Project Overview
We have pioneered groundbreaking research in the field of adult stem cells, focusing on using fetal tissue to develop sub-pluripotent stem cells, a novel subpopulation with pluripotency close to embryonic stem cells and safety akin to normal cells. By proposing the "Sub-Pluripotent Stem Cell Theory," we have contributed significantly to scientific advancements, publishing over 380 papers, authoring foundational monographs, and establishing China’s first scalable production process for adult stem cells. In 2004, we successfully registered and initiated clinical trials for the world’s first stem cell-based new drug, marking a major milestone in China’s scientific innovation.

About the Product

Our stem cell product is based on sub-pluripotent stem cells, a breakthrough type of adult stem cell with the following attributes:
High Pluripotency: Differentiation potential comparable to embryonic stem cells, enabling versatile tissue regeneration.
Safety: Matches the safety profile of normal somatic cells, avoiding ethical controversies and safety concerns associated with embryonic stem cells.

Immunomodulatory Function: Dual-directional regulation capability, promoting immune balance by inducing regulatory dendritic cells (DCs) and mitigating hyperinflammatory responses.
Scalable Production: Developed using engineered preparation processes to ensure large-scale production with consistent quality.
Therapeutic Versatility: Addressing medical needs in immune disorders, organ rejection, and chronic inflammatory diseases.
This product is the first stem cell-based new drug approved for clinical trials globally, laying the foundation for innovative approaches in regenerative medicine and immunotherapy.
Application Scenario
Our research and development efforts focus on creating solutions for critical medical challenges, including:
Immune Regulation: Balancing immune responses to treat organ rejection, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory conditions.

Tissue Regeneration: Repairing and restoring damaged tissues in degenerative or chronic diseases.

Disease Management: Developing innovative therapies for major health conditions such as cancer and immune-related disorders.

The versatility of our stem cell technology positions it as a transformative tool for advancing global healthcare.
