SAN DIEGO & NAGASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nagasaki University will sponsor and perform a clinical study on the use of cell-enhanced reconstruction in HIV therapy-induced facial atrophy, a condition where adipose (fat) tissue becomes unevenly lost, leaving patients with a gaunt appearance. The study will be funded through a three year, 58.5 million yen grant (approx. U.S. $600,000), which was awarded to Nagasaki University by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Cytori’s research team will collaborate with Nagasaki University to optimize the treatment formulation prior to commencement of clinical research.
