This paper reports a study in which engineered neural tissue (EngNT) was made using ReNeuron‘s clinical grade stem cells and tested in a nerve injury model using athymic nude rats. This approach offers the possibility of developing an Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP) using allogeneic cells which could potentially be suitable for implantation into patients […]
