Stem Cell Therapeutics Corp. ("SCT") (TSX VENTURE: SSS) today announced that Dr. V. Wee Yong, of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute from the University of Calgary, will be presenting on behalf of SCT at the 25th Congress of the European Committee for the Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis ("ECTRIMS") which is being held in Dusseldorf, Germany, September 9-12, 2009.

Dr. V. Wee Yong's presentation will discuss the safety and efficacy of prolactin in the animal model of multiple sclerosis ("MS"), experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. The result of the work Dr. Yong and his team have done, has led to the design of a clinical trial in MS with Dr. Yong's colleagues at the University of Calgary, specifically Drs. Luanne Metz and Fiona Costello of the MS Clinic at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, Alberta, and SCT.

Dr. Alan Moore, President and CEO of SCT, commented as follows:

"We are excited that Dr. Yong will be presenting at this international thought-leading MS conference as his work is clearly at the forefront for potential MS treatments. We look forward to initiating a clinical trial using prolactin to treat MS by the end of this year."
