STEM CELLPRODUCTS

Focus on Mesenchymal Stem Cells• Numerous Clinical Uses:

Joint disease & injury, autoimmunity, stroke, organ failure (heart, liver, kidney & lung), MS, promotion of HSC engraftment, regenerative medicine, cancer, hearing loss, etc.

• Readily Available:Blood, adipose (fat) tissue, bone marrow, teeth, etc

GFP-Expressing Human MSCs Catalog Number SC00A4

Real Time Stability of MSCGroCompared to Competitor's Medium

Competitive Advantages of MSCGroTM

• MSC growth rate/cell recovery > Lonza, InVitrogen, Stem Cell Technologies, ScienCell & ZenBio media.

• MSC quality/potency (Lumenesc™) > Lonza, InVitrogen and Stem Cell Technologies media.

• Vastly improved real time stability. • Medium function unaffected by freezing. • Out-performs competitors at both reduced & ambient O2 • Supports self-renewal of human, rat & mouse MSCs• Also supports primary cultures: fibroblasts (human & rat); rat

cardiomyocytes & possibly hepatocytes • Provided complete & ready to use as is.

Neuromics, Inc.Research Products

Wide range of Research Products (2500 total)• Antibodies & proteins• Stem cell-based products• Primary cells• Cell-based assays• Molecular Biology Products

Drug Discovery and Development Overview

• Problems with current discovery technology: High failure rate; side-effects

• Advantages of stem cell-derived systems:Reduce false positives in animal

systems High specificity due to biological targeting

Cost-effective, high-throughput, automatic•Market Size & Strategic Plan

Need and Market for Osteoporosis Drugs

• Osteoporosis is a growing, top-10 global disease• Market ~ $11 billion USD by 2015.• Anti-resorptive drugs block osteocylasts & bone loss• Pathology is age and/or hormone-induced impaired

osteogenesis.• New anabolic drugs induce bone growth and decreased

fracture risk.• Current anabolic drugs have side effects & must be

discontinued after two years use.
