Cytori Therapeutics: Natural Celution for Breast Reconstruction Mike Havrilla submits:Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CYTX) is a leading global innovator in the emerging field of regenerative medicine using adipose (fat) tissue as a rich source of adult stem cells capable of differentiating into a variety of cell types. The company develops and markets cell banking (StemSource), therapeutic, and cosmetic medicine applications for its Celution System, which enables real-time, point-of-care regenerative cell therapy applications by harvesting and processing a small amount of patient-derived fat tissue in about one hour to harvest the adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells (ADRCs) with key corporate partners that include GE Healthcare (NYSE: GE), Olympus Corp. [TYO: 7733] (OCPNY.PK), and Green Hospital Supply [TYO: 3360].RESTORE-2 is a European study designed to evaluate the transplantation of ADRC-enhanced fat tissue into and around breast deformities. The adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) are extracted from a patient’s own fat tissue using Cytori’s Celution 800/CRS System, which received a CE Mark in 2007 for use in Europe. Data from this post-marketing study will also be used to support market adoption and insurance reimbursement for the procedure. The study is evaluating the use of cell-enriched fat grafting to restore functional and cosmetic deformities in women who have undergone partial mastectomy for early breast cancer.Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
