Pluristem’s PLX Cells Significantly Inhibit Cancer Cell Growth in Newly Published Study
- PLX cells exhibit anti-proliferative effect on a wide range of human cancer cell types
- Pre-clinical study results show statistically significant reduction in tumor size as well as complete tumor remission in 30% of treated recipients
HAIFA, Israel, Jan. 12, 2018 — Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:PSTI) (TASE:PSTI), a leading developer of placenta-based cell therapy products, today announced the publication of a peer-reviewed article in the journal Scientific Reports, from the publisher of Nature, titled, “Human Placental-Derived Adherent Stromal Cells Co-Induced with TNF‑α and IFN‑γ Inhibit Triple-Negative Breast Cancer in Nude Mouse Xenograft Models.”
The article is based on studies which examined the effect of PLX cells that had been induced with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), on the proliferation of over 50 lines of human cancerous cells. The induction of the cells was carried out by adjusting their manufacturing process in order to transiently alter their secretion profile. [Read more…]
