Adult
Stem Cell
Adult Stem Cell
Adult stem cells are found in various tissue, and can easily and safely be extracted from peripheral blood,
fat, bone marrow, placenta, and umbilical cord. Adult stem cells have already undergone differentiation,
so each adult stem cell can be used for different diseases depending on the level of potential differentiation.

Adipose
Adipose (Adipose-derived Stem Cells)
Adipose-derived stem cells can be easily obtained through liposuction. These types of cells are ideal
for regenerative medicine because a large amount of cells can be obtained from a small amount of adipose tissues.

Preclinical stage (self)
- CD (Cartilage defect), DD (Disk Degeneration)
- Fat transplantation (face, back of the hand, chest)
- Knee cartilage restoration
|
Bone
Marrow
Bone Marrow
Bone marrow cells are capable of forming pancreatic islets, a precursor cell. Studies have shown that
these cells help to treat diabetes by stimulating insulin secretion.
|
|
|
Placenta
Placenta
The placenta is rich in hematopoietic stem cells which gives rise to all blood cell types as well as mesenchymal stem cells,
which can be differentiated into muscles, nerves, bones, and fat.
|
Preclinical stage (other)
- GCI (Global Cerebral Ischemia) Preclinical completed
- AD (Alzheimer's disease) clinical studies ongoing
|
|
Cord Blood
Cord Blood
Cord blood comes from umbilical cords and can be used in regenerative medicine to create hematopoietic stem cells.
Cord blood is abundant in mesenchymal stem cells that can be used to treat intractable diseases.
|
Clinical progress (self/ other)
- Cerebral Palsy Treatment (HIRA application of new medical technology advances)
- ALS
- Traumatic Brain Injury
|
Umbilical
Cord
Umbilical Cord
The umbilical cord contains an abundance of mesenchymal stem cells which can be differentiated into nerve cells,
myocyte (muscle cells), bone cells, and cartilage cells. Therefore, it can be used to cure intractable diseases
such as liver ailments, bone diseases, diabetes, muscular diseases, and nerve disorders.

Neural
Precursor Cell
Neural Precursor Cell
NSC; Neural stem cells found in adult brains form neural progenitor cells which are immediately split.
These neural progenitor cells are differentiated into nerve cells, stellate cells, and oligodendrocyte
and play a role in cognitive functions, injury repair, and disease recovery.
