However, through N-Biotek, Adimarket now offers the Total Solution labs and all the accoutrements. From planning to building the facility, to training and consultation, Total Solution users are equipped in every way possible to walk in and begin using their fully-equipped biotechnology lab in short order.

Total Solutions clean room and stem cell lab equipment
The Stem Cell Total Solution is a comprehensive business solution that provides the entire stem cell processing system-from business planning to business procedures, a state-of-the-art cellular processing facility with bio safety clean rooms for stem cell processing, quality control rooms, core technology, cutting-edge equipment, installation, training-everything needed to launch a stem cell business or a enhance a medical research practice in a short period of time.
N-Biotek has been providing its Stem Cell Total Solution labs and consulting services, as well as stem cell processing technology management services, to universities, research centers, physicians and biotechnology enterprises in South Korea, China, Japan and Vietnam for years.

When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell, and this allows researchers to manipulate these extraordinary reconstructionist micro-organisms to differentiate into other cell types that can be used to treat disease and injuries affecting parts of the body from which they did not originate. For instance, a stem cell harvested from body fat can be manipulated to take on the functions of a pancreatic cell, a heart cell or a retina cell. Researchers see unlimited potential in their ability to heal wounds, cure diseases, and even prevent birth defects.

“Stem cell manipulation resulting in cells that possess the characteristics necessary for successful differentiation, transplantation, and engraftment is critical to discovering new methods for treating illness and impairments,” Novas says.
Global Stem Cells Group and N-Biotek provide Total Solution users with everything they need to culture, expand and cryopreserve stem cells right away. Each system comes with manufacture patents and full certification. All products and

New Guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Therapies Aim to Protect Patients from Charlatan Quackery
Stem cell research has never been more advanced, and as a result many different types of treatments are currently offered on the market. Unfortunate
ly, some providers are practicing quackery in stem cell therapies, and an abundance of well-intentioned scientific and medical personnel are prematurely publicizing their work. These providers and publishers have cast an unfair shadow of mistrust on this very important branch of medical research and potential treatments.
On the other hand, the contributions of professional medical and stem cell societies and other organizations require self-regulation through accreditation and certification, development of standards, and creation of a platform for collaboration among stakeholders.
Professional Guidelines for responsible Stem Cell Research
International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is the largest professional organization of stem cell scientists. In 2007, ISSCR impaneled a broad international taskforce to develop a set of professional guidelines for responsible translational stem cell research. Their principles include high standards of preclinical evidence, peer review, scrupulous review of clinical protocol by an Institutional Review Board (IRB), rigorous informed consent, and publication of results whether positive or negative.
The general scientific consensus is that most stem cell therapies are not ready for marketing or commercialization. But the industries that are providing these treatments are increasingly sophisticated and organized, and are challenging established regulatory frameworks.
The International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) has an interest in the promotion of stem cell research and development, but it also is interested in a broader range of cell-based interventions such as immune cell interventions, reproductive medicine, and gene therapy. The ISCT taskforce has working groups on definitions, scientific evidence and biological rationale, laboratory cell processing, clinical practice, regulation, commercial implications, communications, and policy.
Develop terminology, define levels of scientific evidence in new guidelines for stem cell research
The key goals are to develop an appropriate terminology, define the levels of scientific evidence needed to justify routine use or commercialization of a stem cell therapy, address questions of “experimental” and “innovative” use, and understand the global regulatory landscape in order to identify gaps and contradictions.
The ISSCR published revised guidelines for research and clinical translation involving stem cells on May 12, 2016. These new guidelines update and combine guidelines on stem cell research and clinical translation previously issued in 2006 and 2008 Jonathan Kimmelman, Associate Professor of Biomedical Ethics at McGill University, chaired the ISSCR Guidelines Update Task Force. The task force was made up of 25 experts in basic research, clinical research, and bioethics, and received feedback from 85 external individuals and organizations.
2016 guidelines: covering new ground in stem cell research
The 2016 guidelines cover new ground in areas such as gene editing and induced pluripotent stem cells. They introduce a new focus on the communication of results. The task force recognizes that results and potential applications can be exaggerated, leading to distorted understandings of research outcomes in the scientific community, popular press, and among potential patients. The “14-day rule” limiting experimentation on human embryos or embryo-like structures is upheld in these guidelines, although one task-force member has suggested that this may soon be open to revision.
In May, 2016 ISSCR released the following list of all of the new topics addressed in the revised guidelines as part of the announcement of its report:
- Define an Embryo Research Oversight (EMRO) process to encompass both human embryonic stem cell research and human embryo research that may not explicitly pertain to stem cells or generating new stem cell lines;
- Exclude the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) from specific stem cell research oversight, and instead call on the existing human subjects review processes to oversee donor cell recruitment (iPS cells behave like embryonic stem cells but are derived by reprogramming more differentiated tissue cells);
- Support laboratory-based research that entails gene editing of the nuclear genomes of human sperm, egg, or embryos, when performed under rigorous review, but hold that any attempt to apply this clinically would be premature and should be prohibited at this time;
- Define principles for evaluating both basic and clinically applied research on mitochondrial replacement therapy, in concordance with recent deliberations in the U.K., U.S., and elsewhere;
- Determine that where there is no undue financial inducement to participate, it may be acceptable to compensate women who donate eggs for research;
- Recognize that the development of increasingly complex in vitro models of early stages of human development should undergo specialized review;
- Highlight opportunities to strengthen preclinical studies in stem cell research, including reproducibility and stringent standards for experimental design;
- Call for robust standards for preclinical and clinical research evidence as clinical trials progress and rigorous evaluation for safety and efficacy before marketing approval;
- Address the valuable contributions made by patients or patient groups to support clinical research and a framework to ensure this is achieved without compromising the integrity of the research;
- Highlight the responsibility of all groups communicating stem cell science and medicine—scientists, clinicians, industry, science communicators, and media—to present accurate, balanced reports of progress and setbacks.
The good news is that stem cell research is evolving into a highly respected and in-demand branch of healing that many consider to be the future of medicine. Since pluripotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell, they are used in the development of medical treatments for a wide range of conditions including physical trauma, degenerative conditions, and genetic diseases (in combination with gene therapy). Further treatments using stem cells are being developed due to stem cells’ ability to repair extensive tissue damage.
Great levels of success and potential have been achieved from research using adult stem cells. In early 2009, the FDA approved the first human clinical trials using embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, which means they can become any cell type of the body, with the exception of placental cells. More and more is being discovered about the plasticity of adult stem cells, increasing the potential number of cell types an adult stem cell can become.

