Want To Bank Your Own Stem Cells?

The article, "Want To Bank Your Own Stem Cells?", found at BusinessWeek.com, discusses a market that may be viable for our flow restriction device. The article states the potential power for stem cells is limitless and people should be ready to bank their own stem cells in order to be ready when regenerative therapies hit the market. A recently founded company, NeoStem, may have a need for our device. The main question surrounding the flow restriction device is whether it will sell or not.

Denis Rodgerson is the CEO for NeoStem, a company that allows people to bank their own stem cells, in case they are needed someday. Studies have shown that stem cells can later be grown into heart cells, brain cells or even used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The process of banking one's own stem cells involves the separation of the cells from bone marrow using a centrifuge. Rodgerson believes the company has potential and believes the evidence found in research is good enough to make stem cell banking a profitable proposition. This is just one of many opportunities where our company feels as though it can make an impact with our flow restricitor device.

  1. ...market that might be viable.... SO WHAT?? WHY DO I CARE??? You need an ACTION in X!!!!!! The rest of it is thus meaningless, because you have no point to make.
