About Cynata Therapeutics (ASX: CYP)
Cynata Therapeutics Limited (ASX: CYP) is an Australian clinical stage stem cell and regenerative medicine
company that is developing a therapeutic stem cell platform technology, Cymerus™, originating from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, a world leader in stem cell research. The proprietary Cymerus™ technology
addresses a critical shortcoming in existing methods of production of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for
therapeutic use, which is the ability to achieve economic manufacture at commercial scale. Cymerus™ utilises
induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to produce a particular type of MSC precursor, called a
mesenchymoangioblast (MCA). The Cymerus™ platform provides a source of MSCs that is independent of
donor limitations and provides an “off-the-shelf” stem cell platform for therapeutic product use, with a
pharmaceutical product business model and economies of scale. This has the potential to create a new
standard in the emergent arena of stem cell therapeutics and provides both a unique differentiator and an
important competitive position.
