Second study with Mitobene shows promising results (May 2023)
Cerefort has developed a beverage called Mitobene, which is made from grains using a patented fermentation process and has a high D-lactate content. After a first study at the beginning of 2021, another study was conducted at the end of 2022. Several persons took 100 ml of Mitobene daily over a period of 1 month. This study showed that Mitobene has a positive influence on physical performance.

Aquarray's DMA technology opens the door to new paths in personalised medicine (May 2023)
Aquarray's DMA technology opens the door to new paths in personalised medicine. Due to the extreme miniaturisation of the test volumes, a few cells from biopsy material are sufficient to test the efficacy of various drugs in parallel on the patient's own cells. This makes possible a patient-specific therapy of cancer by selecting the most effective drug therapy.

Nanolockin develops new air quality monitoring technology to measure ultrafine particles (April 2023)
NanoLockin has developed a new method based on lockin thermography to measure particles. This involves heating the particles with light and analyzing the heat. Compared to existing particle measuring devices, this basic physical principle of adsorption instead of light scattering can specifically detect combustion products, such as soot particles.

Aquarray launches the DMA Plate and develops the Integrated Screening System (March 2023)
Aquarray GmbH, Leopoldshafen, has been marketing the Droplet Microarray, or DMA for short, for 2 years. The DMA can be used manually as a slide, like the microtiter plate, or as a DMA plate in an automated environment. Currently, the Integrated Screening System (ISS) is being
Postitive effect on Mitochondria in the first exploratory pilot study of Cerefort (April 2023)
The participants received a defined daily doses of Mitobene with high D-lactate content. Blood was collected before and at the end of the study. Parameters of mitochondrial activity, like the Bioenergetic Health Index (BHI), were measured by the German diagnostic laboratory Biovis in Marburg. After 6 weeks of Mitobene intake, the BHI index improved and so did important parameters of mitochondrial activity, especially of the Parkinson’s patients.

The development of the AirTox Monitor within NanoLockin will be funded by a Eurostars project (May 2021)
Nanolockin will develop the AirTox Monitor together with a partner in Germany. This device will be able to characterise particulate matter, which is an immense problem for public health, much better than existing devices. The development work will be funded within a Eurostars project
Foundation of the Swiss Institute of Longevity to support startup activities in this area (May 2021)
The Swiss Institute of Longevity was founded on 9th May 2021, to support early-stage start-up activities in the field of longevity. The core element is a network of scientists and experienced entrepreneurs who evaluate potential projects. After a positive evaluation, they support the start-ups, on a case-by-case basis, financially and operationally with their work and network.
