“Adipose tissue is now a validated source of regenerative cells,” said Shawn Cavanagh, senior vice president, Cambrex Bioproducts business. “The scientific potential of this population has only begun to be mined, yet already shows promise in clinical case studies. We look forward to offering the products to researchers that are conducting basic and preclinical research related to these cells.”
