Since mid-2005, nearly 100 academic research institutions, corporate laboratories and pharmaceutical organizations located around the world have licensed the MLPC to conduct regenerative medicine and drug discovery research. First Annual Stem Cells World Congress Daniel Collins, Ph.D., executive vice president and chief scientific officer for BioE, will present at the first annual Stem Cells World Congress being held Feb. 12-13, 2007 in La Jolla, Calif. Dr. Collins will discuss the discovery and characterization of the MLPC. He also will explain the methods used to differentiate the MLPC into a variety of tissue types -- including bone, cartilage, fat, skeletal and cardiac muscle cardiac muscle n.
