Blood- and bone marrow-based efficient growth factors extraction system demonstrates substantial equivalence and high cell viability

SEOUL, South Korea, April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Miracell, a leading stem cell technology company, announced that it has obtained U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for its stem cell extraction system, SMART M-CELL, along with its dedicated kits, the BSC Blood Kit and BMSC Bone Marrow Kit.

The clearance was granted based on demonstrated substantial equivalence to SmartPReP, a globally recognized standard system originally developed by the Institute for Immunological Research (IDI) at Harvard Medical School. This milestone underscores the international credibility of Miracell’s technology in terms of cell quality and performance.

The cell concentration technology utilizing SmartPrep has been continuously validated through a wide range of studies and comparative analyses, with approximately 100 related publications and review articles reported to date.

Notably, in patients with knee osteoarthritis, BMAC injections have demonstrated reductions in pain and improvements in function. In cases of rotator cuff tears, the application of BMAC and BSC has been associated with increased cell proliferation, as well as pain relief and functional recovery. Additionally, studies in cartilage defects and bone injury sites have reported tissue regeneration and histological improvements following the use of BMAC or BSC.[1,2]

Beyond musculoskeletal indications, the biological efficacy and broader applicability of cell concentration technologies have been explored across multiple therapeutic areas, including skin regeneration and aesthetics, diabetic ulcers, chronic wound healing, vascular and cardiovascular regeneration, and immune-related conditions.

While SmartPReP has been widely recognized as a high-performance concentration system, SMART M-CELL represents a significant advancement.

Miracell’s technology maximizes cellular activity during the extraction process, maintaining cell viability.

This breakthrough is the result of hundreds of experimental iterations

SMART M-CELL is an automated system that selectively separates and concentrates Efficient Growth Factors from blood and bone marrow. Beyond Efficient Growth Factors, it produces a multi-cell composition that includes growth factors, white blood cells, and SDF-1α, supporting tissue regeneration and functional recovery. The system is designed to maximize clinical applicability with high recovery rates and operational stability.

Notably, this FDA clearance validates not only individual components but the entire integrated system—combining both centrifuge and kit—demonstrating its performance and effectiveness as a unified solution. This distinguishes Miracell from conventional centrifuge devices, which have typically been classified as lower-risk, notification-only products.

Efficient Growth Factors extraction technology requires more than simple physical concentration; it demands the preservation of cellular sensitivity and biological characteristics. Achieving higher purity levels requires exponentially greater engineering precision. Through its unique system and kit design, SMART M-CELL delivers world-class cell recovery rates and purity. Miracell previously secured a U.S. patent in February 2024 for its centrifuge container (kit) used in SMART M-CELL.

SMART M-CELL is currently the only FDA-cleared Efficient Growth Factors extraction system from Korea. The FDA clearance, along with U.S. patent recognition, validates Miracell’s differentiated approach from Harvard-based systems and confirms its superior extraction performance and product stability.

Miracell emphasized that as cell purity increases, performance improves exponentially, noting that this FDA clearance reflects the culmination of its intensive R&D efforts to enhance purity—even by just 1%. With both U.S. patent protection and FDA 510(k) clearance, SMART M-CELL is positioned to become one of the most trusted regenerative medicine solutions in the clinical field.

While treatment has traditionally focused on symptom relief through pharmacological approaches, there is a growing shift toward biologic therapies based on the body’s intrinsic healing capabilities. Advances in regenerative medicine—particularly those leveraging autologous cells and growth factors—are driving new treatment paradigms aimed at fundamental tissue repair and functional restoration, rather than simple symptom management.

Miracell also noted that it has already obtained regulatory approvals in multiple countries and is currently supplying SMART M-CELL and related kits to approximately 40 countries worldwide, including across Europe. The company added that regulatory approvals are underway in markets such as Brazil and Taiwan, and that, following the recent FDA clearance, it plans to aggressively expand into the global market, including the United States.

Meanwhile, Miracell is a regenerative medicine company that has successfully awarded four stem cell-based new medical technologies in Korea, including treatments for cartilage defects, acute myocardial infarction, critical limb ischemia, and knee osteoarthritis. The company is also advancing efforts to expand its treatment portfolio, including the registration of a new medical technology involving concentrated autologous bone marrow stem cell injections for intervertebral disc pain.

 

LUX CHIN UP: The Free and Easy Fix for Text Neck Syndrome

All the pretty girls scroll like this


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 April 2026 – Modern beauty has a new enemy, and it’s right in our hands: the mobile phone. Endless scrolling keeps us hooked, but it also keeps our heads down. With content so addictive, one ends up spending hours slouching. So, all that main character power and energy vanish—replaced by slumping and hunching. Over time, posture slips, presence shrinks, and bold beauty follows. “Text neck” isn’t just a physical issue; it’s quietly changing how we carry ourselves.

