somewhat currently in the middle of the rise to a double neck / shoulder rebound. and, yes, thus .08 seems reasonable.

More Financial Analysis Say Adult Stem Cell Research Companies Better


http://www.lifenews.com/bio1702.html


New York, NY (LifeNews.com) -- More financial analysts are saying that biotech firms that work with adult stem cell research are better prospects for investors than those working with embryonic stem cells. The news comes after lobbyists and lawmakers condemned President Bush for focusing federal taxpayer dollars on adult stem cell research.
Last week, LifeNews.com reported on one investment advisor who said companies relying on adult stem cells are more likely to provide payoffs for investors.
Other a nalysts say that adult stem cells companies like Osiris, Cytori, Aastrom should be monitored by investors for possible buys because they are more likely to get therapies on the market than companies using embryonic stem cells.

"From a Wall Street perspective, adult stem cells are a much better investment," Stephen Dunn of Dawson James Securities, told CNN. "These are the guys who are going to be in the news in 2007 and 2008."

"Embryonic stem cell research hasn't kept up pace with adult stem cell research," Dunn added. "Adult stem cell research is advancing so far you might not need embryonic stem cells. If the federal government is reluctant to put their money into it, then Wall Street is as well."

While embryonic stem cell research has seen numerous failures with animals and may be a decade or more away from producing any human therapies, adult stem cell research has already yielded dozens of treatments -- some of which may be at the market within years.

The Baltimore-based Osiris Therapeutics initially offered stock on August 4 and already has a product on the market called Osteocel that helps rebuild damaged bones.

The company would have advanced further in promoting the product, CNN reports, if not for having a hard time finding enough donors of bone tissue to build up its stem cell inventory.

Thus, while some politicians clamor for more taxpayer dollars for embryonic stem cell research that may never help patients, funds for obtaining more bone tissue would help patients today.

Osiris has another adult stem cell product, Prochymal, which helps patients with a life-threatening affliction called Acute Graft versus Host Disease. The same drug is also being tested for use in treating Crohn's disease.

Stephan Brozak, analyst for WBB Securities, told CNN he likes the product and reports he's seen show patients have experienced "remarkable results."

The company is in the final stages of clinical trials and will soon be ready to submit the drug to the FDA in 2007.

Dunn tells CNN he's bullish on another company, Michigan-based Aastrom Biosciences, which also develops an adult stem cell therapy dealing with regrowing bone tissue.

Meanwhile, the San Diego biotech Cytori Therapeutics uses adult stem cells from fat to rebuild damaged tissue. Via a liposuction technology called Celution, the company is taking the cells from a patient and reinserting them into the patient's body at the point of the problem.

The process is also being used to help improve heart function in patients with severe coronary artery disease. That could be sent to the FDA for approval in 2008 and the liposuction procedure could be sent to the FDA next year.

WBB Securities' Brozak says the FDA approval process for these new therapies may take longer because the science is newer, but he says these companies have a good shot at bringing the products to market.

More Financial Analysis Say Adult Stem Cell Research Companies Better

Adult stem cell biotechs: better prospects, less controversy
Several outfits are in the advanced stages of testing adult stem cells to help repair damaged bones as well as heart and breast tissue.,
By Aaron Smith, CNNMoney.com staff writer
August 9 2006: 3:37 PM EDT


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Embryonic stem cells might hold the secrets to curing paralysis and brain damage, but they've also garnered plenty of controversy with the anti-abortion lobby because they're harvested from embryos.

However, work using adult stem cells - which are donated by grown men and women - is not only free of such controversy, it's actually much closer to getting effective products on the market.

Work with adult stem cells isn't being held back by funding restraints and political opposition, analysts say.

"Embryonic stem cell research hasn't kept up pace with adult stem cell research," said Dunn. "Adult stem cell research is advancing so far you might not need embryonic stem cells. If the federal government is reluctant to put their money into it, then Wall Street is as well."

So while embryonic stem cell researchers are experimenting with rats, adult stem cell researchers have moved on to more advanced tests with humans. The embryonic-based stem cell treatments are probably a decade away, but the U.S. market could see its first adult-based stem cell treatments within the next couple of years.

We maintain two lists. One is for CalbaTech. Anyone who wants CalbaTech news releases, etc. is on that one.
We also maintain a list of about 1,200 individuals, brokers, others who seem to have a taste for micro caps, who have had success with our clients, and who want this information. We send to them information when I think it particularly relevant. We assist circa 15 companies so I don't want to overwhelm anyone with everything. I hope this helps.

