MicroQuin

World Cancer Day is a reminder of the urgent need for innovation in the fight against a disease that almost HALF of us will be diagnosed with at some point in their life. At MicroQuin, we are on a mission to transform the standard of care across ALL cancers by targeting what truly could be the weakness to this disease. Its very nature induces an extremely toxic internal environment, which needs constantly regulating to keep the cancer alive. Our breakthrough therapies focus on disrupting that regulation. By addressing cancer at its core, we firmly believe we can radically improve patient outcomes, extend lives, and enhance quality of life for patients worldwide. The fight against cancer isn’t just about new treatments—it’s about redefining what’s possible. Join us as we push the boundaries of science to create a future where cancer is no longer a devastating diagnosis but a challenge that can be overcome. #WorldCancerDay #MicroQuin #CancerResearch #Innovation #HopeForACure

Cooking dinner? You create waste—packaging, scraps, dirty dishes. Manageable, right? Now imagine cooking and eating non-stop. Overflowing bins, dirty utensils, and a toxic environment. You’d need help fast. That’s cancer’s dilemma. Constant growth creates stress and waste, making the ENVIRONMENT toxic. Helpers like TMBIM6 step in during tough times to manage the chaos and keep things going. At MicroQuin, we target these helpers to disrupt cancer's survival strategies. It’s not just survival—it’s managing the unmanageable. Check out our Nature paper and video to see how we’re reshaping the fight against cancer. #CancerResearch #Biotech #Innovation #drugdiscovery #cancer #startup

Together, we’re proving that the sky is not the limit—it's just the beginning. 🔗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/e_gakTER Let’s keep reaching for the stars. 🌌 Together, we can achieve the extraordinary. #MicroQuin #NASA #ISS #CancerResearch #SpaceMedicine #Innovation #HealthcareTransformation

🔬 MicroQuin’s Breakthrough in Viral Treatment through TMBIM6 Research MicroQuin's mission is to pioneer transformative therapies by targeting cellular processes. Our latest research on TMBIM6 (formerly Bax Inhibitor-1) highlights its groundbreaking ability to regulate the intracellular environment (ICE) in response to stress, injury, and disease. What makes this discovery exciting? Viruses are essentially 'squatters' in the cell. Once inside, they hijack the cell to create the right IntraCellular Environment (ICE) so they can replicate and spread. What if you stop that from happening? ICE regulators, such as TMBIM6, can neutralize viral threats by stopping them hijacking the cell, while also protecting healthy cells. This innovative approach paves the way for unique and highly effective antiviral treatments. However, this breakthrough has far-reaching implications—not just for viral therapies, but also for tackling complex conditions like #neurodegenerative disorders and #cancer, where ICE changes play a critical role. At MicroQuin, we’re proud to push the boundaries of intracellular science, harnessing the power of molecular adaptability to develop treatments that make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives. #MicroQuin #CellularInnovation #TMBIM6 #AntiviralTherapies #Biotechnology #PrecisionMedicine

Forget Winter.... THE ICE AGE IS COMING! A recent publication in PNAS adds further support to the growing body of evidence that shows regulating the cells IntraCellular Environment (ICE) can have transformative outcomes for patients. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as #Parkinsons, induce ICE changes like Oxidative stress that are seen as the "heart of the disease". If you regulate ICE change you can transform patient outcome MicroQuin believe doctors have been right for decades... Using ICE can really help with #patient healing. The published work shows the neurotrophic factor mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) plays a critical role in maintaining cellular equilibrium. In doing so it impacts gene expression (via HLH-30/TFEB-mediated signalling) to regulate autophagy and lysosomal function. The authors go on to state that understanding MANF further could create #therapeutics that have huge implications for #parkinsonsdisease #alzheimersdisease #aging and age-related diseases.

🔥 Game-Changer in Cancer Treatment! 🔥 MicroQuin published in Nature Oncogene (part of Nature Portfolio). Our article unveils the transformative power of TMBIM6 (formerly known as Bax Inhibitor-1) in treating #Cancer. We show TMBIM6 is an IntraCellular Environmental (ICE) regulator that unleashes paraptosis—a specialized cancer cell death—across all cancer types. Using ROS and calcium-driven pathways, TMBIM6 annihilates tumors without harming healthy cells. The best part? It's effective against even stubborn, chemoresistant cancers. Imagine harnessing this natural mechanism for safer, groundbreaking therapies. The future of oncology just got brighter! 🌟 #DisruptiveInnovation #CancerBreakthrough #OncologyRevolution #ScienceThatMatters The excitement doesn't stop there... regulating ICE can create treatments for #traumaticbraininjury #viralinfection #wounds #aging #parkinsonsdisease #alzheimersdisease and this is just the start HUGE THANKS to those who provided grant funding to progress this groundbreaking work: Boeing, International Space Station National Laboratory, and United States Department of Defense Article: https://lnkd.in/e7jStMJT

In October, we #thinkpink, and for a good reason—one out of every eight women will be diagnosed with #breastcancer in their lifetime, and each year, 2 million women are given this frightening diagnosis. 🎗️ #Biotechnology startup MicroQuin used the microgravity environment of space in an effort to learn how breast and prostate cancer cells develop and grow but "found something incredible that could lead to a way to treat not just breast and prostate cancers but all cancers." Details are in the latest issue of Upward, the official magazine of the ISS National Lab: https://ow.ly/T5L450TUVX2

Stealth or just legally handcuffed? Startups, especially ones that are doing things no one else is, have a tough balancing act. What can we publicly say that doesnt hurt the IP we haven't filed yet, but shows everyone the magic inside the company. There is a need to build excitement, not just for funding purposes, but because you want to share your passion - especially when it is at the forefront of Science But the good news is MicroQuin's handcuffs are about to come off and we cannot wait to shout about our work! #startup #biotechnology #pharma #drug #drugdiscovery
