LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - November 16, 2007) - NeoStem, Inc. (AMEX: NBS), a leading-edge biotechnology company capitalizing on breakthroughs in the burgeoning field of adult stem cell therapeutics, has expanded its collection center network to Henderson, NV. The first official collection of adult stem cells in Nevada using NeoStem’s process will occur during the Grand Opening on Wednesday, November 28. The stem cells will be cryopreserved for the individual’s personal future use in times of medical need. NeoStem is the first company to provide adult stem cell collection and banking services to the general population. The concept is basic, and the procedure is simple. Like donating blood, adult stem cells are extracted from a blood draw, clinically separated, and prepared for long-term storage preservation utilizing NeoStem’s proprietary processes and technologies. Individuals may use their stored stem cells for therapeutic transplant in any licensed transplant center in the US for approved therapies. “It is a relatively simple, yet powerful way to protect long-term health,” said Robin Smith, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NeoStem.
