Cellect Biotechnology has received approval to initiate the trial in the U.S. to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the ApoGraft technology for haploidentical bone marrow transplantations.
Through negative selection, Cellect's technology identifies mature cells that can be harmful to the recipient and selectively eliminates those cells through apoptosis (cell death).
Cellect Biotechnology and a group at Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden) have teamed upto explore the combination of their stem cell technologies.
