Parcell Spine Looks to Expand Stem Cell Use for Spinal Disorders Parcell Brings Stem Cells to Alphatec

Alphatec Holdings, Inc. recently announced that it has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Parcell Spine, LLC. The agreement gives Alphatec Spine, Inc. the exclusive global rights to distribute Parcell’s proprietary adult stem cells.
Alphatec has found success, and plenty of room for growth, within the company’s niche of treating the ageing spine, and company officials hope that they can improve fusion rates and other spinal treatments by adding biologic stem cell solutions. Parcell officials call their proprietary stem cell the ELA stem cell because it is an “embryonic-like” adult stem cell. According to Alphatec’s recent press release, Parcell’s method for obtaining the donated ELA stem cells can “yield up to six hundred times more cells than a similar volume of mesenchymal stem cells harvested from bone marrow.” The cells come from tissue which is usually discarded as medical waste.
In the recent press release, Alphatec’s President and CEO Dirk Kuyper says,
"The addition of an osteoprogenitor stem cell will provide Alphatec with an excellent position in the growing market of stem cell therapies for treating disorders of the spine, and will be a strong complement to the other innovative technologies in our core fusion and aging spine portfolios."Pamela Layton, CEO of Parcell Spine, also says that the new agreement is just what the company was looking for:
"We believe that our supply and distribution agreement with Alphatec is an important strategic milestone for the Spine Division of Parcell Laboratories. It is consistent with our objective of partnering with best-of-breed companies that are positioned to fill the gap in the large orthobiologics arena."Mr. Kuyper expects that Alphatec will release an ELA stem cell product in the second half of this year and then gain substantial revenue from the product in 2011.

Re: Parcell Spine Looks to Expand Stem Cell Use for Spinal Disorders Not sure at this point. However, it sounds like they have a lot in the works in regard to orthobiologics.Originally Posted by sportsnut3007