Investors can take this to the bank: the promise and efficacy of stem cell therapies will ultimately trump the politics. The medical potential is simply too great to ease suffering, salvage patient lives and save the healthcare industry a massive slug of money. Not to mention throwing off some great investment opportunities.
Over 70 companies --the vast majority of them small or microcaps-- are doing some amazing work on stem cell therapies.

We have recently unearthed a great smallcap biotech company that deals directly in this realm and plan to bring it to you in the next week or two. In the interim, it would be to your benefit to get to know the ins and outs of the stem cell landscape

Here’s a link to several other stem cell companies worldwide. http://www.stem-cell-companies.com/. Be advised, many are in their formative stages. Careful review is warranted. As in every new sector, not all will prosper or even survive.

Profits soon. Well, pretty soon.

Revenues from current stem cell initiatives should begin to bite in a meaningful way by 2009, exploding to almost $4 billion-plus by 2015. Beyond that, the sky is likely the limit. Investors who see the potential, now, will likely garner the best returns as the scenario unfolds.

Nearly $15 billion will be spent over the next decade on both embryonic and adult stem cell research/therapies. States, such as California, recently passed a contentious initiative (Proposition 71), which earmarks $3 billion --by way a pending bond issue-- over the next ten years for stem cell research. Other states are looking at California’s lead to acquire stem cell funding in an effort to make up the R&D shortfall that has resulted from limited federal participation.

On the threshold of greatness. And profits

We believe that investors are on the threshold of a whole new and extremely exciting genus of therapies. While acknowledging the controversy around this sector, the over-riding fact is that the formative science is just too compelling to ignore both for healthcare and especially those patients suffering debilitating disease.

Is it too early to consider stem cell investing? Would it have been too early to buy Microsoft years ago or to be an early investor with a young(er) Warren Buffett? That’s the type of long-term trend we believe is in the early process of unfolding for stem cell companies. For those investors who have the patience and risk tolerance, there will be some very exciting names coming forward, including those that we will illuminate for readers.

The Two Types of Stem Cells.

Stem cells differ from other kinds of cells in the body. All stem cells—regardless of their source—have three general properties: they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods; they are unspecialized; and they can give rise to specialized cell types.

Adult stem cells are thought to reside in a specific area of each tissue where they may remain quiescent (non-dividing) for many years until they are activated by disease or tissue injury. The adult tissues reported to contain stem cells include brain, bone marrow, peripheral blood, blood vessels, skeletal muscle, skin and liver.

Globally, scientists are trying to find ways to grow adult stem cells in cell cultures and manipulate them to generate specific cell types so they can be used to treat injury or disease. Some examples of potential treatments include replacing the dopamine-producing cells in the brains of Parkinson's patients, developing insulin-producing cells for type I diabetes and repairing damaged heart muscle following a heart attack with cardiac muscle cells.

Embryonic stem cells as their name suggests, are derived from embryos after about five days. Specifically, these stem cells are derived from embryos that develop from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro —in an in-vitro fertilization clinic—and then donated for research purposes with the informed consent of the donors.

the stem cell issue is constantly being looked at and debated and since there have been several variences of stem cell usage the banking system will have to be one part that will be constant since all the stems need to be secured.Once real successes start getting printed then you can bet that health insurance providers will be looking at individual stem cell banking to protect the insurance companies in the long run.Hell as stated here before it may end up being a requirement by the health insurance companies to secure policies....face it people this technology is not going away and is only going to be enhanced and refined.

Medistem's International Affiliate ICM Granted License to Operate Adult Stem Cell Bank and Clinic; Opening of Pioneering Facility Represents Threshold Event in Medistem's Business Plan to Deliver Stem Cell Therapies
Business Wire - August 10, 2006 4:01 PM ET


Medistem Laboratories, Inc. (OTCBB:MDSM)(FWB:S2U), committed to the ethical development of next-generation medical therapies from non-controversial adult stem cell sources, has announced that its affiliate, the Institute for Cellular Medicine (ICM), has received approval from the Costa Rican Health Ministry to begin operations of its adult stem cell bank and clinic.

With the state-of-the-art stem cell bank and clinic now open, ICM will begin working hand-in-hand with medical doctors in the treatment of patients with stem-cell therapies based on Medistem's proprietary technologies. The ICM lab will apply Medistem's proprietary adult stem cell technologies that can be sourced from umbilical cords, placentas, fat, bone marrow, and muscle.

