Mass Produced Stem Cells as A Gateway to Personalized Medicine
“The tissue block, or T-block, is a 3D scaffold that is expandable and modular to grow stem cells. The goal is to efficiently expand a patient’s own stem cells to engineer organoids or grafts that could be used in life-saving surgeries.”

Ronawk enables large quantity production of adult stem cells thanks to its revolutionary T-blocks (tissue blocks). The technology includes biocompatible hydrogel scaffolds manufactured by CELLINK’s bioprinter LUMEN X+ ™ where stem cells can grow.
With the latter, researchers are envisioning culturing a patient’s own adult stem cells to create viable organoids that could be transplanted into the patient with no need for the long-term immunosuppressant drugs they would have taken with a donated organ.
