Therapeutic Areas

Acceleron is a leader in the understanding of the underlying biology of GDF/BMP proteins, which play a central role in the control of tissue development and growth. These proteins are important in normal development and disease processes, and affect a wide range of tissues, including bone, vasculature, muscle and fat.

Our technology taps into the rich biology of the GDF/BMP family to modulate the growth of these tissues in a powerful and precise manner and offer hope in the fight against cancer, neuromuscular, and metabolic diseases.

Acceleron is currently developing treatments for:

Cancer-Related Bone Loss
Cancer-Related Muscle Loss
Neuromuscular Diseases
Metabolic Disorders
