Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. Files Patent on AmnioStemtm Mediated Immune Reprogramming for Stroke


PHOENIX and SAN DIEGO, May 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CELZ) (the "Company") announced today the filing of a patent application covering a novel means of suppressing inflammation associated with stroke by reprogramming immune cells of the stroke victim.

The patent application teaches ways of using the Company's patented AmnioStemtm allogeneic stem cell to 'educate' immune cells from stroke patients so as to reduce inflammation associated with stroke. By reducing inflammation, the Company hopes to develop novel means of increasing efficacy of therapeutic agents in stroke patients.

"We are highly enthusiastic with our current data, which seems to suggest that AmnioStemtmcells are not only capable of inducing regeneration of injured brains, but also can be used to 'reprogram' immune system cells of patients in order to reduce inflammation that occurs subsequent to stroke," said Timothy Warbington, President and CEO of Creative Medical Technology Holdings. "Working together with immunologists, neurologists, and stem cell experts, we are fortunate to have a team that can attack the problem of stroke in a multidisciplinary manner."

It is known that the immune system contributes to the deterioration of brain functions after a stroke. For example, studies in the mouse model of stroke have shown that if certain immune cells are depleted, the neurological impact of a stroke is diminished.1 It is also known that part of the therapeutic activities of stem cells in a stroke are mediated by alterations of the immune system.2

"We are confident that the novel findings presented in the patent application will pave the way for using AmnioStemTM treated patient immune cells as a means of suppressing pathological responses, which is applicable not only to strokes, but to a wide variety of neuroinflammatory conditions including multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injuries," said Thomas lchim, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Creative Medical Technology Holdings.
