Celularity to Present Data Showing Senescent Cell Elimination by Off-the-Shelf Natural Killer Cells Derived from Human Placental Cells
The preclinical data, which suggest that Celularity’s placenta-derived unmodified natural killer (NK) cells (CYNK-001) and genetically modified NK cells (CYNK-201) may serve as potent and selective senolytic agents for use in addressing age-related diseases, will be presented on May 9, 2024.
- The preclinical data, which suggest that Celularity’s placenta-derived unmodified natural killer (NK) cells (CYNK-001) and genetically modified NK cells (CYNK-201) may serve as potent and selective senolytic agents for use in addressing age-related diseases, will be presented on May 9, 2024.
- Senescent cells are key drivers in the process of age-related cellular corruption at the heart of degenerative diseases, cancer and immuno-senescence (the progressive decline in immune function that occurs with age).
- Moreover, if not eliminated, these cells impair the normal regenerative process that restores function to organs and tissues.
- Celularity believes these preclinical data demonstrate the potential of its assets to target and selectively remove damaged and abnormal cells expressing stress ligands, such as senescent, virally infected and cancer cells.
