The service, C'elle, enables women to collect and cryopreserve stem cells harvested from menstrual flow. The cells may potentially be used in a broad range of future regenerative therapies to treat heart disease, stoke and diabetes, said a release from Cryo-Cell. Cryo-Cell said it has formalized agreement with C'elle distribution partners in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Venezuela and Panama. Cryo-Cell's technology license partner, LifeCell Private Ltd., previously announced plans to introduce the C'elle service in India. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, although Cryo-Cell said in the release that distribution of the service outside the United States may potentially create new sources of revenue from technology license and royalty fees, along with processing and storage revenue for the service. Cryo-Cell (OTCBB: CCEL), based in Oldsmar, processes and stores umbilical cord blood stem cells for family use. © 2008 American City Business Journals, Inc.
