About MB-007:
Stem cells derivative of adult sources can have a variety of useful applications in disease treatment and biotechnology. More particularly the Umbilical Cord Matrix Stem Cells (UCMSCs) of the invention have a variety of pluripotent, or multipotent capabilities for a variety of end uses from a non-controversial, universally available, species-specific source. MB-007 can have application to any mammalian animal including canines, felines and equine patients. MB-007 relates to isolating the stem cells, culturing the stem cells, maintaining the stem cells, transforming the stem cells into useful cell types using genetic or other transformation technologies, stem cell and tissue banking and using untransformed or transformed cells in disease treatment. The goal of the partnership is to advance MB-007 and other promising biologic candidates to ultimately provide novel therapies for musculoskeletal and internal medicine conditions and other diseases and disorders.
