LSTA1 also has the potential to modify the tumor microenvironment (TME). It is exploring the potential of LSTA1 to enable a variety of treatment modalities to treat a range of solid tumors. Its CD34+ is a cell therapy technology was targeting an array of diseases, among them, critical limb ischemia, coronary microvascular dysfunction, and diabetic kidney disease.
