SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 7, 2015) - Regen BioPharma Inc. (OTCBB: RGBP) (OTC PINK: RGBP) announced today that the 13th International Symposium on Myelodysplastic Syndromes has accepted three presentations prepared by Regen BioPharma Inc. The accepted abstracts highlight the work being done in the Company's area of expertise in Aplastic Anemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome. The link to the conference is http://mds.kenes.com
Myelodysplastic Syndrome is a disease of bone marrow failure, where blood cells fail to form because bone marrow stem cells fail to differentiate. The Company has filed one IND in this space on HemaXellerate treatment for aplastic anemia and is working on preclinical development of DiffronC, an siRNA based therapeutic targeting cancer stem cell genes involved in blood cell differentiation.
The three presentations are:
- HEMAXELLERATE I™, AUTOLOGOUS ADIPOSE STROMAL VASCULAR FRACTION CELLS, FOR SEVERE APLASTIC ANEMIA
- NR2F6 (EAR-2) IS A NOVEL LEUKEMIA AND MDS ONCOGENE, OVER-EXPRESSED IN PATIENTS, THAT INHIBITS HEMATOPOIETIC DIFFERENTIATION AND BLOCKS ERYTHROPOIETIC DIFFERENTIATION AT THE PROERYTHROCYTE STAGE
- TECHNIQUE FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF LONG TERM IN VITRO CULTURES OF PRIMARY MDS CELLS
Regen's Chairman & CEO David Koos stated, "These three presentations represent an exciting turning point for the Company. We are gaining credibility and exposure in our fields of research among the top biotechnology scientists around the world. This should lead to potential collaborations that aid in our future progress."
