The Science Behind LyGenesis
This part of the body is used as a bioreactor to grow functional ectopic organs.
What are lymph nodes?
LyGenesis is developing cell therapies to treat this end-stage organ disease, which affects millions worldwide.
What is end-stage liver disease (ESLD)?
LyGenesis’s liver therapy is currently in this phase of clinical trials.
LyGenesis’s approach reduces reliance on this traditional, high-risk medical procedure.
In addition to the liver, LyGenesis is working on regenerating this gland, which plays a crucial role in immune function.
What is the thymus?
Before moving to human trials, LyGenesis tests its therapies in these two types of animal models.
What are small and large animals?
The outpatient procedure used to engraft liver cells into lymph nodes is called this.
What is an endoscopic ultrasound?
The LyGenesis pipeline includes a therapy aimed at treating this autoimmune condition that affects insulin production.
What is Type 1 diabetes?
A therapy must pass these five stages before getting FDA approval.
What are discovery, small animal testing, large animal testing, Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3?
LyGenesis's cell therapy technology is considered allogeneic because it uses this type of donor material.
What are donor-derived cells?
LyGenesis’s therapy for end-stage renal disease targets this pair of vital organs.
What are Kidneys?
This U.S. regulatory agency oversees the approval of new medical treatments like those developed by LyGenesis.
What is the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)?
