Positive Preclinical Data on Cell Therapy for Spinal Disc Repair Presented at 23rd Annual Meeting of the North American Spi...(generation thought to be the major cause...)

Date:10/16/2008

generation, thought to be the major cause of back pain, begins in the nucleus and is accompanied by cell death and tissue destruction. Cartilage regeneration is often called the "holy grail" of the orthopedic industry because of its potential to restore function to damaged joints and spinal discs which otherwise have limited healing potential. Cartilage serves as a "shock absorber", protecting all joints including spinal discs from the wear-and-tear experienced during motion.

ISTO Technologies, Inc. is an orthobiologics company focusing on the development of differentiated products for sport medicine, spinal therapy and trauma. ISTO's products are intended for the repair and regeneration of damaged or injured cartilage and bone.
