Cord Blood America's CEO said BioCells, Inc., its Argentina-headquartered stem cell company, has recently opened eight franchises in the same number of cities in that country, besides opening an office in Miami for Latin Americans in the U.S. Sales have been strong in South America, Mr. Schissler said. Stellacure GmbH, the Company's stem cell firm headquartered in Germany, is part of a broadbased strategy to be invested in small stem cell companies throughout the Continent, including in Spain and Italy, Cord Blood America's CEO said.
