Progenza – allogeneic stem cell
technology platform
----- End of picture text -----
-
Allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are sourced from a healthy adult donor – no reprogramming of cells = safety benefits
-
Adipose (fat) tissue is the source of cells
-
large starting volume, and large number of MSCs in adipose vs. other tissue sources
- Optimised production using proprietary IP à production of millions of doses from one donor = scalable technology
-
immuno-modulatory benefits of adipose derived cells (vs other sources)

Progenza – advantages of secretions
----- End of picture text -----
-
Secretions are the drivers of therapeutic effect
-
MSCs secrete a diverse variety of bioactive factors including cytokines, and growth factors
-
Secretions respond to the local environment and responsible for reducing inflammation, promoting tissue repair and reducing scarring
-
Addition of secretions with cells (Progenza):
-
Improve functionality of cells
- enhanced ability to secrete and proliferate
-
Improve therapeutic effect
- demonstrated in rheumatoid arthritis model (CAIA) in mice - tested MSC cells alone and MSC cells frozen in cell supernatant
==> picture [318 x 202] intentionally omitted <==
- average Clinical Arthritis score were significantly lower with cells frozen in cell supernatant compared to cells alone
