Current report
Additionally, on August 4, 2025, we received a notification letter from the Staff notifying us that we do not meet the requirement in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities, or MVLS, of $35.0 million that is required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
Reworded paragraphs (7)
Previous wording
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern may materially and adversely affect the price per share of our Common Stock, and it may be more difficult for us to obtain financing. If existing or potential collaborators decline to do business with us or potential investors decline to participate in any future financings due to such concerns, our ability to increase our cash position may be limited. The perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may cause others to choose not to deal with us due to concerns about our ability to meet our contractual obligations. We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we will be forced to delay, reduce, or discontinue our research and development programs or consider other various strategic alternatives and you could lose all or part of your investment in us.

Previous wording
The manufacture of biologic cell therapy product candidates, and products, if approved, is complex and requires significant expertise and capital investment, including developing advanced manufacturing techniques and process controls. Manufacturers of biologic products often encounter difficulties in production and sourcing, particularly in scaling up or out, validating the production process, and assuring high reliability of the manufacturing processes (including the absence of contamination), in light of variations and supply constraints of critical components. These problems include logistics and shipping, difficulties with production costs and yields, quality control, including consistency, stability, purity, and efficacy of the product, product testing, operator error, and availability of qualified personnel, as well as compliance with strictly enforced federal, state, and foreign regulations. For example, timelines for our planned twelve-week Phase 1/2 clinical trial utilizing CYWC628 for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in Australia have been extended as we work with our CDMO to resolve process issues with the manufacturing training run and increase the number of test manufacturing runs needed to confirm no sterility issues before we begin the manufacture of CYWC628 for the clinical trial. Furthermore, if contaminants are discovered in our supply of our product candidates or in the manufacturing facilities, such manufacturing facilities may need to be closed for an extended period of time to investigate and remedy the contamination. We cannot assure you that any stability, purity, and efficacy failures, deficiencies, or other issues relating to manufacturing our product candidates will not occur in the future.

We have contracted with CDMOs for the production of our master cell banks and working cell banks for our fibroblast cell-based product candidates to enable clinical trials. If the CDMO is unable to produce our master cell banks, working cell banks and our fibroblast cell-based product candidates to enable clinical trials, we may encounter delays, additional costs, or technical failure of one or more of our product candidates. For example, timelines for our planned twelve-week Phase 1/2 clinical trial utilizing CYWC628 for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in Australia have been extended as we work with our CDMO to resolve process issues with the manufacturing training run and increase the number of test manufacturing runs needed to confirm no sterility issues before we begin the manufacture of CYWC628 for the clinical trial.

Previous wording
As product candidates proceed through preclinical studies to late-stage clinical trials towards potential marketing approval and commercialization, it is common that various aspects of the development program, such as manufacturing methods, formulation, materials, and processes, are altered along the way in an effort to optimize processes and product characteristics. Such alterations can also occur due to changes in manufacturers. Such changes carry the risk that they will not achieve their intended objectives. Any such changes could cause our product candidates to perform differently and affect the results of planned clinical trials or other future clinical trials conducted with product candidates produced using the modified manufacturing methods, materials, and processes. Such changes may also require additional testing, FDA notification or FDA approval. This could delay the completion of clinical trials, require the conduct of bridging clinical trials or the repetition of one or more clinical trials beyond those we currently anticipate, increase clinical trial costs, delay approval of our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to commercialize our product candidates if approved. In addition, we may be required to make significant changes to our upstream and downstream processes across our pipeline, which could delay the development of future product candidates. For example, we encountered process issues with the manufacturing training run of CYWC628 and will need to increase the number of test manufacturing runs needed to confirm no sterility issues before we begin the manufacture of CYWC628 for the clinical trial. These issues have caused us to extend the timelines for the initiation and completion of our planned twelve-week Phase 1/2 clinical trial utilizing CYWC628 for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in Australia. If changes are needed to the manufacturing methods for CYWC628 as a result of these issues, the timing for the initiation and completion of our clinical trial in Australia may be further delayed.

Previous wording
We do not have complete control over all aspects of the manufacturing process of, and are dependent on, our contract manufacturing partners for compliance with cGMP regulations for manufacturing our cell therapy product candidates. Third-party manufacturers may be unable to comply with cGMP regulations or similar regulatory requirements outside the United States. If our contract manufacturers cannot successfully manufacture material that conforms to our specifications and the strict regulatory requirements of the FDA, the EMA, or other regulatory authorities, we will not be able to produce our product candidates. In addition, we do not have control over the ability of our contract manufacturers to maintain adequate quality control, quality assurance and qualified personnel. For example, we are currently working with our CDMO to resolve process issues with the manufacturing training run of CYWC628 and to complete additional test manufacturing runs needed to confirm no sterility issues before we begin the manufacture of CYWC628 for our planned twelve-week Phase 1/2 clinical trial utilizing CYWC628 for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in Australia. If these issues are not resolved, we will be unable to manufacture CYWC628 for our planned clinical trial in a timely manner. If the FDA, the EMA, or a comparable foreign regulatory authority does not approve these facilities for the manufacture of our product candidates or if it withdraws any such approval in the future, we may need to find alternative manufacturing facilities, which would significantly impact our ability to develop, obtain marketing approval for or market our product candidates, if approved. Our failure, or the failure of our third-party manufacturers, to comply with applicable regulations could result in sanctions being imposed on us, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or recalls of product candidates, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which could significantly and adversely affect supplies of our product candidates and harm our business and results of operations. Furthermore, the raw materials for our product candidates may be sourced, in some cases, from a single-source supplier. If we were to experience an unexpected loss of supply of any of our product candidates or any of our future product candidates for any reason, whether as a result of manufacturing, supply, or storage issues or otherwise, we could experience delays, disruptions, suspensions, or terminations of, or be required to restart or repeat, any pending or ongoing clinical trials.
