Thanks for the info, i figured this would start getting some decent reviews/ coverage. only a matter of time just need to be patient.
Lots of potential here! This is being featured on a number of different stock pick sites as a strong buy. Only a matter of time before we are rewarded.
Major Breakout coming IMO if you dont believe it just watch and see within the next few weeks. All imo
Great news for a good product! We should see some nice gains within the next few months.
Fcsc could be $100 per share and this guy will still be on here saying that its not a good play and we were stupid for buying.
Check out FCSC Fibrocell Science big things to come IMO
Just curious, are you a stock owner in this company or just come on here to post negative sh;t? Either you got screwed at one point by this stock or got out before we started seeing nice gains. With that in mind you may want to pony up and by some shares because this is about to blast.
Huge volume for this today. Big things to come IMO.
I thought it would pull back more throughout the day but it appears to be someone who got cold feet. With the meeting coming up and positive results from trials I expect the gains to continue. This stock traded between $25-50 at one point.
I got in at .14 on the pinks but at this rate I may pick up some more shares. Anyone else buying in at this price?

At this rate $8 should be a breeze!!!
Wild swing so far today! Went over $6....something is up. News is coming I can feel it.
Stop hating on Fibro, I highly doubt that a company would go from otc to NYSE then tank especially with Kirk at the wheel. Do some dewdiligence and see what kind of moves this guy has made in the past. This isnt the same fibrocell from back in the day. This guy has turned piles of sh%t into roses many times.
Good things to come in the near future, this is setting up to be a major play. Too bad not enough people have noticed the potential. Over $10 by years end IMO.

