LA JOLLA, Calif., Dec. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Although demand and interest in adult stem cell therapies are increasing, it has been challenging for physicians, patients and policy-makers to retrieve the most current and accurate information available. Cell Society International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the clinical applications of adult stem cell therapies worldwide. Cell Society firmly believes that cell therapies offer improved medical treatment for many complicated and hard to treat diseases/injuries.
According to Steven R. Cohen, M.D., F.A.C.S, Executive Director, "We know that the body has the natural ability to repair itself in limited circumstances, such as wound healing. As physicians and scientists it is exciting for us to find a way to harness those mechanisms, concentrate them, and use them in many ways to regenerate tissue and repair injury from a variety of diseases. We invite leading physicians, researchers, and patients to join Cell Society and share their experiences across the spectrum of clinical applications of adult stem cell therapy."
The 2nd Annual Clinical Meeting of Cell Society will be held at the Coronado Island Marriott Resort in San Diego, California on February 17 18, 2012. International and national clinical researchers and thought leaders will share current information on adult stem cell applications in the fields of cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, plastic surgery and urology. The conference will feature two days of presentations. The first day will offer clinical updates on cell therapies in plastic surgery, wound healing, urology, cardiac disease, stroke, MS, bone healing and cartilage regeneration, to name a few, as well as industry updates from leading developers of cell therapies and medical devices. The second day will begin with a panel discussion "The Practice of Medicine and Government Regulation: The Rubicon," and will end with specialty specific workshops. These workshops will be led by expert faculty and leaders in adult stem cell clinical study, and will provide the opportunity for deeper discussion and better understanding of the potential of adult stem cell therapies in treating a variety of conditions. Workshop content will empower physicians to better understand the future of adult stem cell therapy treatment options.
About Cell Society International: Cell Society was formed in May, 2010, to serve as an independent source of educational information for all interested in clinically relevant adult stem cell therapy applications. As a nonprofit mutual benefit corporation, Cell Society will utilize the expertise of its industry members as well as the cooperation of patients, their physicians and world thought leaders to advance the clinical applications of adult stem cell therapies worldwide.
