Upon execution, CRYO received the first year annual licensing fee.

“We are pleased to announce another international licensing agreement for our ATGRAFT tissue storage platform. This agreement will be the second licensing agreement and the third laboratory facility utilizing CRYO’s technology in the Asian market. This license furthers our corporate mission to establish a global network of laboratories operating under a standardized platform and utilizing our consumables for processing,” commented John Arnone, CEO of American CryoStem.

John Arnone further commented, “Working in the Japanese market presents an exciting opportunity for our technology to provide the foundational tissue processing and cryopreservation support platform required for the advancement of their rapidly expanding Regenerative Medicine and Cell Therapy market. This phase 1 licensing agreement covers the collection, processing and storage of adipose tissue, allowing our partners to grow and establish a presence in the market with the opportunity to take advantage of our full multi-phase stem cell expansion and differentiation platform in the future.”

Masato Tsumamoto, COO of Cell Source, commented, “The technology provided by American CryoStem serves as the initial step towards establishing our Company as the premier provider of high quality collected, processed and cryopreserved adipose tissue for aesthetic procedures and future therapeutic uses. The promise of utilizing stored tissue for long term fat grafting procedures in our clinics along with the ability to process the components of stored tissue for Regenerative Medicine uses in the future is a limitless opportunity.”
