Good News: Applitech, InnoCellular, and EVANTICA Collaborate to Advance Mesenchymal Stem Cell Exosome Anti-Cancer Therapy Technology

On July 4, 2024, Singapore's InnoCellular Tech Pte Ltd (InnoCellular) made a successful appearance at the EVANTICA Symposium. InnoCellular, a high-tech company derived from Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and invested in by Applitech Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Applitech), marked its debut in the international market with this exhibition. This event signifies the formal start of a strong collaboration between the two companies, contributing to the advancement of international stem cell research.


During the symposium, InnoCellular's team of market and technical experts demonstrated to the attendees the technical process and advantages of using Applitech's self-developed bioreactors and InnoCellular's culture media to amplify mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and harvest exosomes under 3D culture conditions. Even more noteworthy, InnoCellular officially announced the launch of a new project in collaboration with the EVANTICA research team (Engineered Extracellular Vesicles for Anti-Cancer Therapy) to develop innovative anti-cancer therapies.

EVANTICA research team is dedicated to engineering mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) to enhance their specificity and amplification efficiency, offering a groundbreaking new approach for cancer therapy. The new collaborative project, jointly led by Dr. Minh LE, Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore, and Professor Yun Han LOH from the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore, aims to develop an innovative cancer therapy platform technology based on mesenchymal stem cell exosomes.


In this partnership, the scientific team will utilize Applitech's proprietary bioreactors and InnoCellular's specialized culture media for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to scale up MSC amplification for exosome harvesting. Prior to this collaboration, Applitech and InnoCellular have already established a strategic technical cooperation, conducting multiple MSC amplification experiments using Applitech's bioreactors combined with InnoCellular's culture media. The data demonstrates that the MSC amplification efficiency is at least twice that of traditional culture media, highlighting the exceptional performance of their respective products.


It is noteworthy that Applitech's bioreactors, known for their high-quality manufacturing and precise cell culture control systems, provide a stable and reliable cultivation environment for MSC growth, forming the foundation for successful experiments. Furthermore, InnoCellular will closely collaborate with EVANTICA to develop a new pharmaceutical-grade culture media formulation specifically tailored for harvesting exosomes.


The collaboration among Applitech, InnoCellular, and EVANTICA signifies a significant advancement in the field of novel cancer treatments. Through Applitech's outstanding technical support, InnoCellular's advanced specialized culture media formulations, and EVANTICA's pioneering research, the three parties aim to jointly introduce the next generation of highly efficient targeted cancer therapies, offering patients cutting-edge treatment options.
