Stem cell specialist Regenetech has signed a sponsored research agreement with fellow USA-based Johns Hopkins University in order to work toward a treatment for type 1 diabetes. This is in addition to the research accords which the company currently has in place with Texas A&M University and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Regenetech is pioneering the development and commercialization of technology which the company believes will enable regenerative therapy with adult stem cells for widespread use.
The latest accord will span two years, and involves significant funding from the company, according to Regenetech. The goal of the research project is to develop a treatment for type 1 diabetes using a patient's own adult stem cells expanded in Regenetech's Intrifuge Bioreactor.
