 NeoStem Inc. (AMEX: NBS)

In a market populated by bright ideas and bold optimism it’s often difficult for a company’s genuine successes to stand out amid a chorus of hyperbole. In fact, it can be most difficult for companies endeavoring in the trenches to have their watershed moments be fully appreciated.

So, when influential columnist Gene Marcial writes a feature article on NeoStem Inc. (AMEX:NBS) that appears in today’s ‘Inside Wall Street’ section of BusinessWeek’s print magazine and on www.BusinessWeek.com highlighting the company’s next generation biomedical services targeting an enormous market for adult stem cell therapeutics and services, it should signal to investors that this company greatly exceeds the run-of-the-mill upstart.

NeoStem Announces BusinessWeek Article in Latest Issue Highlighting Company’s 
Next Generation Biomedical Services

Article by Respected Investment Columnist Gene Marcial Features NeoStem’s Strategic Business Model Targeting Projected $8.5 Billion Market

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NeoStem, Inc. (AMEX:NBS - News), the first company to specialize in the collection, processing and storage of stem cells from healthy adults for personal use in times of critical medical need, has announced that influential business columnist Gene Marcial has written a feature article on NeoStem that appears in today's BusinessWeek print magazine and on www.BusinessWeek.com that highlight's the Company's next generation biomedical services targeting what the article cites as the projected $8.5 billion market for adult stem cell therapeutics and services.

The BusinessWeek article, which appears in Mr. Marcial's "Inside Wall Street" column, provides additional mainstream media coverage and insight into the Company's position at the forefront of what the Company believes to be a bold new shift in the medical industry where the patient's own body would provide the materials, such as adult stem cells, necessary to formulate potentially lifesaving therapies.

"As the biotechnology industry expands the number of diseases treatable by stem cell therapies, astute institutional investors are buying into businesses that can serve this projected $8.5 billion market," said Mr. Marcial in his column titled "NeoStem Attracts healthy Investment for Stem Cell Services."

Mr. Marcial's article also quotes well-known healthcare venture capitalist and long-time NeoStem investor John Pappajohn, "NeoStem is a leader and an innovator in a burgeoning healthcare category and its value can only be enhanced as it establishes more direct applications for its novel technology."

"We believe the BusinessWeek article provides a fair and accurate description of what we at NeoStem are working very hard to accomplish," said Robin Smith, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NeoStem. "We believe that this high-profile business coverage can only help to serve our shareholders as NeoStem moves towards executing on our mission to become a leader in the coming era of adult stem cell therapeutics."

"With its new capital base, NeoStem is focusing on marketing, sales and business development," continued the BusinessWeek article. "With its processing and storage laboratory in California and a network of collection centers opening across the U.S., a flagship center is on the horizon for New York City, which will gain NeoStem even more attention and revenue. An August 24 research report from Murphy Analytics, a fee-based firm, projects a 12-month target share price of $9.25."

    About NeoStem


NeoStem, Inc. (AMEX: NBS)

NeoStem, Inc. ("NeoStem" "Neo" "NBS") is a next generation biotechnology services company enhancing the delivery of adult stem cell therapeutics to health-conscious consumers. NBS is developing a nationwide network of adult stem cell collection centers, enabling people to donate and store their own stem cells for personal use years or decades later in times of critical medical need.

The proprietary NeoStem technologies empower health-conscious consumers to help protect their future health by storing their own stem cells - providing an accessible supply of healthy, genetically matched stem cells.

Independent market researchers estimate that stem cell therapy sales in the United States are projected to reach more than $700 million by 2010 and $8.5 billion by 2016, based on therapies being investigated. Currently underway are nearly 200 research programs specifically involving the use of autologous adult stem cells – those donated by individuals for their personal use. As the nation’s population ages and encounters serious age-related and congenital health issues, NeoStem has positioned itself as a leader in the fast-growing national trend toward personal “bio-insurance.”

Prospective NeoStem customers include: health conscious individuals, persons with genetic risk factors, patients in pre-disease states or early disease states, individuals with job-related risk factors such as radiation exposure, and others. Adult stem cell therapies being investigated include potential treatments of serious injury and illness, such as cancer, heart disease, spinal cord injury, as well as age-related conditions such as Alzheimer’s and macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness.

Unlike controversial embryonic stem cell technologies, adult stem cells have a 40-year history of successful, real world therapeutic application. Life saving progress in this field has already been made for the treatment of heart disease, lupus, multiple sclerosis, cancer, diabetes and many other critical health problems - currently comprising a patient population of more than 50 million patients in the United States alone.

