SCM Life Science said that it has agreed with MitoImmune Therapeutics to develop a new treatment, which combines clonal mesenchymal stem cells (cMSC) and mitochondria technology.

The two companies will carry out the agreement soon to start research into therapeutic agents for intractable, inflammatory, and rare diseases.

"We hope to develop a drug for rare intractable diseases that can enter the global market by combing MitoImmune Therapeutics' mitochondrial control technology and our cMSC technology," SCM Life Science CEO Rhee Byung-gun said.

MitoImmune Therapeutics CEO Kim Soon-ha also said, "Our company expects that its mitochondria platform will provide a differentiated solution for the treatment of rare intractable diseases by modulating mitochondrial functions for SCM Life Science's cMSC."
