Poster session at Obesity Week 2025 by Resalis Therapeutics

EXADEX-INNOV is excited to announce that Resalis Therapeutics will present preclinical translational data at Obesity Week 2025, including results obtained on our human adipose tissue models

 

Novel Therapy: Targeting miR-22 for Energy Expenditure

The poster showcases RES-010, a novel antisense oligonucleotide developed by Resalis Therapeutics to inhibit miR-22, an important post-transcriptional regulator of metabolic pathways in adipose tissue.

In multiple preclinical models—including our ExAdEx human 3D adipose tissue models derived from relevant donor profiles—miR-22 inhibition resulted in the activation of mitochondrial function and browning of white adipose tissue (WAT), supporting a new paradigm in obesity therapy focused on increasing energy expenditure rather than suppressing appetite.

We provided highly clinically relevant 3D human adipose tissue models, derived from donors with obesity, enabling direct validation of RES-010’s efficacy in translationally relevant human systems. These ex vivo tissue models revealed robust mitochondrial activation, enhanced oxygen consumption, and induction of key markers associated to browning and thermogenesis and (UCP1, TOMM20) following miR-22 targeting.

This research underscores the power of combining cutting-edge RNA therapeutics with proprietary human tissue-based technologies to accelerate clinically meaningful obesity solutions.
