Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) Announces Dr. Douglas Taylor as Chief Scientific Officer of Exosome Sciences, Inc.

SAN DIEGO - September 13, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), announced today that Dr. Douglas Taylor has accepted the position of Chief Scientific Officer at Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI), a wholly owned diagnostic subsidiary of Aethlon Medical. Dr. Taylor is credited with the discovery of tumor-secreted exosomes and is a leading published author on the topic. "We are truly honored that Dr. Taylor has agreed to lead our research endeavors at Exosome Sciences. His pioneering research has been instrumental in establishing an industry for exosome-based diagnostics and therapeutics," stated Aethlon Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce. The news was first reported through a presentation given by Mr. Joyce at the Exosomes & Circulating Biomarkers 2013 Summit. Mr. Joyce's presentation occurred after the close of market hours on September 12th.

Aethlon Medical develops therapeutic devices to address unmet medical needs in cancer, infectious disease, and other life-threatening conditions. The Company is preparing to launch the first U.S. studies of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® as a therapy to address hepatitis c virus (HCV) based on the recent approval of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class device that targets the rapid elimination of viruses and cancer glycopathogens, including disease-promoting exosomes from circulation.
Exosome Sciences was established by Aethlon to pursue exosome-based strategies to diagnose and monitor the progression of cancer, infectious disease and other life-threatening conditions. ESI's lead product, an Enzyme Linked Lectin Specific Assay (ELLSA) has been validated to identify the presence of exosomes underlying the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis (TB), and various forms of cancer, including ovarian, melanoma, breast, lymphoma, and colorectal.
Dr. Taylor stated, "I am extremely excited about joining Exosome Sciences as their Chief Scientific Officer. I have been pioneering the field of exosome biology for more than 35 years and believe that exosomes represent the ideal disease marker due to their stability in the peripheral circulation and ability to be multiplexed. Exosome-based diagnostics will not only be used in identification and management of a variety of cancers, but also in other pathologies such as viral infections, pregnancy complications, birth defects, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. No other platform exhibits their potential for patient stratification and real-time monitoring of therapeutic responses. I have a long history of collaboration with scientists at Aethlon Medical and this opportunity will expand that interaction to bring ELLSA based assays to the clinic."
The release of exosomes by viable cells has been demonstrated in multiple cell types and systems. These nano-sized vesicles are detectable in biologic fluids, including blood, urine, ascites, and pleural fluids. They are essential mediators of normal homeostasis, based on their role in intercellular communication via surface interactions and transfer of macromolecules between cells. Cell injury or transformation is associated with alterations in the cell's exosome production and composition of these exosomes. This aberrant exosome composition can be utilized as surrogate markers of specific disease pathologies. The ESI mission is to advance an exosome-based biomarker platform to diagnose a broad-spectrum of disease conditions as well as monitor disease progression/regression in response to therapy as a means to improve patient management and outcomes. In the oncology field, ESI products will also be positioned to serve as companion diagnostics that determine when to initiate Hemopurifier® therapy or provide real-time monitoring of tumor responses to Hemopurifier® therapy.
About Dr. Taylor
Dr. Taylor discovered and pioneered the field of exosome biology and their role in intercellular communication and immune regulation. He has been in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women's Health at the University of Louisville School of Medicine since 1992. Dr. Taylor published the initial article describing circulating tumor exosomes/microvesicles in 1979 (Anal. Biochem. 98:53-59, 1979). The research in his laboratory has primarily focused on the release and consequences of exosomes from gynecologic cancer and lung tumors. Over the past 30+ years, Dr Taylor has pioneered the isolation and characterization of circulating tumor-derived exosomes. His work has focused on characterization of circulating exosomes released by tumor cells for their role in immune regulation and induction of a pro-inflammatory tumor microenvironment. His work has demonstrated that the presence of specific circulating exosomal components have potential use as biomarkers for cancer patients.

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) Announces Launch of Exosome Sciences Subsidiary

SAN DIEGO - September 12, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), today announced the formal launch of Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI), a wholly-owned subsidiary previously established by Aethlon to pursue exosome-based strategies to diagnose and monitor the progression of cancer, infectious disease and other life-threatening conditions. Exosomes produced by diseased cells represent an optimal diagnostic target as they are shed into bodily fluids such as urine and blood where they can be easily accessed. Exosomes transport specific disease-origin markers that provide the basis for ESI to establish non-invasive liquid biopsies to diagnose and monitor a wide-range of disease conditions.

