Stem Cell Innovations, Inc. (OTCBB: SCLL) announced today that the Company has started to validate a set of compounds that Circomed AG develops for certain cardiovascular indications. Financial details of this fee-for-service collaboration were not disclosed.

"This agreement confirms the broad applicability of our proprietary human liver cell C3A", said Stem Cell Innovations' CEO Dr. James Kelly.

"The C3A cell system combined with their broad liver biology expertise made SCI the partner of choice to assist in the progression of our molecules".
