In living organisms, an undifferentiated cell that can produce other cells that eventually make up specialized tissues and organs. There are two major types of stem cells, embryonic and adult.

While the Company's core focus is advancing its therapies related to the eye, vascular system, and skin, the Company believes this platform could augment the potential product applications from what many believe to be the most powerful cell, the human embryonic stem cell Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of an early stage embryo known as a blastocyst. Human embryos reach the blastocyst stage 4-5 days post fertilization, at which time they consist of 50-150 cells.

ES cells are pluripotent.

 diseases. Despite that potential, researchers have not previously demonstrated efficient means of producing a large array of therapeutically-useful cell types in a pure and scalable form that allows them to be tested for potential human therapeutic use. The Company's proprietary ACTCellerate platform was invented by the Company as a means of accelerating the differentiation of cells from human embryonic stem cells, thereby expanding potential products made from embryonic stem cell technology.
