The Science

Not a drug. Not a stem cell. A reset for the immune system.

In ALS, the immune system turns on the body it's meant to protect. SELtx uses your own blood to switch chronic inflammatory cells back into healers — in one 30-minute closed loop.

The Root Issue

The same immune cells that protect you can turn against you.

Think of it as a switch with two settings. In healthy tissue it stays balanced. In ALS it gets stuck on "attack" — and the ratio between the two states tracks how fast the disease moves.

M1 · Mr. Hyde

The "killer" state

Chronically activated M1 macrophages drive inflammation and attack motor neurons. The longer they dominate, the faster ALS progresses.

M2 · Dr. Jekyll

The "healer" state

M2 macrophages calm inflammation and support repair. Shift the balance back toward M2 and you change the disease's trajectory.

How SELtx™ Treats ALS

One closed loop. Four steps. Thirty minutes.

SELtx is a cell-based platform — not a stem-cell therapy. Your blood never leaves a sterile, closed circuit.

~30 min sterile closed loop 01 Draw 02 Activate 03 Signal 04 Re-infuse
01

Draw

~300 mL of blood — less than a standard donation — in a routine clinical setting.

02

Activate

Controlled hyperoxia and mechanotransduction trigger apoptosis — creating signaling "apoptogenics."

03

Signal

Those signals drive efferocytosis — flipping M1 "killer" cells into M2 "healer" cells.

04

Re-infuse

The treated blood returns. The immune system stops attacking and starts repairing.

The Main Medical Breakthrough

We rebalance immunity instead of shutting it down.

No drugs

Nothing synthetic is introduced. The therapy works with your own cells and their natural signals.

No stem cells

A cell-based platform that needs no stem cells, donor material, or genetic modification.

No immunosuppression

It resets the balance rather than broadly suppressing it — avoiding the toxicity of shutting immunity off.

How We Quantify This

We don't just claim the shift. We measure it.

In transgenic SOD1 ALS models, SELtx produced a validated M1-to-M2 shift — tracked with established immune biomarkers — alongside preserved motor function. The work was conducted with the Indiana University School of Medicine.
