company focused on developing and commercializing novel therapeutics from its
proprietary platforms of allogeneic, or donor-derived, expanded stem cells. Our
lead product candidate from the adipose-derived stem cell technology platform is
Cx601, which is in registration with the European Medicines Agency for the
treatment of complex perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease patients. Our adipose-
