It details a method for differentiating cells from a clinically compliant iPSC source of a minimum of passage 20 or greater, produced under good manufacturing practice (GMP) compliance.
The process can produce cellular products including astrocytes, dopaminergic neurons, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, mesenchymal cells, retinal epithelium and retinal progenitors.
With this patent, RxCell will strengthen its portfolio of new therapies targeting retinal degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
The company is also developing liver cell therapies for hepatic diseases and vascular and connective tissue cells for a range of therapeutic applications.
