Discover the Future of Membrane Science
Innovative Approaches in Cellular Membrane Research
Explore groundbreaking advancements in membrane targeting that redefine cellular continuity and enhance biological understanding.
Targeting the membrane state, not an enzyme, a receptor or a gene
What membrane-state targeting means
A hemifusome is a pair of vesicles held together by an extended hemifusion diaphragm — a shared, half-merged bilayer. The 2025 Nature Communications description places that diaphragm at the point where a vesicle’s fate is decided. Panacea Bio Chem’s Hemifusomex™ programme works on the physical state of that membrane rather than on an enzyme, a receptor or a gene. It is exploratory: nothing has been published for it, and no result is claimed on this site. Nature Communications, 17 May 2025
Who runs it

What is established
The organelle itself: heterotypic vesicle pairs joined by a hemifusion diaphragm, with proteolipid nanodroplets, seen by in-situ cryo-electron tomography at the NIH and the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
What is not established
Any therapeutic outcome. No trial, dose or patient result exists for Hemifusomex™, and none is asserted here. The 2026 review sets out what the model still has to prove.
