CSO Kristin Comella Publishes Paper on the Implantation of Stromal Vascular Fraction in Patients with Cardiomyopathy

SUNRISE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2016 / U.S. STEM CELL, Inc. (OTCQB: USRM) - The Chief Science Officer of U.S. Stem Cell Inc, Kristin Comella, and a team of researchers published a paper in the Journal of Translational Medicine. The team investigated the effects of the intra-myocardial implantation of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy. A total of 28 patients underwent a local tumescent liposuction procedure to remove approximately 60 ml of fat tissue from the abdomen. The fat was separated to isolate the SVF and the cells were delivered into the scar region using the MyoCath® catheter delivery system in patients who had experienced a previous myocardial infarct. The subjects were then monitored for adverse events, ejection fraction via echocardiogram and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) over a period of 6 months. The average ejection fraction was 29% at baseline and significantly increased to 35% at both 3 and 6 months. Patients walked an average of 349 meters at baseline and demonstrated a statistically significant improvement at 3 and 6 months' post treatment of more than 80 meters. More importantly, the procedure demonstrated a strong safety profile with no severe adverse events or complications linked to the therapy.

Kristin Comella highlighted that at U.S. Stem Cell, "We are focused on bringing new regenerative medicine therapies to patients and completing clinical trials is key to understanding the safety and effectiveness of these treatments. The positive results of this study demonstrate the exciting potential of cellular medicine. We are thrilled that our work has been recognized in a prestigious peer reviewed journal."

About U.S. Stem Cell, Inc.

U.S. Stem cell, Inc. (formerly Bioheart, Inc.) is an emerging enterprise in the regenerative medicine / cellular therapy industry. We are focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of cell based therapeutics that prevent, treat or cure disease by repairing and replacing damaged or aged tissue, cells and organs and restoring their normal function. We believe that regenerative medicine / cellular therapeutics will play a large role in positively changing the natural history of diseases ultimately, we contend, lessening patient burdens as well as reducing the associated economic impact disease imposes upon modern society.

Our business, which includes three operating divisions (U.S. Stem Cell Training, Vetbiologics, and U.S. Stem Cell Clinic) includes the development of proprietary cell therapy products as well as revenue generating physician and patient based regenerative medicine / cell therapy training services, cell collection and cell storage services, the sale of cell collection and treatment kits for humans and animals, and the operation of a cell therapy clinic. Management maintains that revenues and their associated cash in-flows generated from our businesses will, over time, provide funds to support our clinical development activities as they do today for our general business operations. We believe the combination of our own therapeutics pipeline combined with our revenue generating capabilities provides the Company with a unique opportunity for growth and a pathway to profitability.