The opening of the ICM bank and clinic represents a critical milestone in Medistem's primary business plan to develop and deliver pioneering stem cell treatments on a fee-for-service basis through its international affiliates at facilities worldwide. Under its strategic business plan, Medistem with its affiliates plans to create potentially valuable intellectual property in the field of stem cell medicine.

The ICM laboratory will be one of the first stem cell banks in Latin America to produce the adult stem cells necessary for the development of stem cell based medical treatments. "We are very excited to be able to use Medistem's stem cell technology to produce stem cells for use by the medical community," said Dr. Fabio Solano, Medical Director of ICM. "We believe their technology holds a great deal of promise in the creation of important therapeutic solutions for seriously debilitating diseases."

The stem cell bank and clinic will work with the medical community in the treatment of patients with stroke, cerebral palsy and other neurological disorders. ICM also intends to develop treatments for a range of other health care needs, including cardiovascular disease.

Under a licensing agreement with ICM, which is controlled by Medistem's Chief Executive Officer, Medistem granted a license to ICM to use certain of its intellectual property and agreed to fund all necessary operating expenses in exchange for certain revenues and gross profits involving both adult stem cells and non-stem cell based activities.

Stem cell breakthrough in Japan
KYOTO, Japan, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Japanese researchers have been able to make adult cells act like embryonic stem cells, at least in mice.

Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University said he believes the technique could end the debate on the destruction of embryos to obtain embryonic stem cells, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. If it is as successful with human cells as it is with mice, early embryos or blastocytes would no longer be needed.

Yamanaka and his colleague Kazutoshi Takahashi found 24 genes that are expressed in early embryos. They found that a combination of four of these cells could make adult cells "pluripotent."

In other words, they became like embryonic stem cells and capable of differentiating into many kinds of cells.

In addition to bypassing the ethical dilemmas of embryonic stem cell research, the technique could solve the problem of rejection by allowing a patient's own cells to be used for treatment.

But Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology, a Massachusetts biogenetics company, warned there are potential pitfalls. He told the Journal Sentinel one of the genes involved is associated with cancer and the genetic manipulation also makes cells more prone to become cancerous.

The research was published in the journal Cell.

here is whats in the works for this week...

the stem cell banking system formally opens tomorrow on the 15th. we recieved info Friday that Calbatech is also in final negotiations with another Medspa company. The first Medspa company Solena will be opening 38 to 50 locations before year end and have already opened many so far. CLBE substantially owns a good portion of Solena and they are far more then just partners in this. CLBE will be profitable in 2006 per the CEO.....we expect the financials anytime now more then likely sometime today. Health care providers such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield will eventually require stem cell banking to qualify for insurance imo,that way they remove a lot of risk of long term health care issues per individual.IMO CLBE should be at or near .50'ish by year end but could go higher. I can see this hitting $2 to $4 within the next 12 to 18 months.The banking/theropy system is a double digit billion dollar market and growing and thats just one division of Calbatech.

Paul

You may think this is going out on a limb but have you or the company considered contacting the Governor of CA (Arnold)? Since he is pro stem cell research do you think he would consider getting the banking done? Hell give it to him free of charge because the publicity would be phenomenal!! maybe even some other celebs to!

(OTC Bulletin Board: CLBE), an emerging life sciences company (http://www.CalbaTech.com) concentrating on banking adult stem cells for possible future therapeutic uses and providing products and platforms to the biotech, pharmaceutical research market and to academic institutions, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, LifeStem, Inc. will begin operations of its Adult Stem Cell Microbank(TM) collection service on August 15th 2006.

LifeStem's Stem Cell Microbank(TM) Service is the nation's first service to collect micro quantities of adult stem cells from multiple tissue sources. "We have completed the validation of our protocols to guarantee that our service will run smoothly at the time of launch," said James DeOlden, CEO. "LifeStem and its partners are now satisfied with the vitality and viability of the cells that have been collected."

A number of individuals have already expressed interest in being the first to store their stem cells with LifeStem once the Service has begun. The company will begin enrolling clients immediately. LifeStem will also begin its marketing efforts immediately to take advantage of the time between today's date and the 15th of August to schedule other individual's stem cell harvests.

Additionally, CalbaTech, in coordination with LifeStem, announced that it will be offering a ten percent discount coupon for LifeStem's Stem Cell Microbank(TM) collection service, to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2006. The discount is available to the individual shareholder, or any member of the shareholder's immediate family at the shareholder's listed address.

