Recently, many clinical studies have been conducted using stem cells or immune cells to overcome incurable diseases.
Cell therapy is a medicine that can be used for treatment, diagnosis, and preventive purposes by changing the cells’ biological characteristics or properties. Usually autologous or allogeneic cells are expanded and cultured ex vivo from living donors
Cell therapy includes somatic cell therapy and stem cell therapy, and the most representative somatic cell therapy includes immune cell therapy.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem Cell therapy is characterized by self-renewal and differenatiation ability and thus, has been highlighted to have therapeutic potential through tissue regeneration as well as anti-fibrosis and anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, stem cells can to be applied in many treatment areas that have not been overcome by existing medical treatment methods.

Immune cell therapy
Taking advantage of the fact that immune cells play a direct and indirect role in controlling tumor cells, it has been established as an emerging treatment category along with surgical procedures, radiation, and anticancer drugs. Immune cells do not have serious side effects and can control metastasis or recurrence of cancer. In addition to tumor cells, abnormal cells such as virus-infected cells are also recognized and removed by immune cells.
