Long description:

Keros Therapeutics is discovering and developing treatments for rare hematologic and musculoskeletal disorders. A wide range of disorders are linked to dysfunctional signaling of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β). At Keros, they are using their protein engineering and drug development expertise to uncover targets within the TGF-β superfamily. By developing therapeutics that can intervene in this pathway, Keros aims to target pathways critical for the growth, repair and maintenance of blood cells and a number of tissues including bone, skeletal muscle, adipose and heart tissue.