Global Stem Cells Group Subsidiary Adimarket to Launch Progenikine™ SVF Closed System
Global Stem Cells Group subsidiary Adimarket is preparing to launch Progenikine™, a new SVF closed system kit utilizing EmCyte technology, containing all the elements necessary to process adipose tissue and obtain stromal vascular fraction in a sterile environment.
MIAMI, May 31—Adimarket, a subsidiary of Global Stem Cells Group, Inc. is preparing to launch Progenikine™, its new and approved SVF closed system kit using EmCyte technology, and is expected to be available to physicians in July, 2016. The Progenikine kit contains all the elements necessary to process adipose tissue and obtain stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in a closed environment.
Adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) are used by physicians for a variety of indications. Most commonly, ASCs are isolated at the point of care from lipoaspirate (derived from liposuction) tissue as the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), harvested from the patient and immediately administered to the patient as an injection, or used to enrich fat grafts. Isolation of ASCs from adipose tissue is a relatively simple process performed routinely in cell biology laboratories, but isolation at the point of care for immediate clinical administration requires special methodology to prevent contamination, ensure integrity of the clinical procedure, and comply with regulatory requirements.
Developed in conjunction with Patrick Pennie, Emcyte CEO, and Maritza Novas Director of Research and Development for Global Stem Cells Group, Progenikine fuses elements from Emcyte systems with the Global Stem cells Group SVF protocols. The kit can provide a low cost, rapid and
simple alternative to traditional methods of isolating ASCs, particularly when smaller quantities are needed.
“We’re excited to launch the Progenikine kit, the newest product designed to help Global Stem Cells Group’s fulfill its m
ission to provide accessible products to our member clients,” says Benito Novas, CEO of Global Stem Cells Group. “These are the milestones that bring us closer to ensuring that more patients will be able to gain access to stem cell therapies.”

