RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., Jan. 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ThermoGenesis Corp. (KOOL), a leading supplier of enabling technologies for the processing, storage and administration of cell therapies, today said it has sold its ThermoLine plasma freezer and thawer product line to Helmer Scientific for an undisclosed sum of cash. ThermoGenesis received the payment during the quarter ended December 31, 2012. "As was the case with our divestiture of the CryoSeal product line in mid-2012, this transaction is part of our long-term strategy to focus on our core business of developing enabling technologies for the stem cell regenerative medicine market," said Matthew Plavan, Chief Executive Officer of ThermoGenesis. "The proceeds from this transaction will be used to fund market development programs for our cord blood and bone marrow stem cell processing and storage offerings. In addition, this divestiture will reduce some operating costs and free up internal resources that were previously used to provide customer support and service for ThermoLine customers," he added. Helmer Scientific is a world leader in providing specialized scientific products that aid customers in their efforts to improve and save lives. Based in Noblesville, IN, Helmer provides solutions for storage and processing in the blood bank and … Continue reading →

Boca Raton parents Gary and Judy Susser say the know the hope and promise of stem-cell therapy. Nine years ago they traveled to Mexico for stem cell injections for their son Adam, who has cerebral palsy. "Maybe it will do some good," Gary Susser said he and his wife thought at the time. They spent $25,000. But the Sussers stopped stem cell injections in 2005, after spending about $25,000 and seeing no improvement. Now armed with more information, the Sussers are grateful the treatments didn't harm Adam, now 12. While they are advocates of "responsible" stem cell research, they warn other parents against making trips to Costa Rica, Mexico, Russia or other offshore clinics for experimental treatments. With promising breakthroughs making the news, as well as Internet hype, desperate parents and seriously ill patients may look to stem-cell therapy as the modern miracle that could cure them. And one day, stem cells may be routinely used to repair damaged cells, improve the treatment of diseases and even cure paralysis. But there are hidden dangers to today's stem cell treatments, both in the U.S. and offshore, scientists said at the recent World Stem Cell Summit in West Palm Beach. They pointed … Continue reading →

When cosmetic surgeon Allan Wu first heard the woman's complaint, he wondered if she was imagining things or making it up. A resident of Los Angeles in her late sixties, she explained that she could not open her right eye without considerable pain and that every time she forced it open, she heard a strange clicka sharp sound, like a tiny castanet snapping shut. After examining her in person at The Morrow Institute in Rancho Mirage, Calif., Wu could see that something was wrong: Her eyelid drooped stubbornly, and the area around her eye was somewhat swollen. Six and a half hours of surgery later, he and his colleagues had dug out small chunks of bone from the woman's eyelid and tissue surrounding her eye, which was scratched but largely intact. The clicks she heard were the bone fragments grinding against one another. About three months earlier the woman had opted for a relatively new kind of cosmetic procedure at a different clinic in Beverly Hillsa face-lift that made use of her own adult stem cells. First, cosmetic surgeons had removed some the woman's abdominal fat with liposuction and isolated the adult stem cells withina family of cells that can … Continue reading →
