Los Angeles based Dr. Peter Fodor (FACS) - double board certified plastic surgeon - will be conducting a study with Body-Jet and Liquid Heat In Motion (LHM) - looking to provide best evidence of the usage of water assisted liposuction procedures as well as encouraging more paitents to store adipose extract in cryro banks for future stem cell applications. In an incredibly fortuitous timing, on September 7, 2009, Stanford School of Medicine announced that Dr. Joseph Wu and Dr. Michael Longaker had created iPS cells (induced pluripotent stem cells) from fat removed during liposuction. Dr. Longaker called it "liquid gold." Dr. Fodor acknowledged that previously they Medical Professionals) were collecting stem cells only for research, but more recently, patients had been banking them for regenerative therapies to be determined in the future, as science progresses in this arena.
