Celogos and SMS KK agree myoblast transplantation deal

French biotechnology firm Celogos and Japan's Stem Cell Sciences KK, a joint venture established by Australia's Stem Cell Sciences and Japanese firm Sosei, have agreed a licensing deal which covers use of the former's myoblast cell implantation expertise in the development of a treatment for urinary incontinence. Financial terms of the accord, which covers the commercialization of such products in Japan, were not provided.
