Cryo-Cell Launches Virtual Broadcast Center,“The Discovery of C’elleSM: Novel Adult Stem Cell Found in Menstrual Blood

10:42AM, July 9, 2008
Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (OTCBB: CCEL.OB), one of the largest and most established family cord blood banks, will broadcast the discovery of breakthrough stem cell technology and the launch of C’elle, the world’s first service for women to store their own menstrual stem cells for future use. Produced by OR Live, results will launch on Thursday, July 10th, at 12 noon EDT.
Cryo-Cell’s discovery shows new scientific evidence that menstrual flow, which results from the shedding of the uterine lining (endometrium) during menstruation, contains millions of stem cells that have many properties and characteristics similar to those of both bone marrow and embryonic stem cells.
Through several independent laboratory research studies, these menstrual stem cells have demonstrated the capability in vitro to differentiate into neural, cardiac, bone, cartilage, and adipose cells and possibly other cell types. Although research is preliminary, given their properties, Cryo-Cell believes that these menstrual cells demonstrate compelling promise to transform regenerative medicine in coming years.
“Stem cells isolated from menstrual blood are multi-potent, highly prolific and readily accessible,” said Julie Allickson, PhD, MS, MT (ASCP) Vice President of Laboratory Operations and Research & Development. “These novel stem cells demonstrate characteristics of both bone marrow mysenchemal stem cells and embryonic stem cell markers that may potentially demonstrate significant promise for future use in clinical regenerative medical therapies.”
