BALDWIN PARK, Calif.<\/span>,\u00a0Nov. 5, 2025<\/span>\u00a0\/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0StemCyte International (TPEX: 4178)<\/b>, a global leader in cord blood banking and cell therapy, today announced the launch of its Public Bank Matching Protection Service in Taiwan, developed in collaboration with leading insurance partner, Taishin Life.

At the core of this milestone is\u00a0<\/span>REGENECYTE\u00ae (HPC, Cord Blood)<\/b>, which received U.S. FDA Biologics License Application (BLA) approval in late 2024. This designation makes StemCyte the only private cord blood company with an FDA-approved therapy for unrelated allogeneic transplantation, underscoring more than two decades of scientific and clinical leadership. Worldwide, allogeneic cord blood transplantation has supported the treatment of over 80 hematologic, immune, metabolic, and rare diseases.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

With a record of more than 2,300 successful transplants, StemCyte has become one of the most experienced providers in the field. The company upholds rigorous standards \u2014 FACT and AABB accreditations, participation in the NMDP Network, and TFDA GMP\/GTP certifications, while advancing science through an RMAT designation (Long COVID program).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tong-Young Lee, Ph.D., CEO of StemCyte, stated: “The true value of cord blood protection lies in its ability to save lives in critical moments. The clinical specifications and requirements for allogeneic transplants are far higher than those for autologous use. StemCyte’s vast allogeneic public bank resources, accumulated over nearly 30 years, represent a barrier to entry for other autologous storage providers. We are the first to integrate this innovative service with the insurance system, enabling more people to receive immediate support for cell therapy.”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
