Maxim Group's Jason Kolbert and Jason McCarthy Interviewed by The Life Sciences Report

SAN FRANCISCO, CA --(Marketwired - December 04, 2015) - Why have stem cell and regenerative medicine companies underperformed other segments of biotech? Maxim Group's Jason Kolbert and Dr. Jason McCarthy identify a possible answer: Investors believe stem cell data has yet to definitively reach proof of concept in the blockbuster indications that the companies are pursuing.
