Chinese biotech firm UniXell Biotechnology has received approval for its cell therapy UX-GIP001 for intractable epilepsy to enter clinical trials in both China and the US, marking a first in the field. The therapy uses allogeneic induced pluripotent stem cells to repair damaged brain circuits. Promising animal studies showed significant reduction in seizure-related brain activity. Founded in 2021, UniXell recently secured CNY140 million (USD20.5 million) in funding to advance its clinical trials for epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.
