Cryo-Cell Announces C'elle(SM) Research and Development Collaboration with Cryopraxis Cryobi...( ...),Health

Oldsmar, Fla., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CCEL), one of the largest and most established leaders in stem cell innovation today announced a research and development collaboration agreement with Cryopraxis Cryobiology Ltd., a Brazilian-based global regenerative technology leader and stem cell research company. The partnership will allow Cryopraxis to conduct clinical studies using Cryo-Cell's proprietary C'elle(SM) menstrual stem technology (MenSCs) to identify potential future diagnostic and therapeutic uses in endometriosis and stress urinary incontinence in women.

Endometriosis is a painful condition that affects approximately five million American women. The condition is caused when the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, resulting in scar tissue that causes severe pelvic pain and may lead to infertility. Endometriosis is commonly diagnosed through laparoscopic procedures that are painful and invasive. Additionally, women often face an unusually long delay from the onset of their symptoms to diagnosis, with an average delay of ten years.

This partnership will support an exciting new area of research that will investigate potential benefits of a new and non-invasive way to test for endometriosis. The possible diagnostic test will be based on analyses of the menstrual blood stem cells, which will be collected using Cryo-Cell's proprietary C'elle system.

"This research will determine if the stem cells found in menstrual blood can accurately provide a diagnosis that is highly precise, and this approach would offer women the added benefit of being both non-invasive and cost-effective," stated Eduardo Cruz, founder & CEO of Cryopraxis Cryobiology Ltd. "Additionally, this new method would potentially allow for earlier diagnosis of the disease, and subsequently enable women
