TOKYO, May 16, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Early results were reported from an independent study in Japan using adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells for breast augmentation. Early results on the first three patients from this investigator-initiated study showed the increase in breast volume was maintained at three months and that the tissue remained soft and natural. The findings were reported earlier this week by the investigator, Tatsuro Kamakura, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Cosmetic Surgery Seishin, at the 94th Bi-Annual Congress of the Japan Society of Aesthetic Surgery (www.biyou-clinic.jp/jsas/).
"Volume retention and softness of tissue at three-months is extremely encouraging compared to typical outcomes in non-cell-enhanced fat transfers," said Dr. Kamakura. "If volume retention holds at nine-months, the augmentations can be expected to be permanent. Such results offer women a revolutionary new cosmetic surgery option for smaller volume augmentations, where a more natural look and feel is desired."
At three months, breast circumference in the first three patients remained stable at an average increase of 4 centimeters, which is equivalent to a 1.6 cup size increase. An average net volume of 160mL (less saline) of cell enhanced fat tissue was transplanted into each breast of each patient. The procedure to date has been found safe with no report of any adverse events. Patient follow-up is ongoing in this 20 patient investigator-initiated study. Nine-month results will be reported in early 2009, shortly after the last patient follow-up.
The study is using a procedure whereby a woman's fat tissue is enriched with her own adipose derived stem and regenerative cells to create a natural filler. This technique is referred to as cell-enhanced augmentation. The cells in the study were made available at the time of surgery using the Celution(R) 800 System from Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CYTX). Further results from the study will be available following a nine month assessment of the primary endpoints of cosmetic improvement and volume retention.
Fat, known medically as adipose tissue, is the body's richest known source of regenerative cells. Adipose-derived regenerative cells include adult stem cells in addition to other important cell types that have been shown pre-clinically to improve tissue retention compared to non- 'cell enhanced' tissue transfers. For this reason, these cells potentially may improve and simplify traditionally complex fat transfer procedures as well as enable more predictable outcomes and graft retention when applied to cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

2008 ist das Wachstum noch beschränkt aufgrund der Produktionskapazitäten. Für 2009 baut Olympus eine neue Fertigungslinie!
Tschau Gretel
Meldung habe ich aber auch keine.
Charttechnisch wäre das natürlich toll!
Jetzt schon auf 6,80 USD. Und ausbruch aus der Range mit hohem Volumen.,
Das geht jetzt hoch bis 5,60Euro! ;-)
Der Chart sieht trotzdem schön aus :-)
Damit schließt Du Kursverluste aus.
Irgendwann muss man die Dollars halt doch tauschen.
(Naja, wer's glaubt).
Aber warten muss man schon können.
Tschau Gretel
Kursziel Cytori soll 32 USD sein. Da kann man ja nur hoffen, das die wirklich etwas langfristiges Kapital mobilisieren. :-)

Cytori and Green Hospital Supply Expand StemSource(R) Cell Bank Commercialization Partnership
Friday June 6, 7:30 am ET
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CYTX - News) and Green Hospital Supply expanded the StemSource® Cell Bank commercialization partnership to include Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. As with the commercialization agreement for Japan, revenues from all related product sales will be shared equally between Cytori and Green Hospital Supply.
“Commercialization activities in Japan have resulted in a significant number of prospective customers not only in Japan, but throughout Asia,” said Seijiro Shirahama, president of Cytori Asia Pacific. “With Green Hospital Supply’s experience and knowledge of the region, we are able to take advantage of the existing product infrastructure to expand the revenue potential for the StemSource® Cell Bank.”
The StemSource® Cell Bank is being commercialized to hospitals in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand by Green Hospital Supply, Inc., in partnership with Cytori. The foundation of the StemSource® Cell Bank is Cytori's proprietary Celution® 900 System, which automates the separation and concentration of stem and regenerative cells residing within adipose tissue so they may be prepared for cryopreservation.

Cytori Receives Patent on Core Celution(R) System Technology
- Five Additional Celution(R)-Related Patents Received
Internationally -
SAN DIEGO, Jun 09, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CYTX) received Notification of Issuance from the United States Patent & Trademark Office for its core patent covering the Celution(R) System (USPTO # 7,390,484). This patent protects Cytori's key device technology, which processes adult stem and regenerative cells from adipose tissue at the patient's bedside.
"Cytori pioneered the concept of a bedside device to deliver a patient's own adipose derived stem and regenerative cells in a single procedure," said Marc H. Hedrick, M.D., president of Cytori and named inventor on this patent. "We believe the broad claims in the '484 patent establish a strong barrier-to-entry against potentially competitive cell processing systems and reinforces our leadership position in regenerative medicine."
The new U.S. patent is a central part of Cytori's global patent portfolio, which includes more than 150 pending patent applications and five new previously unannounced international patents. The new patents in Korea and Singapore cover Cytori's current Celution(R) devices. Cytori was also granted patents in Korea and Australia related to the Company's StemSource(R) Cell Bank. In South Africa, Cytori was granted a patent for using adipose derived stem and regenerative cells in cardiovascular cell therapy.
Celution(R) 800 is currently being sold into the reconstructive surgery market and the Celution(R) 900 System is being offered around the globe as part of the Company's StemSource(R) Cell Bank. This patent also covers the Celution(R) family of devices currently in co-development with Cytori's strategic partner, Olympus Corporation.
"The '484 patent is the key foundational patent within our intellectual property portfolio and offers Cytori long-term protection through at least 2024," said Christopher J. Calhoun, chief executive officer of Cytori. "Our patent portfolio works in concert with many other barriers-to-entry to protect all of our target markets for our first-in-class Celution(R) System."
