PITTSTON, ME, Feb 05, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- YaFarm Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: YFRM) (YaFarm, or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Integrative Stem Cell Institute (the ISCI). The ISCI is a pioneer in the field of cell-based regenerative medicine.

Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka for their work in stem cell research, we are very excited about the synergies this acquisition will bring to the Company. The ISCI has been providing point-of-care therapies to patients for over a year and operates at an internationally recognized medical facility accredited by both the Joint Commission and Accreditation Canada International. With a seasoned and successful management team in place, we believe we are creating an organization that has the capabilities to understand and support the many facets of the stem cell industry. We believe that there will be significant growth opportunities in stem cell research and treatment in the near future, and it is our intent to capitalize on them."
Juan Castillo, MD, founder of the ISCI said, "Physicians from around the world have shown that cells may have a tremendous impact on such chronic and debilitating diseases as diabetes, Parkinson's disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)." Dr. Castillo continued, "The ISCI provides quality patient care and a uniquely integrated medical community. Our patients, physicians and researchers work together to provide access to innovative, point-of-care, cell-based therapies, while evidencing the regenerative capabilities of cell medicine, and delivering on the promise of adult stem cell therapies."
