Fibrocell Science has appointed Nicolas Elian, DDS., as an adviser to the company, which is focused on developing autologous cell therapies for aesthetic, medical, and scientific applications.
As a dental expert, Dr. Elian will bring deep experience in the study of reconstructive dentistry to his advisory role for Fibrocell, according to the company.
William K. Boss, MD, who was instrumental in developing Fibrocell Science's original technology, has partnered with Dr. Elian to examine its potential applications in the areas of periodontics and reconstructive dentistry. They believe the technology may be well-suited for periodontal applications such as treating recessive gums, preparing soft gum tissue for dental implants, and preserving tooth extraction sockets.
