REMINDER: ORLive Presents: “The Discovery of C’elle(SM): Novel Adult Stem Cell Found in Menstrual Blood”
Virtual Broadcast Center Launches on July 10th at 12 Noon EDT to Present Ground-Breaking Stem Cell Research and Introduce C’elle, the Innovative New Service to Preserve Stem Cells Found in Menstrual Blood
OLDSMAR, FL–(EMWNews – August 7, 2008) – Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (
one of the largest and most established family cord blood banks, will
broadcast the discovery of breakthrough EMWNews“>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.”
On November 1, 2007, Cryo-Cell announced the introduction of C’elle which
enables women to collect stem cells found in menstrual fluid, which can be
cryogenically preserved in a manner similar to stem cells from umbilical
cord blood and may one day serve as a potential source for promising
regenerative therapies to treat heart disease, diabetes, neurological disorders like
spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s
and Alzheimer’s diseases, in addition to cosmeceutical applications
such as anti-aging therapies.
Preliminary research related to the immunological profile of these unique
menstrual stem cells suggests the that in addition to the donor, these stem
cells may also potentially be used to benefit other family members who are
genetically related to the donor, such as perhaps a parent, sibling or
child.
The virtual broadcast center will include details about the study, the cell
characteristics, information about several preclinical studies currently
under way, and an overview of the C’elle service.

Forward-Looking Statement
Statements wherein the terms “believes,” “intends,” “projects” or “expects”
as used are intended to reflect “forward-looking statements” of the
Company. The information contained herein is subject to various risks,
uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the results anticipated in such forward-looking statements
or paragraphs, many of which are outside the control of the Company. These
uncertainties and other factors include the uncertainty of market
acceptance of any potential service offerings relating to types of stem
cells other than cord blood stem cells, including the C’elle service, given
that menstrual stem cells and other new stem cells have not yet been used
in human therapies, and treatment applications using such stem cells are
not likely to be developed and commercialized for many years and are
subject to further research and development; the need for additional
development and testing before determining the ultimate commercial value of
the Company’s intellectual property relating to the menstrual stem cells;
the need to complete certain developments, including completion of clinical
validation and testing, before any new process other than C’elle can be
commercialized, and the Company’s development of its final business and
economic model in offering any such service; any adverse effect or
limitations caused by recent increases in government regulation of stem
cell storage facilities; any increased competition in our business; any
decrease or slowdown in the number of people seeking to store umbilical
cord blood stem cells or decrease in the number of people paying annual
storage fees; any adverse impacts on our revenue or operating margins due
to the costs associated with increased growth in our business, including
the possibility of unanticipated costs relating to the operation of our new
facility; any technological breakthrough or medical breakthrough that would
render the Company’s business of stem cell preservation obsolete; any
material failure or malfunction in our storage facilities; any natural
disaster such as a tornado, other disaster (fire) or act of terrorism that
adversely affects stored specimens; the costs associated with defending or
prosecuting litigation matters and any material adverse result from such
matters; decreases in asset valuations; any continued negative effect from
adverse publicity in the past year regarding the Company’s business
operations; any negative consequences resulting from deriving, shipping and
storing specimens at a second location; and other risks and uncertainties.
The foregoing list is not exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any
obligations to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements. Readers
should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the
Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB,
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed
by the Company.
