LSTA1 actuates this active transport system in a tumor-specific manner, resulting in systemically co-administered anti-cancer drugs penetrating and accumulating in the tumor, while normal tissues are not affected. 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.
