Mesenchymal human adult tissue-derived Stromal Stem Cells (SSC) is a mixed population of plastic-adherent (PA) cells that can be isolated from bone marrow, placenta and adipose tissue. PA-SSCs secrete potent immune-modulatory, angiogenic and anti-microbial factors. Preclinical and clinical studies demonstrate that PA-SSC elicit potent immunomodulatory and angiopoietic responses in vivo. Current clinical trials are testing PA-SSC in 40 distinct autoimmune and ischemic diseases.