Aethlon Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce stated, "As a therapeutic organization, our primary focus is the clinical advancement and future commercialization of the Aethlon Hemopurifer® in the United States and abroad. With this mind, our objective with ESI is to transform a currently dormant and unvalued diagnostic asset into a stand-alone organization that contributes measurable asset value to Aethlon shareholders, yet does not dilute our team's focus away from advancing first-in-class therapeutic devices. It also became clear that the launch of ESI might allow us to leverage recent valuations that have been awarded to molecular diagnostic organizations with novel technology strategies."
Aethlon disclosed that ESI's research facility is being established within a CLIA certified laboratory located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. The facility is adjacent to the Philadelphia/New Jersey I-95 corridor, which is the home for numerous U.S. biopharmaceutical organizations, including Merck and Johnson & Johnson. The introduction of key ESI researchers who will lead the development and commercialization of next-generation diagnostics will occur through follow-on disclosures.
At present, Aethlon is preparing to launch the first U.S. studies of the Hemopurifier® as a therapy to address hepatitis c virus (HCV) based on the recent approval of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Hemopurifier is a first-in-class device that targets the rapid elimination of infectious disease and cancer glycopathogens, including exosomes from circulation. Exosomes enhance disease progression of viral infections and in cancer trigger apoptosis of immune cells and have been reported to facilitate tumor growth, metastasis, and the development of drug resistance.
Aethlon will contribute diagnostic related technology to ESI, including the Enzyme Linked Lectin Specific Assay (ELLSA), which has been validated to identify the presence of exosomes underlying the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis (TB), and various forms of cancer, including ovarian, melanoma, breast, lymphoma, and colorectal. ELLSA was originally created by Aethlon researchers as a tool to help validate the ability of the Hemopurifier® to capture tumor-secreted exosomes. At the time, effective tools to isolate and quantify exosomes did not exist as few labs conducted exosome research. Since then, an increased understanding of the role of exosomes underlying a wide-range of disease conditions has created a demand for related diagnostic products. As part of the relationship, ESI has agreed to assign any therapeutic related discoveries back to Aethlon Medical. Beyond the potential for future technology advances by ESI researchers, ESI may also in-license related diagnostic IP from collaborative research partners.

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) to Present at Exosomes and Circulating Biomarkers 2013 Summit

SAN DIEGO - September 5, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), announced today that Company Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce has accepted an invitation to present at the Exosomes and Circulating Biomarkers 2013 Summit on September 12th. Mr. Joyce's presentation is entitled; "Extracorporeal Elimination of Circulating Exosomes as a Therapeutic Adjunct to Address Infectious Disease and Cancer." The presentation will highlight the clinical advancement of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® in treating hepatitis c virus (HCV) and discuss the opportunity to expand therapeutic indications to include cancer based on targeting the elimination of circulating tumor-secreted exosomes. The conference will be held at the Town and Country Resort Hotel in San Diego, California.

Aethlon is currently preparing to launch the first U.S. studies of Hemopurifier® therapy based on the recent approval of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Under the IDE, Aethlon will enroll ten end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients infected with HCV as part of a feasibility study to demonstrate Hemopurifier safety. Successful completion of the feasibility study will set the stage for Aethlon to conduct pivotal studies required for market clearance to treat HCV and other disease conditions.
The conference abstract of the presentation follows:
Extracorporeal Elimination of Circulating Exosomes as a Therapeutic Adjunct to Address Infectious Disease and Cancer on 9/12/13 at 3:45pm pacific.
The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class device that targets the rapid elimination of infectious disease and cancer glycopathogens from circulation. In cancer, the Hemopurifier has been demonstrated to capture exosomes underlying lymphoma, melanoma, ovarian, and breast cancer. These microvesicular particles trigger apoptosis of immune cells and have been reported to facilitate tumor growth, metastasis, and the development of drug resistance.
In design, the Hemopurifier consists of the affinity lectin Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) immobilized in the outer-capillary space of plasma membrane technologies. The resulting mechanism provides selective target elimination as GNA binds high mannose signatures abundant on the surface of exosomes and viral glycoproteins. Studies of hepatitis c (HCV) infected patients receiving a three-treatment Hemopurifier protocol combined with interferon-based standard of care resulted in undetectable HCV in as little as seven days in hard-to-treat genotype-1 patients. The studies also documented the ability of the Hemopurifier to capture as many as 300 billion HCV copies during a single six- hour treatment. The FDA recently approved an IDE that allows for the initiation of US feasibility studies.

Medical Technology Research Alert: Zacks Small Cap Research Update for Aethlon Medical (OTCQB:AEMD); "Remain Encouraged By Ongoing Progress"

Point Roberts, WA, New York, NY - August 20, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including biotech and medical technology stocks, issues a research alert for Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCQB: AEMD). Yesterday Brian Marckx, CFA from Zacks Small Cap Research issued an update on the company entitled, “Remain Encouraged By Ongoing Progress”.

