Stem cell products
Cell therapy medicinal products and tissue engineered products represent a new category of drugs which holds wide therapeutic potential for treating different types of diseases. Regea Tissue Center was among the first in the world to start the manufacture of tissue engineered products for clinical applications. Thus far close to 30 patients suffering from bone tissue defects have been treated by stem cells derived from the patient’s own adipose tissue. The treatments have been made in collaboration with Finnish hospitals.
Regea houses a GMP laboratory with adjacent QC laboratories for the manufacture of cell and tissue based products.
