EnhanceTM Platform

Cell expansion
& Rejuvenation

Proprietary platform designed to help cell & gene therapy (CGT) companies deliver greater doses of functional cells by expanding HSCs from any source and counteracting the effects of cell manipulation induced stress

  1. Science 2014; Lancet Hematol 2020; Cell Stem Cell 2021; Mol Ther Methods Clin Dev 2018 and many others; Collaboration in the field of PSCs with Astellas; Collaborations with several cell & gene therapy companies.
  2. Stem cells cultured with UM171 maintain greater factors associated with “stemness” or quiescence (adapted from Nakamura-Ishizu A., Dev Cell. 2020).
  3. 100+ patients treated with UM171-expanded cells; initial clinical trials results published in Lancet Heamatology (2020); CIBMTR matched-controlled study published in Blood Advances (2023).
