  • Company Description
    The Company was founded for the specific purposes of solving key problems in the emerging field of regenerative medicine, cell availability and immune rejection. There are growing numbers of cell transplant therapies that have already been demonstrated to be effective in treating major diseases such as diabetes, liver disease and retinal disease, and many others. What is not available is a reliable, renewable and essentially unlimited source of human cells for use in these transplant procedures. Existing embryonic stem cell lines produce cells that will be difficult to match to the patient’s immune system. Parthenogenetic stem cells can solve both of these problems.
