We have no legal binding, we basically are trying to work with the parties to see if there's an interest on their part to resolve this amicably. If we feel that the parties are not willing to resolve it, then we're done.

We reproduced the observations from humans in animals in order to identify the mechanism for the hyperbaric oxygen effect. We found that hyperbaric oxygen mobilizes stem/progenitor cells because it increases synthesis of a molecule called nitric oxide in the bone marrow. This synthesis is thought to trigger enzymes that mediate stem/progenitor cell release.

But you never know what took place prior to these altercations, or what other discussions or conflicts were occurring. This is why a comprehensive investigation is so important.

If (the victim) was physically assaulted and there were any indications racial slurs were used, or that they had plotted and intended to harm him, this would constitute a hate crime.

This is the safest way clinically to increase stem cell circulation, far safer than any of the pharmaceutical options. This study provides information on the fundamental mechanisms for hyperbaric oxygen and offers a new theoretical therapeutic option for mobilizing stem cells.
