Regulatory T cells target systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation, but when they fail to function properly, they can drive serious health conditions including neurodegenerative, metabolic, and autoimmune diseases. Coya Therapeutics is developing a pipeline of therapies designed to restore the ability of Tregs to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation. The company’s lead experimental therapy is a combination of two biologics designed to treat ALS by boosting anti-inflammatory Tregs while suppressing other immune cells that drive inflammation. We spoke to Howard Berman, chairman and CEO of Coya, about the role of inflammation in neurodegenerative conditions, Tregs, and the company’s experimental therapy to treat ALS.
