Somebody knew about this yesterday. CYTX was up from $4.60 Thursday to $5.20 yesterday. Could it be?...insider trading!? Never!
For those that don't know, this is a stem cell company using ADULT stem cells (NOT controversial embryonic stem cells) Cytori has a system (Celution) that extracts a patients own fat, separates out their own fat-based stem cells, then cleans and re-mixes those stem cells into a solution to inject into the patient.
All this is done bed-side.
Applications include breast reconstruction after mastectomy, cosmetic breast enlargement, burn treatment, post heart-attack heart repair, among others.
A CYTX investor believes in the technology so much that he set up this web site explaining all things Cytori.

Potential is huge here, but will take several years for larger studies to prove efficacy.
