Barach signals a governance shift toward financial accountability, aligning with investor demands for measurable returns in the regenerative medicine sector. The $28M recapitalization is modest compared to industry peers, but the company’s ability to achieve cash flow positivity by Q1 2027 will be a key test of its operational turnaround.
