2020:Reagents come into market,harvest in R&D and Production
In 2020, SYCC’s self‑developed cell reagent entered the market,and its product line expanded from single cell storage service to cell reagents and consumables.One invention patent and two utility-model patents were granted,with the IP system covering the full chain of cell preparation, storage and application.

2021: Multiple New Products & Maturing Product Matrix
SYCC obtained products approval period intensively in 2021,with four cell reagent products entered the market.In terms of academic achievement,a paper was published in Stem Cell Res Ther,focusing on primary cell and MSC conditioned medium research.SYCC edited Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells the same year.And two more utility-model patents were granted, innovation capacity continued to improve.

2022: Cutting‑Edge R&D & Patent Accumulation
In 2022, SYCC filed application documents for its self‑developed trauma‑regeneration product, extending its product portfolio into regenerative medicine.One invention patent and two utility‑model patents were granted, building patent barriers for cell culture equipment and clinical application technologies.

2023:Breakthrough Regenerative Medical Research and Iterate Products
In 2023,the company consistently expanded cell reagents portfolio, with one additional cell reagent obtained market approval.In terms of academic achievements,SYCC published a paper in Materials & Design and put forward novel ideas,earning international recognition for its regenerative medical research.One more utility‑model patent was granted, further advancing the company’s technical system.

2024:Layout of Medical Devices and Brand Building
2024 marked the upgrade of SYCC’s production capacity.Six Class‑III medical devices completed R&D work,marking a leap in technical and regulatory capabilities.Yahui Jiao , Director‑General of the Medical Administration Department of the National Health Commission, visited the company to inspect its regional cell technology service platform model.In terms of brand building,the company successfully registered enterprise trademarks【SYCC】, academic meeting trademark【Mozi Mountain】and【Mozi Mountain Forum】.Two invention patents and four utility-model patents were granted,covering multiple process links.The system of Intellectual property rights was further improved.The same year,SYCC contributed to the book Cell Therapy Theory and Practice,which promoted its industrial and academic influence.

2025: National‑Scale Expansion & Multiple Research Output
SYCC expanded into the Yangtze‑River Delta and established Hangzhou Cell Therapy Engineering Technology R&D Center Co., Ltd. in 2025,making an important step in national layout.The company obtained a cosmetic product with NMPA cosmetic filing,extending its product scope from medical application to consumer health. Three utility-model patents were granted.

2026: Top‑Journal Publications & New Research Heights
In 2026, SYCC published high‑impact papers in top international journals Briefings in Bioinformatics and Neuron, climbing to a new peak of R&D strength.One invention patent was granted, generating substantial impact for its technological products.
Over the decade, SYCC has developed from offering basic cell storage and preparation services to covering multiple categories of medical devices, cell reagents and cosmetic products. The intellectual property portfolio includes more than ten invention patents ,over twenty utility‑model patents ,and multiple industry monographs. SYCC has built a complete innovation chain spanning from fundamental research to product commercialization.
Ten years of craftsmanship and R&D have brought SYCC to new heights in product development.Standing at the new starting point of its ten‑year anniversary and guided by clinical demands, SYCC will strengthen the development of core technologies and high‑end products to further enrich its cell‑technology product portfolio. The company will deliver richer, higher quality products and services to meet the needs of clinical and public health, and write new chapters of technological innovation for high quality growth of China’s cell industry.

Shenyang Cell Center — looking forward to the next ten years.
