BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.
(OTCBB: BCLI)
BrainStorm is a leading developer of stem cell
technologies to provide treatments for
currently incurable neurodegenerative
diseases.
The Company is focused on developing NTF
cells from the patient's own bone marrow in
order to treat, Parkinson, ALS, and Spinal
Cord Injury.

Parkinson Disease
PD is a degenerative disorder of the central
nervous system (loss of dopamine-containing
nerve cells) that often impairs the sufferer's
motor skills, speech and other functions.
 Large and growing population of Parkinson Disease patients
(4 M in the Western world).
 Heavy social burden (according to NINDS, $26B in the U.S.
annually).
 Disease anatomy and pathology is well known, although
causes are still obscure.
 Affects a clearly defined region of the brain, the substantia
nigra.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Disease
ALS (sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease) is a
progressive, usually fatal, neurodegenerative
disease caused by the degeneration of motor
neurons, the nerve cells in the central nervous
system that control voluntary muscle movement.
 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) each year. Total 30,000 patients in
the US. & 100,000 around the world.
 Fatal progressive loss of motor neurons in brain and spinal cord.
 Leads to gradual loss of movement ability, culminating in death.
 One approved drug – Rilutek (Riluzole) affords only an additional
few months of life.
 Pressing need for new effective therapies.

Advantage of Cell Therapy
Cell technologies may offer a major
improvement over medication, as
they target the diseased cell or organ
and replace it with a healthy
alternative.
Adult Stem Cells
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells, found
throughout the body after embryonic development,
that multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells
and regenerate damaged tissues.
Adult Stem Cells (From Bone Marrow)
Advantages:
6
 Non tumor forming.
 More than 40 years safety record.
 Harvested from patient – therapy
does not require immunosupression.
 Unlike embryonic stem cells, the
use of adult stem cells in research
and therapy is not considered to be
controversial as they are derived
from adult tissue samples rather
than human embryos.
