| Melbourne, Australia, Dec 7, 2006 - (JCN Newswire) - Leading healthcare company CyGenics Ltd (ASX: CYN) today announced that it had been awarded the prestigious Technology Pioneer status by the Geneva-based World Economic Forum for advancing the field of adult stem cell cellular therapy, cord blood banking and technologies. Doctors now report rescuing infants from Krabbe's disease with an infusion of umbilical cord blood from an unrelated donor. They tell you to store your child's cord blood because if he gets sick, he could use the stored blood stem cells and there wouldn't be a need for a search for a bone marrow donor," Worth said. |
