Video: StemCells Inc. using Neural Stem Cells for their Neuroprotective Effect
Posted on November 25th, 2009 | by Stem Cell News |Discover StemCells, Inc. A pioneer in the field of neural stem cells, StemCells Inc was founded by the renown Irving Weissman, Fred Gage, and David Anderson. Martin McGlynn, CEO, presents StemCells Inc’s use of neural stem cells, and clinical development strategy based on the neuroprotective effect of neural stem cells.
Stem Cells Inc is preparing a BLA for NCL (a.k.a. Batten’s Disease). Martin reveals the source of the stem cells used, as well as the quantity of cells needed for the treatment of various diseases. StemCells Inc’s next clinical trials (PMD, spinal cord, macular degeneration) and milestones are also presented here. We conclude this interview with Martin’s comments on successfully dealing with the complexity of regularity matters, beyond FDA approval.
