Stem Cell Banking
Since its creation in 2010, the Boya Stem Cell Bank has grown into the largest and most automated clinical-grade stem cell bank in the world. It allows for the isolation, extraction and preservation of neonatal umbilical cord, umbilical cord blood, placental stem cells and the storage of adult stem cells for future use.
Headquartered in Wuxi, with additional locations in Beijing, Chongqing, Guangxi and Guangzhou, the Boya Stem Cell Bank is accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) and certified by the National Serology Reference Laboratory (NRL), a World Health Organization collaborating center, as well as the College of American Pathologists (CAP).

Regenerative Medicine
By leveraging its expertise in autologous cell-based therapies, Boyalife, through its Cesca Therapeutics affiliate, is developing point-of-care tissue regeneration treatments for a range of indications, including critical limb ischemia (CLI), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), wound healing, cartilage regeneration and others. The company is actively seeking partnerships to advance development of these promising treatments, including CLI, which is Phase 3-ready.
Immuno-oncology
Boyalife’s cell processing affiliate, Cesca Therapeutics, is working to enter the rapidly-emerging CAR-T and immune-oncology space though development of CAR-TXpress™. CAR-TXpress, which is based on its proprietary AutoXpress platform technology, can facilitate the automated manufacture of high-quality, clinical-grade CAR-T cells at scale. CAR-TXpress will address several key challenges currently facing the industry as more CAR-T-based treatments approach the market: speed and consistency.
Traditional cell processing methodologies that work on narrow streams of slowly moving suspended cells are manual and time consuming, presenting an obstacle to the large-scale manufacture of infused CAR-T cells.
In contrast, CAR-TXpress is an automated solution that isolates target cells using patented buoyancy-activated cell separation (BACS) technology. CAR-TXpress integrates multi-component automation steps, from T-cell isolation, purification, culture expansion and washing, and single cassette-based automated -196°C cryopreservation and retrieval, resulting in greater cell yields and higher consistency than other cell isolation processes. The CAR-TXpress system can provide a comprehensive and commercially viable, automated cellular manufacturing and control (CMC) solution for the development of CAR-T and CAR-NK therapeutics. CAR-TXpress works in bulk volumes of cells, dramatically reducing both processing time and the cost of the required capital equipment.
