for addressing it.
Key Opinion Leaders Presenting
Elijah Stacy, a DMD patient, author, patient advocate, industry consultant, and Founder of non-profit Destroy Duchenne will join Dr. Michael Rudnicki, a world thought-leader on muscle stem cell function & regeneration, the Scientific Founder of Satellos, and the Director of Regenerative Medicine at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and Satellos’ CMO Dr. Jordan Dubow, a renowned neurologist with an extensive regulatory and clinical-development track-record including at AbbVie/Abbott (NASDAQ: ABBV), Cynapsus Therapeutics (acquired by Sunovion for $624 million in 2016), Lexeo Therapeutics (NASDAQ: LXEO), and as President of Clintrex.

About Satellos Bioscience Inc.
Satellos is a clinical-stage drug development company dedicated to developing life-improving medicines to treat degenerative muscle diseases. Satellos has invented SAT-3247 as a first-of-its-kind, orally administered small molecule drug designed to restore skeletal muscle regeneration initially in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Satellos has generated a significant body of preclinical evidence in DMD to support that correcting muscle stem cell polarity with SAT-3247 has the potential to restore skeletal muscle regeneration to repair and strengthen muscle that has been damaged. The Company’s lead drug candidate SAT-3247 is currently in clinical development as a potential disease-modifying treatment DMD. Additionally, Satellos is leveraging its breakthrough research in muscle stem cell polarity and proprietary discovery platform MyoReGenX™, to identify degenerative muscle diseases where deficits in muscle regeneration occur that are amenable to therapeutic intervention for future clinical development.
