Bio-Matrix Scientific Group Inc.'s Regen BioPharma Subsidiary Executes Option Agreement to License Stem Cell Intellectual Property

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - June 07, 2012) - Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc. (OTCQB: BMSN) (PINKSHEETS: BMSN) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Regen BioPharma, Inc. has executed an exclusive option agreement which grants Regen BioPharma an option to license Patent #6,821,513 which patents methods of stimulating blood production in patients with deficient stem cells. The patent, as well as data licensed with the patent, covers methods of stimulating the bone marrow to generate new blood cells. The patent and option agreement are disclosed in the Company’s most recent 8K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on June 6, 2012.

“The technology has broad applicability to help cancer patients recover faster following chemotherapy, as well as for recipients of bone marrow and cord blood transplants. Currently, new blood cell production is stimulated by expensive drugs such as Neupogen and Neulasta which replicate the body’s growth factors but can cause side effects and rely upon the diminished recuperative powers of an immune compromised patient,” stated J. Christopher Mizer, President of Regen BioPharma.

David Koos, Chairman & CEO of Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, added, “We are excited to get this therapy into the clinic. Based on peer-reviewed published animal data, it has the potential to restore immune function faster and more effectively than the existing standard of care.”

The licensed technology covers the use of a naturally-occurring cell type for stimulation of bone marrow stem cells. By utilizing cells as opposed to drugs, Regen BioPharma believes it possesses a substantial advantage to existing approaches in terms of safety and economics of production. Currently the market for growth factors that stimulate blood making stem cells is more than $4.84 billion per year (www.wikinvest.com/stock/Amgen).
