Description:

Stemgenics is a developer of a technology that converts mature skin cells into personalized stem cells. The company's personalized stem cells may be used to regenerate any tissue of the human body. Stem cells can grow and develop into any cell type of the body. They are not rejected but are accepted by the body as its own cells. In Stemgenics' breakthrough process, cells from a small patch of skin are placed in cell culture. Its patent-pending functionalized nanoparticles are added and the skin cells are reprogrammed into stem cells.
