Xintela signs memorandum of understanding with CO.DONXintela AB (publ) announces today that the company has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with the leading European cell therapy company, CO.DON. The parties intend to collaborate on the development of Xintela's quality markers for CO.DON's next cell-based product and for the co- development of Xintela's stem cell product for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The Memorandum of Understanding follows from the positive results of the validation of Xintela's quality assurance assay, XACT™, which was carried out together with CO.DON. It means the two companies will now take the next step towards a deeper, product development-focused collaboration.
"Last year we completed a very successful collaboration with CO.DON to validate Xintela's markers for quality assurance of CO.DON's cartilage cells. CO.DON is one of the leading regenerative medicine companies in Europe and we look forward to reaching definitive agreements to start developing these new business opportunities", says Xintela's CEO Evy Lundgren-Åkerlund.