Excerpt from Zacks Small Cap Research, Brian Marckx, CFA:
Aethlon Medical (OTC BB:AEMD) filed their 10-Q for the fiscal first quarter ending 6/30/2013 on August 13th. Revenue came in in-line with our number with operating income coming in much better than our estimate as a result of AEMD doing a nice job of cutting operating expenses and conserving resources. AEMD booked $196k in DARPA contract revenue in Q1 which was in-line with our number. Revenue relates to the twelfth milestone under the DARPA contract (the fourth milestone under the year-2 contract). Subsequent to the end of fiscal Q1 AEMD invoiced for and was paid another $404k which relates to the thirteenth and fourteenth milestones.
AEMD also disclosed in the 10-Q that they have submitted to Battelle their first invoice for work the company is doing under the previously announced subcontract agreement that the company has with Battelle related to the $22.8 million systems integrator contract with DARPA. AEMD's initial invoice is for just over $20k which we assume will be recorded and collected in fiscal Q2. As a reminder, AEMD's subcontract is a time and materials contract so the total that AEMD will eventually bill will not be known until their work is completed. We do, however, think it's likely that there will be additional revenue contribution from this contract throughout the year.

Stem Cell Stock Alert: BioRestorative Therapies (OTCBB: BRTX) Receives Approval to Conduct Retrospective Safety Study on its Bulging/ Herniated Disc Procedure

JUPITER, Fla. - August 6, 2013 (Investorideas.com Newswire) BioRestorative Therapies Inc. ("BRT" or the "Company") (OTCQB: BRTX), a life sciences company focused on developing stem cell based cellular therapies for various personal medical applications, today announced that it has received approval from the Western Institutional Review Board ("the Board") to complete a retrospective safety study on selected subjects previously treated by the Company's brtxDISC™ bulging and herniated disc procedure. The study is titled "Re-consenting and Follow-Up of Adults from a Retrospective Study Using Autologous Transplantation of Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Degenerated Intervertebral Disc."

Study objectives are to determine the safety of subjects who received transplants of their own stem cells into their disc, using MRI and Quality of Life Questionnaires. The Board requires that all subjects must be able to consent for themselves to be enrolled in the study, which has been approved to take place at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic in Broomfield, Colorado.
The approval allows BRT to retrospectively collect and analyze clinical data on selected subjects who previously have been treated for bulging or herniated disc disease with the Company's novel brtxDISC™ procedure. These procedures were performed using BRT's proprietary therapeutic delivery device cannula system and its proprietary culture method isolating a selective population of mesenchymal stem cells. BRT expects to complete the study within a six-month period.
"This is a significant milestone in taking our brtxDISC™ procedure closer towards an FDA meeting to seek approval for the commencement of our clinical trial. We look forward to collecting this data with the ambition of meeting the safety requirements necessary for us to receive approval and start our trial," commented Mark Weinreb, Chief Executive Officer of BioRestorative Therapies. "Our goal is to compile and present the necessary data to the FDA with the goal of initiating a Phase I or Phase II clinical trial in the early part of next year."
About BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.
BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. ("BRT"), www.biorestorative.com, develops medical procedures using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells, designed for patients to undergo minimally invasive cellular-based treatments. BRT is developing the following scientific initiatives:

• brtxDISC™ Program (Disc Implanted Stem Cells), a non-surgical treatment for bulging and herniated discs that addresses the gap between non-invasive and invasive back procedures. This research is still in the non-clinical, investigational stage.

Medical Technology Stock Trading Alert: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) Trades at 52-Week High

Point Roberts, WA, New York, NY - August 6, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including biotech and medical technology stocks, issues a trading alert for Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCQB: AEMD). The stock closed Monday’s trading session at $0.1870, gaining 0.0270 or 16.88% on over 1.9 Million shares. The stock traded as high as $0.20, its 52- week high.

The stock made its first run in July when it announced FDA approval of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that allows the Company to initiate human feasibility studies of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® in the United States. The Hemopurifier ® is a first-in-class medical device that targets the rapid elimination of life-threatening infectious disease and cancer glycopathogens from circulation.
The next move was after news that Battelle, NxStage Medical (NASDAQ: NXTM), Inc. and Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) won a contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA. The contract funded in phases and could be as large as $22.83 million and last as long as four years -- is for leading one of DARPA's DLT System Integration projects. The project calls for Battelle and key subcontractors, NxStage and Aethlon, to design, develop, test and validate an advanced, portable medical device that exhibits the technical innovation for which DARPA projects are known, and to coordinate integration of key technologies developed during the overall DLT program. This funding does not include human clinical trials that may be required prior to military use and/or United States Food and Drug Administration clearance for sepsis-treatment technologies.
Reaching these key milestones followed by news that that the European Patent Office has provided the Company with a Decision to Grant a Patent entitled "METHOD OF REMOVAL OF VIRUSES FROM BLOOD BY LECTIN AFFINITY HEMODIALYSIS” has taken the stock to a new technical trading pattern.
The European Patent will be assigned Patent No. 1624784 and has been referenced in European Patent Office Bulletin No. 13/29.
