Mechanism of action

Cx401 consists of expanded allogeneic adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) that are applied topically to chronic diabetic foot ulcers. These cells are believed to work through paracrine signaling, secreting anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors that promote angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, and enhance wound healing. The mechanism leverages the immunomodulatory and regenerative properties of mesenchymal stem cells to improve tissue repair in non-healing wounds.
