Engineering next-generation mesenchymal stem cell therapies through proprietary Japan-origin manufacturing technology and PIC/S GMP excellence
Platform Technology
HKRM's proprietary MSC manufacturing platform, acquired from Japan in 2020, incorporates advanced cell manipulation and differentiation protocols that mimic native developmental niches. This enables the consistent production of high-potency allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell products at commercial scale.
Cell Manipulation
Proprietary protocols for isolating, expanding, and characterising allogeneic MSCs with optimal therapeutic potency and consistent quality across production batches.
Differentiation Platform
Advanced differentiation systems that replicate native developmental microenvironments, directing MSCs toward specific therapeutic lineages for targeted disease applications.
PIC/S GMP Manufacturing
Hong Kong's first and only licensed allogeneic MSC PIC/S GMP facility, meeting the same rigorous standards adopted by EU, US FDA, and 50+ regulatory authorities worldwide.
Clinical Pipeline
Our clinical pipeline focuses on high unmet medical needs in Asia, leveraging the therapeutic potential of allogeneic MSCs for degenerative and immunological conditions.

Therapeutic Focus
Our allogeneic MSC platform targets diseases with significant unmet medical needs across Asia-Pacific, focusing on conditions where stem cell therapies have demonstrated strong clinical evidence.
Liver Diseases
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) represents a major cause of mortality in Asia. Our lead programme HKRM-ACLP is in Phase II clinical development.
Degenerative Diseases
MSC therapies show significant promise for osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal degenerative conditions, offering potential regeneration of damaged tissues.
Immunological Disorders
The immunomodulatory properties of MSCs make them ideal candidates for treating graft-versus-host disease and other immune-mediated conditions.
Science Explainer
MSC, Conditioned Medium & Exosomes
Mesenchymal stem / stromal cells are living cells that communicate with their environment by releasing a broad secretome. After cell culture, the collected conditioned medium contains soluble factors and extracellular vesicles; exosomes are a nano-vesicle fraction that can be isolated and further characterized.
From living cells to secretome mixture to nano-vesicles
This simplified diagram explains the relationship between MSCs, conditioned medium and exosomes without making therapeutic claims.
1
Mesenchymal Stem / Stromal CellsMSC · Living cells
MSCs are living cells used as a biological starting point. They can differentiate in defined settings and communicate through paracrine signaling.

Conditioned MediumCM · Secretome mixture
CM is collected after cell culture and may contain a broad secretome: soluble factors, proteins, cytokines, lipids and extracellular vesicles.
CCollected after culture
FMultiple bioactive factors
VContains soluble factors and vesicles
3
ExosomesNano-vesicles · Part of CM
Exosomes are a nano-vesicle fraction within extracellular vesicles. They are typically studied for their molecular cargo and cell-to-cell communication role.
NNano-sized vesicles
MMay carry RNA, proteins and lipids
ICan be isolated from conditioned medium
Relationship: MSCs secrete bioactive factors into conditioned medium; exosomes are nano-vesicles that can be isolated from conditioned medium.
