In breaking news released earlier this month, Cynata Therapeutics (ASX: CYP) announced a major world first. The company treated a patient with steroid resistant acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) as part of a phase 1 clinical study of its first mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) product, CYP-001 .
This is an important value catalyst for Cynata and also for the regenerative medicine industry, because it is the first time ever that a patient has been treated with an allogeneic induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived therapeutic mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) product.