CalbaTech's wholly owned subsidiary LifeStem has developed a unique process to harvest stem cells from two tissue sources, in micro quantities, to be cryopreserved for possible future therapeutic use. The collection of stem cells from two different tissue sources increases the potential for possible treatment options of more diseases.

Schwarzenegger Discusses Executive Action to Strengthen Stem Cell Research in Press Conference Friday
GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER:

Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Yesterday I directed my Department of Finance to loan up to 150 million dollars to the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. The court’s affirmative decision a few months ago in the Proposition 71 challenge leads me to believe that there’s no reason why we should not go and make this money available as soon as possible. I’m 100 percent committed to advancing stem cell research in California, and to the promise that it holds for millions of our citizens who suffer from chronic diseases. California is poised to lead not only the state but the country, and all countries, on stem cell research. We cannot fall behind other nations that make this life-saving science their priority. I believe it is critical that we take action to ensure continued progress of this revolutionary science. This is another opportunity of the people of California to lead the way.

Thank you. And now I would like to have my friend Bob Klein, who is actually the man that has led Proposition 71 to victory, come out and say a few words. Please.

the 10-Q is fair and shows absolutley no dilution from previous quarter which is great.The stem cell banking revs will be in Q-3 of course but as the CEO stated,CLBE will be profitable in 06 and they are surely on track. I figure we get a PR early tomorrow on the opening of the stem cell banking system.

one thing everyone can say...CLBE surely came thru and filed on time!!

FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS

LifeStem anticipates launching its Stem Cell MircoBank Service on August 15th, 2006. LifeStem has initially concentrated on medspa locations in Southern California. At a recent meeting of all of the current Solana Medspas, a large number of the medspas outside of California expressed enthusiasm as to being able to carry LifeStem's service outside of California and LifeStem is working to make that happen more rapidly than originally anticipated. As such, the Stem Cell MicroBank Service will be initially rolled out in California and then quickly move to other states such as Florida, New York and North Carolina. LifeStem is projecting $3,858,000 in revenues in the first twelve months of operation and $26,275,000 during the second twelve months of operation.

considering how many microbank openings are expected before year end not to mention the ones Calbatech is in partnerships with such as Solena I still believe the PPS could close the year out at or near .50's or even higher.Watch for news sometime today on the opening of the fist in CA.

CORPORATE MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
In order to accomplish its goals, CalbaTech is pursuing a strategy of combining products and technologies, and the companies that provide them, into the following divisions: 1) Molecular Applications; 2) Research Reagents; and 3) Cellular Therapeutics. By pursuing such a strategy, each division should produce value added and increasing returns on shareholders' investment through cross marketing of products and geographic expansion, as well as to achieve product enhancement and efficiency
KD MEDICAL, INC.
CalbaTech acquired KD in the last quarter of 2004. This acquisition substantially increased both product range and revenue in the Research Reagents Division. The product ranges of KD and Molecula are highly complementary, with little over lap. A strength of KD is in the supply of specialized media for culture of model research organisms such as bacteria, yeast, insects and mammalian cell lines. It also supplies products to approximately 300 National Institutes of Health ("NIH") laboratories, contracts invaluable for establishing new products in a favorable government setting. Its secondary products are related to molecular biology reagents. Conversely, Molecula's primary focus is in the design and supply of high value molecular biology reagents such as siRNA and DNA antisense oligonucleotides. It also has reagents such as IPTG that are complementary to customized media. KD believes that the addition of new product lines could significantly increase its revenues within the NIH, to as much as $5 Million annually, within the next five years. A large proportion of molecular biology research depends upon culture of a model organism (bacteria, fruit fly, etc.), which is genetically manipulated by transfection of customized oligonucleotides (siRNA). Thus, an alliance of KD and Molecula will be well placed to provide a competitive single source for these culture media transfection reagents and specialized modifier molecules such as siRNA. Further, as explained above, KD's long standing and trusted position, as a major in-house supplier to NIH will greatly ease entry of Molecula's siRNA into that major market. Please see www.kdmedical.com.
CUSTOMERS
KD Medical and Molecula service five distinct customer types: 1) Federally funded research centers such as the National Institutes of Health, the Naval Medical Center, and the National Cancer Institute; 2)Federally funded "Supply Stores" such as at the National Institutes of Health; 3) University and private research centers such as Glaxo Smith-Kline, Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co., Pfizer Research, and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals; 4) Medical distributors such as Fisher Scientific and VWR International; and 5) OEMs such as Genetix, Ltd. and PML Microbiologicals, Inc.
MARKET SIZE
The general laboratory supplies industry is 12 to $14 Billion, and the molecular biology market to which the Company provides products and services for medical research and drug discovery on which billions of dollars are spent each year. Specifically, the molecular biology market is approximately $600 Million per year, and the RNAi market is estimated to be $328 Million by 2010.
FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS
The Reagents Division has two companies with combined 2005 revenues of approximately $1.225 Million in gross revenues. CalbaTech believes that combined revenues within the division will be $1.5 Million in 2006. Within three years, it is anticipated that revenues will grow to $5 Million.
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
It is the Company's intention to protect its proprietary property through the filing of U.S. and international patent applications, both broad and specific, where necessary and reasonable. The Company believes it will attain strong and broad patent protection for its technologies. It is the Company's intention that all its products be protected under various pending patents, issued patents, copyrights and trademarks.
The Company has the policy of disclosing its proprietary information only under a Confidentiality Agreement. This Agreement has a special clause regarding ownership by the Company of all inventions related to, or based in any way upon, the Company's technologies.