ok, if im reading this correctly then reducing the shares should make the stock more valuable.
New SEC filing : This is on the agenda for the July 19th meeting.
To approve an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to reduce the Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock from 1,100,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares of common stock.
Be prepared to make some money, this is about to take off and soon!
Almost 25% gains in 5 days!!!!
At this rate $6.00 shouldn't be hard to obtain. There must be some news coming out or something for this to gap up so fast, its been green for 8/9 days.
Nice gains today so far! $5.00 just around the corner at this rate!
Slowly creeping back up !! $5.00 is just around the corner, this should gap up within the next few weeks. IMO
I agree 100% longs will be rewarded on this one very soon imo. Kirk is no dummy and will no let this stock evaporate after being upgraded to NYSE. $$$ in the bank for longs.
Randall kirk dumped a lot of money into this and from his track record he has a pretty good eye for picking investments.
Your right, it may go up and tank but this should be the beginning of things to come. My guess is the company has a lot more planned within the next 6 months to year or they wouldn't waste the time and effort to get this on a larger exchange just to get delisted.
this will bring in some serious investors and raise the share price over time. They are making some great moves and for longs this should mean $$$$$$$$$$$
Scottrade never fails for OTC and pennies.
Good to see some action in here! This stock should see some nice action real soon I would hope.
They spoke about trading this on a larger exchange however I haven't heard any updates. This will start to see some serious activity if that is to happen.
Looks like patience has paid off! This is only the beginning of what is to come in my opinion.
Ditto! This is setting up to be a monster play if just a few of the cards fall into place.
This doctor is already talking like this is approved if I read this correctly. The sky is the limit imo for this stock.
http://pfrankmd.com/laviv-treatment.html
We should see some significant gains in the near future imo. Too many heavy hitters behind this operation.
Strong buy imo! I would think the sky is the limit for a company in this field and they are talking about a split in august. The main investor that spent 40million is involved in some of the larger pharm. companies around. The potential is huge for this especially with the fibroblasts for burn victims etc. and general plastic surgery. My understanding is that Barclays is starting to cover this stock and once it is on a reputable exchange then major investors will start to take notice and this should start to turn heads. IMO
EXTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Fibrocell Science, Inc. (FCSC) reported its financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2012.
“2012 has been a pivotal year for Fibrocell,” said David Pernock, Fibrocell Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In 2012, Fibrocell launched, LAVIV® (azficel-T), an autologous fibroblast cell product indicated for improving the appearance of smile-line wrinkles and the company’s first FDA-approved product. LAVIV has been in the market on a limited basis for the past year and the response from physicians and their patients has been positive. As one of only eight cell-based products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), LAVIV is the first and only approved for aesthetic use and is the only one that utilizes the patient’s own fibroblast cells.
Fibrocell is now working to develop a deep and meaningful pipeline of premium, first-in-class products based on its autologous fibroblast technology. To that end, the company has embarked on a collaboration with Intrexon Corporation that will focus on rare genetic collagen deficiencies. The Company also plans to initiate multiple Phase II clinical programs in restrictive burn scars and in vocal cord scars in 2013.
“2012 was clearly a watershed year for Fibrocell. We established the viability of our core fibroblast technology with LAVIV® and are working to unlock its potential in medical and aesthetic areas with significant unmet need,” said Mr. Pernock “Having successfully raised more than $40 million in new capital, we can now pursue additional indications for our autologous fibroblasts in areas with a significant and unmet medical need such as restrictive burn scars, vocal cord scars, and recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). Fibrocell is at and will remain at the leading edge of personalized regenerative medicine. In the coming weeks we intend to provide detail on these activities and others.”
LAVIV® Highlights
LAVIV continues to receive favorable recognition in national beauty and fashion magazines. It has also received numerous awards for innovation, including recognition in the 12th Annual Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Awards program.
Commercially, 2012 was devoted to introductory marketing of LAVIV and to helping leading physicians gain clinical experience using this new technology. The introductory price for LAVIV, which is below our cost of manufacturing, was intended to stimulate usage and clinical experience. Now that the product is established in clinical practice, we will announce a price increase later this month that better reflects its market value.
Financial highlights:
--As of December 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents were $31.3 million compared to $10.8 million a year ago.
--For the year ended December 31, 2012, Fibrocell posted a net loss of $23.2 million on revenue of $153,000 compared to a net loss of $31.4 million on zero revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011.
--Fibrocell sold greater than $40 million in new equity in October 2012. As a part of the transaction, the company repaid or converted to equity all of its outstanding debt and all preferred shares were converted to common shares. The company currently has no debt.
Product Pipeline Highlights
LAVIV has validated the utility and commercial importance of our core technology. We are now in a position to apply our knowledge of the autologous cell manufacturing processes and regulatory requirements toward the development and commercialization of autologous products for new medical and aesthetic applications where autologous fibroblasts could play a key role. We are particularly focused on indications that present a critical unmet need and offer significant market and reimbursement potential. We will leverage the same core technology and manufacturing process to improve the lives of patients beyond our current aesthetic indication. The following programs demonstrate our work towards broadening the potential of our autologous fibroblast technology platform:
Rare Collagen Deficiencies -- Fibrocell has entered into an Exclusive Channel Collaboration (ECC) with Intrexon Corporation to explore the use of genetically modified autologous fibroblasts cells for the treatment of the genetic blistering disorder epidermolysis bullosa (EB), and more specifically, recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), the most severe form of the disease. RDEB is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the loss of collagen type VII, an important protein component of the anchoring fibers that connect the dermis to the epidermis.
RDEB typically presents at birth, and affected children experience widespread blistering and areas of missing skin in response to friction or minor injury, such as rubbing, scratching, or abrasions. Severe cases can lead to disfigurement through fusion of the fingers and toes, muscle contractures that restrict movement, corneal inflammation or scarring leading to vision loss, anemia, and other serious medical problems. RDEB has the highest rate of morbidity and mortality amongst the genetic blistering disorders. RDEB patients who survive to adulthood most often succumb to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
Through its collaboration with Intrexon, Fibrocell is uniquely positioned to leverage its proven fibroblast technology with Intrexon’s synthetic biology expertise to modify a patient’s own fibroblasts in order to produce functional collagen VII. A patient’s own gene modified fibroblasts hold the potential to treat this rare genetic condition by partially restoring normal collagen VII production and thus establishing physiological dermal-epidermal junctions. The availability of such a treatment would address a significant unmet clinical need given approximately 7 in 1,000,000 live births in the US, Europe, and Asia are diagnosed with RDEB. Presently there are no FDA-approved products to treat the underlying cause of the disease, and clinicians and patients must rely solely on palliative care to reduce patient suffering.
Restrictive Burns Scars -- Approximately 45,000 people in the United States are hospitalized each year with severe burns, leaving many with restrictive burn scars that can cause disfigurement, decreased mobility and continuous pain. We believe that the intrinsic role fibroblasts play in wound healing could be applied to these patients to help improve their range of motion and reduce scar pain. In the second quarter of 2013 we plan to start a Phase II trial of our autologous fibroblast technology for the treatment of restrictive burns scars to assess impact on range of motion, pain and scar appearance. Because there are currently no FDA-approved products to treat restrictive burn scars, commercialization of such a treatment would be a significant breakthrough in the market.
Vocal Cord Scars -- Scar tissue on the vocal cords reduces their suppleness and can affect voice tone and loudness; in fact, extreme scarring can leave impacted individuals unable to verbally communicate. Vocal cord scarring can be caused by aging, excessive exertion (such as experienced by singers and public speakers) and is a frequent side effect of cancer radiation therapy and surgical trauma. It impacts an estimated 200,000 to 700,000 people in the United States. Restoration of normal collagen levels may enable vocal cords to regain their lost suppleness. Our pilot clinical study showed that the injection of autologous fibroblasts is safe and appears to produce both objective and subjective improvements in voice quality that were sustained up to 12 months after treatment. In furthering this research, we plan to commence a Phase II study of our autologous fibroblast cell technology for vocal cord scars in the second half of 2013. We will be assessing improvement in voice quality. With voice therapy the most common attempted remedy and no commercially available treatments to date, we believe this could present a lucrative new application for our autologous fibroblast technology.
Acne Scars -- Acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States and leaves an estimated 20 million Americans suffering from acne scarring as a result. Following the completion of a successful Phase II study of our autologous fibroblast technology for the treatment of moderate to severe acne scars, which met all efficacy end points and was well tolerated by participants, we entered discussions with the FDA regarding the design of a Phase III program. Presently there are no FDA-approved medical products for the treatment of acne scarring. Given the promising early results, we are eager to further examine the potential value our autologous fibroblast technology could provide in this widespread condition.
Skin-derived Stem Cell Initiatives/UCLA/MIT -- We entered into an exclusive license agreement with UCLA to develop methods and techniques for using skin cells for generating stem cells that could serve as versatile tissue progenitors in regenerative medicine applications.
Under our collaborative agreement with MIT, researchers there are working to develop a scalable method to cost-effectively culture and grow the cell types identified by UCLA into relevant quantities.
Fibrocell Science Autologous Crème™ -- We initiated a marketing claims study of a new autologous skin care cream for treating mild to severe photo-damaged skin. The cream will leverage the LAVIV manufacturing process, providing the first and only topical product containing personalized growth factors and proteins derived from a person’s own fibroblast cells. We expect to introduce the product in the second half of 2013 under the name Fibrocell Science Autologus Crème™.

Look into the investor Kirk...deep pockets and huge investor!
From what I can see they have an investor with deep pockets who has the means to do so.
