Tissue Genesis Inc. began clinical trials for a peripheral vascular disease (PVD) treatment composed of adipose-derived adult stem cell-coated vascular grafts. Adipose is more commonly know as fat, a tissue that the company believes has high-output regenerative medicine potential.
The Honolulu-based Tissue Genesis is the first to initiate an FDA-approved trial using the patient’s own fat-derived adult stem cells (ASCs) prepared at the point-of-care, according the company company.