CalbaTech Announces Six Month Revenues; LifeStem, Initially in California, Expects to Launch Service in Florida, New York, North Carolina and Other States in the Near Term
8/15/2006

IRVINE, Calif., Aug 15, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --
CalbaTech, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CLBE), an emerging life sciences company (http://www.CalbaTech.com ) concentrating on providing products and platforms to the biotech and pharmaceutical research market and to academic institutions, and banking of adult stem cells for possible future therapeutic uses, today announced its second quarter financial results.

Revenues for the first six months of 2006 totaled $655,122, up five percent from the same period in 2005. Revenues were down slightly in the second quarter, dropping from $310,525 in 2005 to $242,558 in 2006 because of down time while the Company moved two subsidiaries into a new facility. Gross profit increased and totaled $205,377 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $129,665 in 2005. Accounting for derivative liability recognition caused the company to achieve net revenues of approximately $13,000 for the six-month period, as compared to a loss of approximately $2.2 million for the same period in 2005.

The Company also announced that LifeStem, its wholly owned subsidiary, presented its Stem Cell MicroBank(TM) Service at a national convention of medspa owners and anticipates launching its MicroBank(TM) Service in Florida, New York, North Carolina and other states soon after the August 15th, 2006, California launch date. LifeStem is projecting $3.9 million in revenues in the first twelve months of operating the nation's first service to collect micro-quantities of adult stem cells from multiple tissue sources for future potential therapeutic use.

James DeOlden, CalbaTech CEO, said the Company anticipates that revenues will increase throughout the balance of 2006, not only due to launching LifeStem's Stem Cell Microbank(TM) Collection Service, but also due to two subsidiaries, Molecula, Inc. and KD Medical, Inc., having combined operations to be more efficient and having moved into a new facility that should increase quality and improve manufacturing capabilities.

The Nation’s First Medical Spa to Harvest Adult Stem Cells

GREAT ARTICLE!!!

http://www.usfranchisenews.com/News/..._200605051292/


Solana MedSpas, the nation’s foremost developer and syndicator of medical spas, has signed an agreement with LifeStem, Inc. to offer their unique Stem Cell MicroBank Service through the Solana MedSpas network. The announcement was made by John Buckingham, CEO and co-founder of Irvine, Calif.- based Solana MedSpas. LifeStem, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of CalbaTech, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CLBE), a publicly traded emerging life sciences company concentrating on providing products and platforms to the research market for biotech and pharmaceutical companies and to academic institutions.

“We are delighted to finalize our partnership with LifeStem,” Buckingham says, noting that Solana MedSpas will be the first medspa network to offer an adult stem cell collection service. “As Solana MedSpas continues to orchestrate the marriage of healthcare product innovation with our ever expanding medspa distribution channel, we are moving beyond aesthetic treatments to become a provider of medical services in a broader sense.” Solana MedSpas expects to have as many as 70 locations open by the end of 2006 and intends to offer the Stem Cell Microbank Service at key locations.

“We are extremely pleased that we have formalized an agreement with Solana MedSpas,” says LifeStem president Dan Fulkerson, “and are confident that many individuals within the Solana MedSpas client base will take advantage of our Stem Cell MicroBank™ service.” “By beginning with six locations and adding new outlets as Solana MedSpas debuts them, our conservative estimates project revenues in excess of $3 million over the first 12 months of operations with the potential to exceed $25 million in the next couple of years,” Fulkerson notes.