Lux Chin UP PR1 main.jpg

LUX, the iconic global beauty brand, knows true radiance is about how you show up. That effortless “it girl” energy starts with posture. That’s why the brand is launching LUX Chin Up—a digital tool designed to tackle “Text Neck” and help women keep their heads high and their bold beauty even higher. It’s the perfect modern solution for the modern beauty problem.

“LUX always inspires women to boost their presence and own their beauty power,” said Gaurav Datta, Global Brand VP. “Our phones are amazing for self-expression, but there’s a catch. While they elevate our digital selves, they often shrink our real-world presence. That constant downward scroll quietly chips away at posture, poise, and bold beauty. With ‘Chin Up,’ we’re offering a simple way for women to realign, lift up, and step back into their power.”

LUX has a brilliantly simple, tech-forward solution. Forget complicated downloads or wearable tech. LUX Chin Up is a smart web page that taps into your phone’s own motion sensors. When used with the split-screen option, it stays on screen as a small tab, reminding you of the right angle to be maintained while you doomscroll.

  • The Sweet Spot: The tool encourages you to keep your screen at an optimal
    90-degree angle.
  • The Gentle Nudge: If you start to slouch and the angle drops (and with it your head), the sensor detects it and the screen blinks, prompting you to raise your phone and go chin up.
  • The Reset: Straighten up, bring your phone back up and carry on scrolling with boldness.

LUX believes this can be an essential modern-day beauty ritual that extends beyond the shower to solve a modern-day problem. By habituating women to hold the right posture, LUX is naturally lifting their chins, opening their posture, and instantly restoring that vibrant, room-commanding presence. It’s a small shift that brings Main Character Beauty to life, on screen and off.

Make LUX Chin Up a habit, try it for a week and improve your posture. Visit lux.com/chinup

LUX Turns Ads into “Algorithm Cleansers” Designed to Influence Social Feeds

Soap giant LUX is bringing its cleansing power to social media feeds.


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 April 2026 – LUX has launched LUX My Algorithm, a new global initiative that reimagines the role of social media advertising by transforming ads into tools designed to influence the algorithms that shape what people see. Instead of simply competing for attention, the campaign introduces a new approach where advertising generates behavioural signals that can help redirect and diversify users’ feeds over time.

PR 01.jpg

Developed in partnership with VML, the campaign transforms LUX’s ads into what it calls “algorithm cleansers”, content engineered to generate behavioural signals that help redirect and diversify users’ feeds over time.

Feeds aren’t as personal as they feel

Social media feeds are often seen as a reflection of personal taste. In reality, they are shaped by behaviour. Every pause, watch, save, or share becomes a signal that determines what appears next.

Over time, these signals can narrow feeds into repetitive loops, built not from what they actively choose, but from what they momentarily engage with.

While users may not fully control their feeds, they are constantly influencing them.

An ad that doesn’t just reach you, but teaches your algorithm

LUX’s approach is built on a simple shift in thinking. An ad is not just a message. It is a behavioural event.

Every interaction with an ad generates signals, and those signals influence the algorithm to evolve.

This is the first time a brand has designed advertising not just to influence people directly, but to influence the algorithms that shape what people see.

It also introduces a new dynamic between paid and organic content. Behaviours driven by ads can influence what platforms recommend beyond them.

From interruption to intervention

LUX My Algorithm turns advertising into something more active. Not just appearing in feeds, but acting on them.

Developed in consultation with algorithm experts, the campaign reflects a deeper understanding of how digital systems can be influenced through behaviour.

Dr. Catherine Ball, Scientist and Futurist, said:
“This campaign is doing something fundamentally different. It repurposes advertising from interruption to intervention.”

From cleansing skin to cleansing feeds

The campaign extends LUX’s long-standing association with cleansing into the digital world. LUX My Algorithm addresses the accumulation of signals that shape content, mood, and self-expression over time.

Judy Zu, Global Brand Director, LUX, said:
“LUX has always stood for self-expression. ‘My Algorithm’ starts from a simple truth: what we engage with shapes what we see, and how we feel. This is about helping people take a more intentional role in that process, and creating a more positive relationship with their feeds.”

Tested in real feeds

Before launching globally, LUX tested the idea through a real-world experiment. Participants engaged consistently with LUX content over time, resulting in observable shifts in their feeds as new recommendation patterns emerged.

As part of the campaign, LUX continues to document how feeds evolve through sustained interaction, observing how content exposure can gradually redirect and diversify.

A global rollout

Now live across seven markets, LUX My Algorithm spans multiple platforms through a mix of branded films, creator collaborations, and culturally responsive content, all designed to drive intentional engagement at scale.

In doing so, LUX is redefining advertising, turning social media ads into tools that influence not just what people think, but what they see next.
