San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2008 -- Dr. Gail Naughton, CEO of Histogen, Inc., a regenerative medicine company developing solutions based on the products of newborn fibroblasts, today addressed attendees at the 6th Annual Commercial Translation of Regenerative Medicine conference, taking place November 17-18, 2008 in London.
Dr. Naughton examined the growing bioaesthetic medicine industry, as well as shared Histogen's business plan for near-term regenerative medicine products focused on anti-aging and post-resurfacing treatments, at the event.
"Due to long timelines in the development of medical devices and pharmaceuticals, Histogen is taking advantage of the unique opportunity to enter the growing $4.5 billion global aesthetic medicine market, to help generate early revenues and allow the Company to continue to fund the development and clinical evaluation of future products," said Dr. Lawrence Rheins, President of Histogen Aesthetics LLC. "The newly formed Histogen Aesthetics division addresses this market, offering scientific and clinically-proven products based on Histogen's proprietary technology, for skin hair and nail products dispensed by physicians."
Histogen Aesthetics' initial product line will be focused on ReGenicaTM, the Company's unique complex made up of the naturally secreted growth factors, antioxidants and other synergistic bio-products that are produced by newborn fibroblasts.
