TiGenix

TiGenix is a European cell therapy company with a proprietary validated allogeneic expanded adipose-derived stem cell (eASC) platform technology for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and a commercialized product.

TiGenix's therapeutic approach is to focus on the use of living cells rather than conventional drugs for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, through its eASC-based platform, and heart disease, through its CSC-based platform. TiGenix's pipeline of stem cell programs is based on validated platforms of allogeneic stem cells.^{[citation needed]}