Global Stem Cells Group Affiliate University of Santiago Biotechnology Lab Applies for RTA Certification
MIAMI, April 30, 2016–Global Stem Cells Group CEO Benito Novas announced that the University of Santiago has become the latest GSCG affiliate to apply for Regenerative Technologies Alliance (RTA) certification. RTA certification represents the highest standards of excellence in current medical and laboratory practices against established standards.
The announcement comes less than a week after Global Stem Cells Group announced a mutual endorsement for an Asian-Pacific alliance with the university to host a regenerative medicine and stem cell symposium July 1-2 at the university’s Santiago campus. Through the alliance, the two organizations have established a working agenda for collaborative initiatives and educational programs in stem cell and regenerative medicine research and development for 2016 – 2020.
Experts in the field of regenerative and cell-based medicine conduct the RTA certification program. The Regenerative Technologies Alliance, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization operated by Regenetech and supported by individuals and institutions committed to bringing peer oversight and transparency to the regenerative and cell-based medicine industry, provides certification for:
- Laboratory Facilities that provide the processing of human tissue for the development of cell-based applications
- Clinical facilities seeking to participate in authorized studies that are approved by Institutional Review Boards (IRB)
- Medical facilities providing cell-based medical therapies to patients.
According to Benito Novas, CEO of Global Stem Cells Group, the certification process will be conducted under the direction of David B. Audley, RTA Chair and General Secretary. Audley is a highly regarded medical marketing and management services consultant who co-founded MedTourGlobal after 10 years in the emerging field of regenerative medicine.
Santiago was the city chosen for the first RTA accreditation in Latin America. This type of accreditation differs from traditional accreditation processes in that it examines all aspects of service and patient care, considers the progress of the location and the potential for receiving international patients, as well as meeting quality expectations.
The alliance between Global Stem Cells Group and the University of Santiago extended an invitation to Audley and started the RTA application and review process to assess the reception, harvesting, bio-processing and application of stem cells, in the university’s Biotechnology and Molecular Biology Laboratory and Providencia Stem Cells Center. This international certification opportunity includes evaluating and reinforcing physicians working in those areas, and validating the processes and bio-technological resources against international standards.
RTA delegates are expected to visit the University of Santiago facility in July to conduct a physical inspection of the premises. The goal is to create a cell therapy hub in Santiago that can accommodate the needs of patients in neighboring countries seeking stem cell and regenerative medicine treatments. Strong patient demand in the United States and Europe have also created a growing interest in the medical tourism industry.
Global Stem Cells Group Chief Medical Officer Enrique Testart, M.D., heads a medical and scientific team tasked with establishing a new edition of the post-graduate diploma program, “Diplomat in Cell Therapy and Tissue Engineering” at Santiago University.
The theoretical and practical, 120-hour program will deliver the fundamentals of the most advanced cell therapies and clinical applications currently practiced safely and effectively in more than 35 cities worldwide.
Testart and Novas have collaborated on the push to highlight Chile’s appeal as a destination for patients seeking stem cell therapies for a variety of conditions, and as part of GSCG’s ongoing commitment to expand the reach of stem cell treatments throughout Latin America. Global Stem Cells Group’s Quito, Chile clinical facility is also in the process of earning RTA certification.
Novas says that GSCG aims to have all the company’s clinical facilities earn RTA certification by the end of 2016.
Global Stem Cells Group’s presence in Chile represents one of the largest integrated science and technology organizations associated with tissue engineering and tissue regeneration. GSCG represents the areas of research, development, medical appliances, equipment and protocols for clinical standards, and is fast becoming a global leader in adult stem cell therapies, medical training in stem cell protocols, and the manufacture of high quality products and supplies in regenerative medicine.
Their strategic leadership puts them in the forefront of stem cell research, medical education and patient care. Global Stem Cells Group comprises six companies, each of which works in specialty areas related to the stem cell industry .

for Global Stem Cells Group, Progenikine fuses elements from Emcyte systems with the Global Stem Cells Group SVF protocols. The kit can provide a low cost, rapid and simple alternative to traditional methods of isolating ASCs, particularly when smaller quantities are needed.
“We’re excited to launch the Progenikine kit, the newest product designed to help Global Stem Cells Group fulfill its mission to provide accessible products to our member clients,” says Benito Novas, CEO of Global Stem Cells Group. “These are the milestones that bring us closer to ensuring that more patients will be able to gain access to stem cell therapies.”
