(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/12 -- Stem Cell stocks -- particularly companies focused on adult stems cells -- have performed well of late. Earlier this month Goldman Sachs noted the potential upside of Pluristem Therapeutics -- noting that the company does not use the highly controversial embryonic stem cells. The remark from the analyst firm helped drive shares of similar companies that use adult stem cells.

Cytori provides patients and physicians around the world with medical technologies that harness the potential of adult regenerative cells from adipose tissue. Last month Cytori filed its Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to begin a clinical trial of the Company's Celution System for chronic myocardial ischemia (CMI).
The company is currently using fat cell-derived stem and regenerative cells to develop treatments for heart disease and reconstructive surgery. According to a recent article from Reuters, to treat heart attack, a small amount of fat tissue is removed shortly after the heart attack, stem and regenerative cells are separated and concentrated and the cells are infused into the coronary artery to increase blood flow.
