Fibrocell Science Initiates New Study on Autologous Crème

EXTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fibrocell Science, Inc. announced today that it has initiated a study to evaluate a new autologous skin care crème. The study, being conducted under the supervision of David McDaniel, MD at the McDaniel Institute of Anti-Aging Research, Virginia Beach, VA, will assess the impact of the crème on mild to severe photo-damaged skin.

"If successful, this would be a significant breakthrough because it would create an entirely new product category," said Dr. McDaniel. "For the first time, we would be able to offer our patients an autologous crème that has been exclusively created for them using media enriched by their own fibroblast cells." The first patients in the study are now being treated with the crème.

"This is an important business development for us because it expands our aesthetic franchise," said David Pernock, Chief Executive and Chair, Fibrocell Science. "In essence, it's a designer crème."

The crème is based on the Company's sophisticated scientific fibroblast platform and patents have been filed. Results of the study are expected in May. The Fibrocell Science Autologous Crème will be commercially available exclusively from Fibrocell certified physicians later this year.
