The UM171 molecule discovered at IRIC generates a great deal of hope

UM171 continues to surprise us. This molecule, discovered by the teams headed by Anne Marinier and Dr. Sauvageau in 2005, can transform the trajectory of patients severely affected by blood cancer, and lead them to the path of remission.

The UM171 not only multiplies stem cells, it rejuvenates them!

These cells then become more able to produce an improved immune system. This explains why patients having received these cells in a transplant quickly feel an overall improvement of their quality of life.

The UM171 molecule continues its progression in the anti-cancer arsenal and the results on patients are amazing. And it has many potential applications.
