Stemgenics has developed a breakthrough technology that converts mature cells (skin cells) into personalized stem cells. Stemgenics Personalized Stem Cells may be used to regenerate a variety of tissues of the human body (regenerative medicine).• Cells of a small patch of skin are placed in cell culture, Stemgenics proprietary (or patent-pending or patented) functionalized nanoparticles are added and thee skin cells are reprogrammed into stem cells. • Functionalized reprogramming nanoparticles are DNA and virus-free, thereby, in contrast to virally reprogrammed cells, the genome of personalized stem cells generated with the functionalized nanoparticles is intact and applicable for human use• Generation of stem cells is very efficient so quantities of stem cells are readily available.• The stem cells may be used in regenerative medicine without the fear of rejection or immune response.
