CRYO-SAVE BEGINS LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP WITH CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF HOLY HEART
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
A new collaboration has begun between the largest European family adult stem
cell bank, Cryo-Save, and Europe's most important Catholic university,
"Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore" (UCSC). Policlinico "Gemelli" University
Hospital based in Rome, Italy, is part of the UCSC Faculty of Medicine and
Surgery and is owned by the Vatican. The partnership aims at promoting and
improving knowledge on the cryopreservation of mesenchymal stem cells from the
umbilical cord tissue. Both parties strongly believe in the potential of their
use.
Cryo-Save has also obtained funding from the Italian Molise region (630.000
euro). The 'Go!!!' initiative subsidies the start-up of innovative companies in
this region and Cryo-Save has obtained funding for the development of
cryopreservation techniques of cord tissue, in Campobasso, at the 'Giovanni
Paolo II' Centre for Research and Training on High Technology.
Professor Giovanni Scambia, Head of the University's Department of Gynaecology
and Obstetrics and Scientific Manager for the UCSC, says
"The number of pathologies in which mesenchymal stem cells could play a role is
growing exponentially: there are over 2,400 studies on humans involving stem
cells. It represents a significant clinical opportunity for applications in
regenerative medicine."
Active in the collection, processing and cryopreservation of adult stem cells,
Cryo-Save is the leading international family adult stem cell bank. The
company's dedication to educating the public on the use of stem cells has led to
collaboration with the UCSC aimed at increasing the influence of this new and
exciting medical field.
Arnoud van Tulder, CEO of Cryo-Save, says
"The collaboration with UCSC and the Italian hospitals linked to it is a win-win
association between private and public entities that supports our company's
efforts to widely improve the knowledge of stem cell storage. It will increase
public awareness and further strengthen our leading position and business in
addition to helping to further develop therapeutic applications."
