Medistem Files Patent Application On Therapeutic Cell Population Found In Fat Tissue
"The patent application covers not only methods of using fat tissue for suppressing inflammatory and autoimmunity, but also methods of expanding and increasing activity of these therapeutic cells," said Neil Riordan PhD, President and CEO of Medistem. He continued, "The current findings support development of therapeutics that suppress diseases with the body's own natural means, avoiding the need for toxic non-specific immune suppressants and steroids. If treatments can be developed based on these findings, patients could rely on T regulatory cells found in their own fat tissue, instead of non-specific drugs."
Medistem is currently working with several academic collaborators to develop regenerative and immune modulatory therapeutics using cellular populations derived from the fat tissue, cord blood, and as recently published, menstrual blood.
"Autoimmune diseases affect approximately 5-8 percent of the American population, being the 3rd major cause of illness behind cancer and heart disease. We are confident that our findings and intellectual property positioning in this area may enable Medistem to start addressing a substantially relevant unmet need," concluded Chris McGuinn, COO of Medistem.
