The approach of Laminar Pharma to treat diseases is called #Melitherapy

Every cell in our body has a membrane to separate them from the outside https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚧" title="Baustellenschild" aria-label="Emoji: Baustellenschild"> This membrane is made of a double layer of lipids which has proteins embedded in it. The internal and external layers have different lipid compositions and thus, they have different physical properties.
These proteins play many important roles: they allow the cell to let molecules in and out https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔃" title="Auf-und Abwärtspfeile in offenem Kreis im Uhrzeigersinn" aria-label="Emoji: Auf-und Abwärtspfeile in offenem Kreis im Uhrzeigersinn"> and also to communicate with other cells and the outside https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗨" title="Linke Sprechblase" aria-label="Emoji: Linke Sprechblase">
Some of these proteins act as receptors for chemical signals that produce relevant changes in the cell https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📣" title="Anfeuerungsmegafon" aria-label="Emoji: Anfeuerungsmegafon"> For example, they can receive a signal that makes the cell divide, change the expression of its genes or even die https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☠" title="Totenkopf" aria-label="Emoji: Totenkopf">
Sometimes these changes are ultimately responsible for the onset of diseases https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏥" title="Krankenhaus" aria-label="Emoji: Krankenhaus"> An example of this is cancer: if the signals that make the cells divide become unbalanced, the divisions grow out of control, producing a tumour.
This is where #Melitherapy can make a difference! This approach targets the lipids that form the cell membrane https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎯" title="Volltreffer" aria-label="Emoji: Volltreffer">
Proteins need a certain interaction with membrane lipids to stay in it. It the lipids change, the proteins may lose their anchoring and thus, they would stop transmitting any signal.
To sum up, if we manage to change at will the composition of the cellular membrane, we can control the transmission of the signals that the cell receives and stop those that are producing a disease https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👩⚕️" title="Woman health worker" aria-label="Emoji: Woman health worker">
This may be useful for many different conditions: cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, metabolic disorders, inflammatory diseases…
