Regenerative therapy is one of the most promising fields in modern medicine. At the Institute for Experimental and Clinical Cell Therapy (ExCT) we investigate new mechanisms of organ and tissue  regeneration: Based on the identification of unsolved medical problems (Medical need), new research approaches (R&D) and new therapeutic concepts are developed. Two core facilities (Bioinformatics; Flow Cytometry) are operated by ExCT to service PMU researchers. 

 

Projects

The central question of our work is to understand which aspects of cell therapy can be simplified & replaced by using the factors and extracellular vesicles secreted by the cells.

We focus on stem cells including the so-called universal iPSC and their molecular secretome in interaction with platelet factors (HPL). A new research focus is the clinical application of stabilized mRNA.
