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."