Recent research indicates that autologous (one’s own) adult stem cells provide advantages similar to embryonic stem cells without ethical controversy or the risk of rejection. Current scientific data supports the fact that adult stem cells hold the potential for treatment, cure and possible prevention of numerous afflictions such as heart disease, Parkinson’s Disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and spinal cord injuries. Other possible benefits include regeneration of cardiac tissue after heart attack, regeneration of joint surfaces to reverse the ravages of osteoarthritis and joint disease, augmentation of the body’s ability to heal after elective surgeries to improve healing and speed recovery, and boosting of the immune system’s ability to fight infection and even cancer.

About Solana MedSpas
Founded in July 2003, Solana MedSpas is the nation’s innovative leader in the development and syndication of medical spas. Solana MedSpas has created a new market segment by orchestrating the marriage of healthcare innovation with its ever expanding medspa distribution channel, making its proprietary content simultaneously available to its growing distribution network of uniquely branded medical spa facilities all over North America.

It seems the last few big runs I have been in, the MMs hold it down and even drop it after good news. They collect a lot of shares are people sell. Then the next day or two they run the crap out of it. See IGAI for an example. The 10Q came out the PPS dropped. Then next day it dropped big time to 0.0034, then 3rd day BOOM to almost 6 cents.

I'm not saying it will have an IGAI run, but it just seems thats what the MMs are doing these days.

CalbaTech Highlights Positive Report in Cell Online Magazine - Research Provides New Data That Further Supports Adult Stem Cell Banking Service
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CalbaTech, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CLBE), an emerging life sciences company (http://www.CalbaTech.com ) concentrating on providing products and platforms to the biotech and pharmaceutical research market and to academic institutions, and banking of adult stem cells for possible future therapeutic uses, today announced that a recent research report provides new data that initially suggests that cells collected during the Stem Cell MicroBank(TM) Service can be manipulated to mirror embryonic stem cells. The link to the article is http://www.cell.com/content/article/fulltext?uid=PIIS0092867406009767.

Much of the controversy surrounding embryonic stem cells centers on the destruction of the embryo caused during the harvesting of the stem cells. Researchers have largely focused their attention on embryonic stem cells due to the cell's plasticity or the ability of stem cells to differentiate into specialized cells of another tissue type. Advancements in therapies to date have been made because of the amount of resources provided to embryonic stem cell research.

This report, however, may signal a shift in focus by researchers as the plasticity in adult stem cells is better understood. Using autologous stem cells at the time of transplantation might also overcome a major unknown hurdle related to embryonic stem cells, that being possible tissue rejection. Proponents of embryonic stem cell research rarely discuss this potential limitation, while the transplantation of autologous adult stem cells should not result in tissue rejection.

CalbaTech's wholly-owned subsidiary, LifeStem has created a multi-tissue, autologous adult stem cell banking service that allows adults to bank their own stem cells for possible future therapeutic use.

LifeStem's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jason R. Van Tassel noted that in this study, the cells were generated from adult cultured fibroblasts under specific conditions whereby the cells were grown in the presence of several transcription factors expressed by embryonic stem cells. These cells were then implanted into both mouse embryos and adult mice and differentiated into the three cell lineages seen in early development. This could be the 'holy grail' for autologous banking of adult stem cells.

'Further in-vitro directed differentiation of these induced stem cells to specific cell types could provide a limitless source of a variety differentiated cells for numerous human therapeutic applications. We are entirely encouraged by this new data and we believe that it brings new concrete evidence that autologous adult stem cell banking is the proper strategy for patients to benefit from this emerging field,' said Dr. Van Tassel. The study did show, however, that when these induced stem cells were transplanted into adult mice, several mice developed tumors. Dr. Van Tassel continued, 'This is to be expected in a preliminary study where such highly undifferentiated cells were implanted. Furthermore, subsequent differentiation of these populations should eliminate the risk of malignancy in therapeutic applications.'

LifeStem, Inc. has launched its Stem Cell MicroBank(TM) Service in California and expects to add Florida, New York, North Carolina and other states in the very near future. LifeStem is projecting $3.9 million in revenues in the first twelve months of operating the nation's first service to collect micro-quantities of adult stem cells from multiple tissue sources for future potential therapeutic use.

Review IGAI's 1300% run. Psychologically a PR comes out, everyone assumes it will run. So the MMs actually lower the PPs, people bail, MMs collect cheap shares, then they run it when they are ready. They, of course win.
