Exhibit 99.1

NorthStrive Biosciences Announces Positive Results from Phase

III of AI-Driven Drug Discovery Program with Yuva Biosciences

● Yuva Biosciences' proprietary MitoNova™ AI platform identified small-molecule

candidates that were biologically validated in primary human skeletal muscle cells, with multiple candidates increasing ANT1, a mitochondrial

protein central to skeletal muscle energy metabolism.

● Four AI-selected compounds demonstrated ANT1 induction, supporting their

further confirmatory testing and development.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 1, 2026 - NorthStrive

Biosciences Inc. ("NorthStrive Biosciences"), a subsidiary of PMGC Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ELAB) ("PMGC"

or the "Company"), today announced positive results from Phase III of its AI-driven drug discovery program with strategic

partner Yuva Biosciences, Inc. ("Yuva Biosciences").

Phase III of the parties’ drug discovery program (“Phase

III”) was designed to biologically validate a focused set of small-molecule candidates selected by Yuva Biosciences' proprietary

MitoNova™ AI platform. These candidates were tested in primary human skeletal muscle cells using an in vitro assay

measuring ANT1 protein expression.

ANT1 is a mitochondrial protein involved in cellular energy metabolism

in skeletal muscle. The parties’ drug discovery program is focused on identifying candidates that may support the Company's broader

development strategy around muscle preservation, including potential applications relevant to muscle health and metabolic stress.

The study in Phase III evaluated a focused set of AI-selected small-molecule

candidates. According to the results package prepared by Yuva Biosciences, four compounds (C1, C2, C3, and C4) increased ANT1 expression,

with the strongest candidates demonstrating dose-dependent induction. Yuva Biosciences’ results report identified C1, C2 and C4

as the strongest and most dose-consistent ANT1 inducers, while C3 also advanced as a candidate based on statistically significant activity

at the highest tested dose.

Key

Phase III Findings

Finding

Significance

Four AI-selected compounds significantly increased ANT1 expression.

C1, C2, C3 and C4 each demonstrated statistically significant increases in ANT1 expression, validating biological activity of multiple MitoNova™ AI-selected candidates in human skeletal muscle cells.

Multiple candidates demonstrated meaningful dose-dependent induction.

The strongest observed increases included C2 at up to +50%, C4 at up to +48%, and C1 at up to +46%, with C3 demonstrating a +29% increase at the highest tested dose.

The results support confirmatory testing and further development.

Yuva Biosciences recommended advancing the four validated candidates into a more mature and energy-demanding skeletal muscle model, to further confirm ANT1 induction and de-risk subsequent development.

Connection to Prior Program Update

The Company previously announced that Phase III was expected to use

Yuva Biosciences' improved sixth-generation classifier models to support a more refined selection of candidate compounds and a more comprehensive

in vitro validation stage. The prior update also stated that Phase III results were expected in Q2 2026. View

the prior PMGC press release.

Next Steps

Based on the positive Phase III results, NorthStrive Biosciences and

Yuva Biosciences are evaluating next steps, including confirmatory testing and further development of the four validated candidates. The

proposed next stage is expected to evaluate whether the ANT1 induction observed in primary human skeletal muscle cells is maintained in

a more mature muscle model that more closely reflects adult skeletal muscle biology.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this press release regarding matters that are

not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of

1995, as amended. Words such as "believes," "expects," "plans," "potential," "would"

and "future" or similar expressions such as "look forward" are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking

statements are made as of the date of this press release and are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead,

they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies,

projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, activities of regulators and future regulations, the ability to obtain, maintain

and enforce patent protection, whether patent applications will issue or claims will be allowed, clinical and regulatory development timelines,

potential indications, safety and efficacy, and market opportunity. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are

subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our

control. Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot assure

you that such expectations will turn out to be correct, and the Company cautions investors that actual results may differ materially from

the anticipated results. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not

limited to, statements regarding the potential significance of the Phase III results, the potential advancement of candidate compounds,

future confirmatory testing, further characterization and development, the potential relevance of ANT1 induction, the Company's muscle

preservation strategy, and the potential applications or benefits of the AI-driven drug discovery program.

The results described in this press release are based on in vitro testing

and are preliminary in nature. The Company cannot provide assurance that any candidate will demonstrate similar activity in future testing,

differentiated models, animal studies, clinical studies, or any commercial application. There can be no assurance that the Company or

Yuva Biosciences will successfully advance any candidate, complete additional studies, obtain regulatory approvals, develop a product

candidate, or generate revenue from this program.

These and other risks are described more fully in PMGC's filings with

the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026, and its other documents subsequently

filed with or furnished to the SEC. Investors and security holders are urged to read these documents free of charge on the SEC's website

at www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the

date on which they were made. Except to the extent required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements to

reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made.
