Global Stem Cells Group and Adimarket Announces Agreement with MyStem to Distribute Stem Cell Technology Products in Latin America
Adimarket , a division of Global Stem Cells Group, has signed an agreement to distribute Mystem stem cell technology in Latin America
MIAMI (PRWEB) December 06, 2015
Adimarket, Inc., a leading provider of in-office regenerative medicine solutions, has reached an agreement with MyStem to promote and distribute their stem cell technology products throughout Latin America.
MyStem develops and manufactures regenerative products for use in orthobiologics (ortho, trauma, spine), sports medicine, plastic surgery, aesthetics and dermatology treatments.
MyStem products include the innovative adipose-derived regenerative fraction device MyStem X2, a disposable collection and separation system for autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSC). The MyStem device collects regenerative fraction without any extensive tissue manipulation, according to requirements established under international laws, in a completely safe closed sterile system. The regenerative fraction separation process is based on cells intrinsic parameters in a liquid fraction according to fluidic laws.
After the separation process, a concentrated regenerative cells fraction suspension is ready for use in a one-step procedure. MyStem offers an enhanced method for isolating and quickly expanding a robust population of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from lipoaspirate in less than 30 minutes. This isolation process yields a generous population of ASCs (~100,000 cells per 100 ml of blood/saline collected from sonicated lipoaspirate) with differentiation potential, characteristic cell surface markers, and proliferative lifespan indistinguishable from MSCs extracted from bone marrow (BMSCs) or conventionally processed ASCs.(1,2 ).
The MyStem process is simple, with no centrifuge needed. Quality sampling is not operator dependent, and collects up to 1,000 times more than the bone marrow MSC + growth factors.
MyStem Managing Director Pier Ivona calls the new alliance with Adimarket a natural fit, since both companies share a deep commitment to getting critical regenerative medicine tools to the clinicians in Latin America who need them.
“Global Stem Cells Group and MyStem are both pioneers in stem cell research and innovation, and we share the same goal of making stem cell therapies available globally,” Ivona says. “We believe that this is the perfect time to team with Global Stem Cells Group and its Adimarket division to distribute MyStem technology throughout Latin America’s fast-growing medical community.”

Global Stem Cells Group, Inc. Announces Collaboration with VidaCel Laboratories and Stem Cell Bank, Chile
Global Stem Cells Group announces a new alliance with Santiago, Chile-based VidaCel Laboratories, Latin America’s oldest and largest cryopreserved umbilical cord blood bank.
MIAMI (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 25, 2015
Global Stem Cells Group has announced a new collaboration with Santiago, Chile-based VidaCell Laboratories, Latin America’s oldest and largest cryopreserved umbilical cord cell bank. The alliance is focused on creating new protocols for cryopreservation of cord blood, cord tissue, adipose tissue and dental pulp stem cells, and the culture and expansion of cell colonies.
The GSCG / VidaCel alliance will provide both companies broader access to the newest stem cell technologies for application in new territories. With Global Stem Cells Group’s growing presence in Latin America, the collaboration with VidaCel will eliminate the potential for significant delays in collecting and processing stem cells, which can result in a loss of cell viability.
According to Global Stem Cells Group CEO Benito Novas, the rules of the National Program for Bone Marrow Donation in the U.S. provide the guidelines used by VidaCel for processing cord blood cells within 24 hours.
“VidaCel’s location in Chile guarantees immediate availability of cells,” Novas says.
“Their process of collecting, processing and preserving stem cells is performed under the strictest standards of biosecurity, and designed to better safeguard the material over a lifetime, which makes them a perfect collaborator for Global Stem Cells Group.”
Tissue stem cells, or mesenchymal stem cells, harvested from umbilical cord blood and tissue, can differentiate and generate cells of different tissues, mainly connective or supportive, such as bone, cartilage or muscle. Studies show that they can also participate in the process of tissue regeneration through other mechanisms such as immunosuppression, production factors and cell stimulators present in tissue or a damaged organ. Tissue stem cells also have characteristics that allow them to adapt fairly easily to the action of the immune system of an individual, which is why they are essential for use in allogeneic procedures in which immunologic compatibility is a factor.
Stem cells harvested from adipose tissue can differentiate into bone, cartilage, tendon and muscle, and can strengthen defensive and regenerative function. Adipose stem cells are found in adipose (fat) tissue.
Stem cells harvested from dental pulp can also differentiate into bone, cartilage, tendon and muscle to reinforce their defensive and regenerative function. These cells are found in the teeth.
Over time, the body’s stem cells succumb to environmental insults, a common occurrence in the aging process. Cryopreserving stem cells from young patients at an early stage means preserving their maximum viability.

The Global Stem Cells Group GMP facility is equipped with the most advanced technologies available, and is operated by a world-class team of qualified medical researchers and practitioners, experienced in administering stem cell protocols using highly manipulated cells.
GMPs are critical for cell therapy success. Understanding and incorporating GMP standards in clinical and pre-clinical research settings establishes a solid foundation on which to build clinical trials and to ensure the safety of biologic products. Good manufacturing practices ensure the safety and efficiency of stem cell products and the patients who receive them. The fundamentals of GMCs are also becoming an important part of the training received by academic researchers in the biotechnology industry, who are at the forefront of developing products for eventual clinical use.
The Global Stem Cells Group GMP 1000 facility will begin receiving international patients in early January 2016.
The GSCG therapeutic center in Santiago—a separate facility from the CMP 1000—will begin seeing international patients as of Dec. 1, 2015 to make its stem cell therapies and facilities available to international patients as well.
