Regenerative medicine is on the verge of mainstream

Cytori makes a device that harvests stem cells and other regenerative factors from one's own adipose (fat) tissue. The resulting concentrated mix of adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC's) can then be injected back into the body with all kinds of benefits, from breast augmentation and reconstruction, to treatment of heart disease.

After doing a ton of research over the past two years, Cytori became my first and only investment in the medical field. Congrats to the team on the huge cover story in the November issue of Wired.

And we're all thankful that when Wired put me on the cover many years ago, they didn't ask me to take my shirt off.
