(OTCBB:PSTI) (DAX:PJT), a leading bio-therapeutics Company dedicated to the commercialization of non-personalized (allogeneic) cell therapy products for a variety of malignant, ischemic and autoimmune disorders, announced today that in vitro testing of its PLacenta eXpanded (PLX) cells demonstrated the potential to treat autoimmune disorders. This testing showed a significant reduction of TNF-a and interferon-? inflammatory cytokines that are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders.
