Aethlon Medical’s (Nasdaq: AEMD) Exosome Sciences Announces the Publication of Preliminary Findings of a Blood Test to Detect Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) During Life

Aethlon Medical’s (Nasdaq: AEMD) Exosome Sciences Announces the Publication of Preliminary Findings of a Blood Test to Detect Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) During Life


SAN DIEGO, CA, February 25, 2016 – Exosome Sciences, Inc., in collaboration with majority shareholder Aethlon Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq:AEMD) and investigators at Boston University and the University of Washington, announced today the published preliminary results of possibly the first blood test to detect the neurodegenerative disease, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) during life. An early online version of these findings has been published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. CTE is associated with exposure to repetitive head impacts, such as those experienced by American football players, and can only be diagnosed post-mortem at this time.

The researchers developed a method of measuring plasma exosomal tau, also referred to as a TauSome™.  Exosomes are very small vesicles that are released from all types of cells throughout the body, including brain cells.  They can be isolated in all body fluids, including plasma, a component of blood. Exosomes carry within them the proteins from their cells of origin.  Because exosomes can cross the blood-brain-barrier (a selective barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain’s extracellular fluid), they can provide a unique method of measuring certain aspects of the contents of brain cells through a blood test.  That is, if the brain-derived exosomes can be isolated in plasma and then be stained for specific proteins found in the brain cells, researchers can potentially measure brain proteins through a blood test.  That was the goal of this preliminary study.

The ability to diagnose CTE during life will allow researchers to better determine its incidence and prevalence, to examine risk factors to understand why some people get CTE and others do not, and to begin clinical trials of methods aimed at treating and ultimately preventing the disease.  Because CTE is very similar to Alzheimer’s disease and other related neurodegenerative diseases, the results of this new study may eventually lead to improved methods of detecting these other causes of dementia.

For this study, researchers examined 78 former National Football League (NFL) players and a control group of 17 former non-contact sport athletes. All subjects were participants in a larger project that was funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a variety of biomarkers for CTE conducted at Boston University School of Medicine. Results demonstrated that plasma exosomal tau was significantly elevated in the group of former NFL players compared to the control group and that, within the former NFL player group, the number of tau-positive plasma exosomes was significantly correlated with performance on standardized tests of memory and psychomotor speed; the higher the TauSome level, the worse the performance. 
“We are extremely pleased that our initial study data has been published and we appreciate forthcoming opportunities to further advance our TauSome™ biomarker as a non-invasive solution to detect and monitor CTE in living individuals,” stated Jim Joyce, Founder of Exosome Sciences and Chairman and CEO of Aethlon Medical.
The researchers note that this is a preliminary study and is the first of several steps necessary to validate a TauSome test to detect CTE and potentially monitor its progression. The study was limited by a relatively small sample size and the lack of any additional possible biomarker of CTE. Furthermore, because of the methods used, the researchers cannot be completely confident that the exosomes that were isolated definitely came from the brain or that the specific form of tau that was measured is the same form of abnormal tau found in CTE.  A series of future TauSome studies are already planned, including collaboration with a multisite, 7-year $16 million grant recently awarded to Stern and colleagues by the NIH to develop methods of diagnosing CTE during life.
About Exosome Sciences
Exosome Sciences, Inc., in collaboration with majority shareholder Aethlon Medical (Nasdaq:AEMD), is focused on discovering exosomal biomarkers to diagnose and monitor Alzheimer's disease (AD), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and other neurological disorders.  Our TauSome™ biomarker (also referred to as exosomal tau) is being studied as the basis for a blood-based test to identify CTE through the DETECT Study being conducted by the Boston University CTE Center.  TauSome™ detection and the use of a TauSome™ biomarker to identify and monitor CTE and other neurological disorders are protected by multiple patent applications.  Visit www.exosomesciences.com for additional details.

QBioMed Inc. (OTCQB: QBIO) Corporate Update; Licensed Mannin Research Glaucoma Technology Advancing on Schedule

QBioMed Inc. (OTCQB: QBIO) Corporate Update; Licensed Mannin Research Glaucoma Technology Advancing on Schedule
     


NEW YORK, NY – February 17, 2016 - Q BioMed Inc. (OTCQB: QBIO), a biotechnology acceleration company recently provided the following update on recent corporate developments.

Over the last 3 months we have significantly increased our cash position through several convertible note and securities purchase agreements exceeding $1,000,000. As a result, we have positioned ourselves to execute on the initial commitments under our Mannin Research Inc. license agreement and expect that development to continue on schedule.

Mannin's leading technology platform, MAN-01, is moving forward as planned with molecule optimization and the asset development program is being finalized.

Mannin has also been accepted as one of three companies to the Chicago-Canada Mentorship Program (C2MP).

The C2MP program is a tailor-made mentoring program focused on life science innovators. In partnership with the Chicago Innovation Mentors (CIM@MATTER) organization, the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service will catalyze and accelerate technology commercialization opportunities in the Chicago area by matching experienced and supportive mentoring teams with early stage innovators.

Mannin was selected to take part in the program so as to accelerate the development and commercialization of Mannin's lead indication, MAN-01 for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

CIM@MATTER was established in 2010 based on the VMS program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. CIM@MATTER has seven member institutions, and nearly 200 mentors as part of its innovation network.

The C2MP program will provide Mannin with a mentor and a group of advisors from a team of life science and business professionals within the CIM@MATTER team and dedicated support from the Trade Commissioner Service of Canada.

Mannin's CEO, Dr. George N. Nikopoulos stated, "We are thrilled to be a part of the program. We see the value in the acceleration process as it relates to our development and commercialization milestones. We thank the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service in Chicago for their support and look forward to a successful program."

In January 2016, Mannin participated in the Glaucoma 360 New Horizons Forum conference in San Francisco, organized by the Glaucoma Research Foundation.  The conference is a unique gathering of CEOs from startup companies, industry executives, ophthalmic leaders and venture capitalists seeking to speed the translation of new ideas to improved therapies for glaucoma patients. 

In January 2016, members of the QBIO management team attended and presented at the BioTech Showcase around the JP Morgan healthcare conference in San Francisco. The conference was very productive and our presentation was well attended. The focus of the meeting was to further expose the QBIO brand and business to potential partners both in technology development and capital raising.

Our management and our team of advisors are actively conducting due diligence and asset development assessment on several new technologies and products. It is our goal to have at least 3 asset transactions completed this year to expand and broaden our pipeline into other indications in various stages of development.

We invite our shareholders and interested parties to subscribe to our email list and stay informed on our website at http://www.qbiomed.com and follow us on the social media feeds we use.
