Products

iPSC-derived endothelial cell therapy for peripheral arterial disease and related ischemic conditions

A therapeutic cell product composed of endothelial cells differentiated from human iPSCs intended to promote neovascularization in peripheral arterial disease, critical limb ischemia and other ischemic indications.

Directly reprogrammed cardiac-like tissue therapy

Therapeutic approach based on direct conversion of somatic cells into cardiac-like tissue containing major cardiac cell types and extracellular matrix for heart regeneration.

Combination therapy: iPSC-derived vascular cells with peptide-based nanomatrix

A hybrid therapeutic combining iPSC-derived endothelial cells with a peptide-based nanomatrix scaffold intended to enhance engraftment and vascularization in ischemic organs.
