Ltd., a stem cell biotechnology company dedicated to the commercialization of autologous cell therapy products for a variety of degenerative, ischemic and other indications, announces the availability of adult stem cell banking in the United States beginning on June 20, 2013.

A controversial decree allowing severely ill patients to continue treatment with an unproven, and possibly unsafe, stem-cell therapy may be amended, if the Italian parliament’s Chamber of Deputies has its way.
[UPDATE, 22 May 2003 — The Chamber voted in favour of the amendments on 20 May, and the amendments were accepted by the Senate on 22 May. The amended decree thus becomes law, and Stamina Foundation therapy will be available only in the context of clinical trials. Stamina head Davide Vannoni says that he will not comply with the requirement to provide the therapy for trials, according to good manufacturing practice.]
Yesterday (16 May) the Chamber’s social affairs committee unanimously passed amendments to the decree that would allow the Brescia-based Stamina Foundation, which developed the therapy, to continue administering it. However, Stamina would be required to do so within regular clinical trials, under the oversight of regulatory agencies and using cells manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). A supervisory ‘observatory’ comprising experts and patient representatives would oversee clinical trial procedures.
