The mission of Lineage Cell Therapeutics is to deliver on some of the early promises of cell therapy. Cell therapy as a concept is a wonderful idea, but many of the early efforts never generated the kind of clinical data that gets people excited and leads to new medicines. In some cases, cell therapy can be curative for the patient.
