The company, a leader in biotech innovation, today announced a major stride in combating Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D). The company has secured FDA authorization for an expanded access therapy using CELZ-201, a pioneering cell-based program in managing abnormal glucose tolerance and preventing T1D in high-risk individuals.

This groundbreaking therapy uses CELZ-201 to potentially prevent T1D onset and is believed to be a first in medical history. This personalized medicine approach, focusing on a single high-risk patient, demonstrates the company's dedication to innovative, tailored healthcare solutions.
