iPS Cell–Derived Stem Cell Therapy for Fingertip Regeneration
This technology presents a regenerative medicine approach for treating fingertip loss by using nail stem cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The loss of fingertip can arise from burns, trauma accidents, crush injuries due to heavey machineries and tools. Fingertip amputations are currently managed with conservative treatments that often result in shortening and deformation, with limited options for restoring full form and function. By leveraging the regenerative potential of nail stem cells, this therapy aims to achieve structural and functional regeneration of the fingertip, including nail reconstruction. A patent has been filed for the method of generating nail tissues and nail stem cells from human iPS cells, supporting future clinical translation and application. Ideal Collaboration Partner: Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with an interest in advancing cell-based regenerative medicine therapies, particularly those with expertise in clinical development and commercialization. Core Technology: Differentiation of human iPS cells into Lgr6-positive nail stem cells, which contribute to nail formation and guide fingertip regeneration. Lgr6-positive marks a population of stem cells in the skin that can give rise to epidermis, sebaceous glands, hair follicles and reside in the nail matrix. Lgr6-positive nail stem cells support both nail regrowth and provide the epithelial signals needed to form a blastema for bone and soft tissue regeneration. Mechanism of Action: Nail stem cells serve as the source cells for nail tissue. Nail tissue indirectly stimulates fingertip granulation (blastema formation). Nail structures provide a biological scaffold to support proper fingertip regrowth. Preclinical Validation: In mouse models, transplanted nail stem cells formed keratinized structures supported by host vasculature. Transplanted cells migrated to the native nail stem cell niche and successfully integrated. Platform Advantage: Use of HLA knockout iPS cells reduces the risk of immune rejection and supports allogeneic application.  Medical/Clinical: Treatment of fingertip loss resulting from trauma such as burns, crush injuries, and accidents. Pediatric use where surgical reattachment is not feasible. Cosmetic/Restorative: Nail reconstruction after injury or congenital conditions. Future Directions: Foundation for broader regenerative medicine applications in nail and skin tissue repair. The technology enables fingertip regeneration by reactivating natural regenerative pathways through iPS cell–derived nail stem cells. Unlike existing treatments that primarily preserve residual tissue, this approach aims to restore both form and function. The application of HLA knockout iPS cell lines makes the therapy more widely applicable by minimizing immune compatibility concerns, supporting development toward scalable clinical solutions in regenerative medicine.

Engage: The platform features an interactive media library with flagship content such as variety shows, short films, and music videos, complemented by post-media activities like quizzes, challenges, and interactive discussions. Built on gamification principles—including points, badges, rewards, leaderboards, and community challenges—it fosters engagement across families, neighbours, and communities. By encouraging intergenerational participation, it enables seniors to enjoy meaningful content, stay socially connected, and lead a more fulfilling life. Moreover, the platform is tailored for Singapore’s local community, offering multilingual support in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay, and Hokkien. It also provides senior-friendly functionalities, including a health dashboard displaying key indicators (steps, exercise minutes, average heart rate, SpO₂, etc.), a smart calendar to track upcoming activities such as exercise, dance, art, and music, as well as reminders through push notifications for medication and programme adherence. This technology suite supports diverse applications across sectors, delivering primary benefits in senior care (e.g., active ageing centres and nursing homes) and extended use in hospitals and clinics for digital baseline testing and remote patient monitoring. It is also applicable in educational institutions and media platforms such as intergenerational programmes that blend arts, music, and health, as well as in corporate wellness and CSR initiatives. The system’s main differentiation lies in its software application, which can be adapted for compatibility with wearable watches that emit photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. Powered by an AI-driven computer vision engine and advanced machine learning models, it employs proprietary models to conduct senior-friendly functional tests, predict vital health indicators, and detect fall risks—eliminating the need for a physical coach. It offers a validated digital version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), along with exclusive programmes and proprietary in-house media content.
