The adult stem cells or mesenchymal stem cells have the capacity to form various types of tissue such as bone, cartilage, neurons, fat, endothelium and cardiac muscle. These cells have therefore both a therapeutic (clinical) and a research use.
Potential uses for Progentix’ stem cells
- Tissue regeneration (e.g. bone, cartilage, cardiovascular, central nervous system, etc.)
- Screening, small molecule and drug discovery
