UAE stem-cell researchers have secured intellectual property (IP) rights for the new COVID-19 stem-cell treatment.

Initial results from trials have shown patients responding well to the treatment, after it was given to 73 individuals with moderate to severe coronavirus symptoms.

Researchers have confirmed that the treatment was effective and safe as an add-on to the standard care offered to patients.
