    4 Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and CAP - 1002 — DMD is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive and debilitating muscle weakness ▪ Results from a lack of functional dystrophin ▪ Affects cardiac muscle and all skeletal muscle ▪ Muscle cell death due to increased fragility ▪ Capacity of mu

    5 About CAP - 1002 (allogenic cardiosphere - derived cells) — CAP - 1002 is a cardiac progenitor cell therapeutic candidate ▪ CDCs have been shown to lead to scar regression and generate functional cardiac muscle — Mechanisms of action of CAP - 1002: ▪ A nti - inflammatory, anti - fibrotic , and ant

  6. Slide 6: CAP-1002 Mechanism of Action via Exosomes

    6 CAP - 1002: Mechanism of Action via Exosomes ▪ Cells release exosomes – particles comprised of RNAs and proteins ▪ Exosomes act on target cells to epigenetically alter gene expression ▪ Exosomes isolated from CDCs recapitulate their actions
