WHAT IS CYTORI CELL THERAPY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

While the exact mechanism of action is unknown, pre-clinical publications suggest the use of ADRCs has been associated with improvements in angiogenesis, inflammation and fibrosis.

Angiogenesis/Vasculopathy

In pre-clinical studies, ADRCs have been shown to promote angiogenesis, or the creation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels. Application of these cells has also been associated with improvement of vasomotor function.1,2,3,4,5

Inflammation

In pre-clinical studies, use of ADRCs has been shown to be associated with modulation of inflammation through expression of factors that regulate both pro- and anti-inflammatory cells. This includes processes such as polarization of macrophages and inhibition of T cell activation.3,6,7,8,9

Fibrosis/Wound Repair

In pre-clinical studies use of ADRCs has been associated with reduction and remodeling of fibrosis. This is mediated by modulation of expression of extracellular matrix components and remodeling enzymes.2,10,11

A New Approach to Addressing Poorly Met Medical Needs
ADRCs, the active component of Cytori Cell Therapy, have the potential to harness the power of a patient’s own cells to promote healing.

Safety Profile

The use of ADRCs in pre-clinical and clinical studies has been shown to be well-tolerated. Hundreds of patients have been treated with ADRCs in multiple clinical trials across the world. Cytori’s approach to cell therapy avoids the risk of rejection.