Neo's service model does not take years of development before generating revenues and thus minimizes the risk related to most long-term biopharmaceutical research and development. Under Management’s strategic initiatives, NeoStem has already begun opening a nationwide network of adult stem cell collection centers, and NeoStem will process and store these stem cells. The collection technologies and processes will be located in existing physician offices and medical facilities, where the procedures can be administered by trusted personal physicians and medical professionals.

 * * * What is a Stem Cell ? * * *

A stem cell is a special kind of cell that has the unique capacity to replicate or “self-renew” over a long period of time, often throughout the life of an organism. Under the right conditions or given the right signals, stem cells have the potential to develop into the specialized cells that make up the tissues and organs of the body, such as heart cells, nerve cells and even inner ear hair cells.

Adult stem cells are undifferentiated or unspecialized cells that are found embedded in specialized tissue. Adult stem cells are capable of making identical copies of themselves for the lifetime of the organism. They can form themselves into specialized cells that match the tissues from which they originate, thereby regenerating from within. For example, stem cells taken from bone marrow can give rise to new blood cells even after they are transplanted elsewhere. There is evidence that adult stem cells have even greater potential than this and that they may be used to generate many more cell types than just the cells of the organ from which they were removed.

Millions of Americans suffer from diseases that can be treated with their own stem cells

By 2010, it is estimated that 39% of the U.S. population (over 110 mm people) will be 45 years of age or older. There is an anticipated rapid increase in age associated diseases and “Bio-Insurance” - banking someones own stem cells for future use to treat a disease - will become BIG BUSINESS.

NeoStem Announces Update of Research Coverage by Murphy Analytics

Report Projects 12-Month Target Price of $9.25 Following Recent Capital Raise, Listing on American Stock Exchange and Continued Execution of Business Plan

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NeoStem, Inc. (AMEX:NBS - News), the first company to specialize in the collection, processing and storage of stem cells from healthy adults for personal use in times of critical medical need, announced that Murphy Analytics (MA), a fee-based equity research firm, has issued a research report update that projects a 12-month target share price of $9.25 citing the Company's improved financial position, strong senior management team and its recent listing on the American Stock Exchange.

"With capital and key personnel in place, NBS may now focus on marketing, sales and business development - driving business through the existing collection agreements, and building the collection infrastructure," said the Murphy Analytics Report, written by Patrick Murphy, C.F.A. "With the capital to implement a multi-faceted direct to consumer marketing campaign, NBS customer acquisition should begin in earnest over the next few quarters, driven initially by existing collection agreements."

"We are pleased for this report to be readily available for all our current shareholders as well as for potential investors," said Robin Smith, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NeoStem. "Although paid for by the Company, NeoStem's management believes the report presents a balanced view and is pleased that Murphy Analytics has generated this institutional-quality report."

According to the report, "MA is affirming a 12-month target price of $9.25, adjusted for the August 2007 reverse stock split."

NeoStem's proprietary technology positions the company at the forefront of a bold new shift in the medical industry where the patient's own body would provide the materials, such as adult stem cells, necessary to formulate therapies that have, until recently, been provided by pharmaceutical companies in the form of synthetic, chemically engineered drugs.

NeoStem has already begun opening a nationwide network of adult stem cell collection centers. The stem cells are collected by a trusted physician and the process is minimally invasive involving a shot of Neupogen in the days before collection that causes stem cells to rapidly enter the blood stream; blood is then drawn; a separation of the stem cells from other blood components through a process called apheresis occurs; and then the immediate return of such blood components to the self donor. It is a relatively easy procedure that takes approximately 3 hours, but provides patients with the peace-of-mind of knowing that they will have their own, healthy adult stem cells should the need arise.

NeoStem Announces Milestone Patent Filing Establishing Model 
for Next Generation Bio-Medical Infrastructure

Company’s Proprietary Capabilities Can Deliver Designer Stem Cell Biotherapies to Patients in Forecasted Multibillion Dollar Healthcare Sector

NEW YORK—August 17, 2007 -- NeoStem, Inc. (AMEX: NBS), the first company to specialize in the collection, processing and storage of stem cells from healthy adults for personal use in times of critical medical need, announced today that it has filed a far-reaching patent application that initiates the process of safeguarding the Company’s proprietary procedures for collecting, storing and developing potential biotherapies from adult stem cells derived from a patient’s own body. The application encompasses several groundbreaking concepts that include next generation biomedical services such as bio-insurance and the formulation of designer stem cell-related therapies for healthy individuals interested in mitigating potential health conditions in the future.

NeoStem’s proprietary technology positions the company at the forefront of a bold new shift in the medical industry where the patient’s own body would provide the materials, such as adult stem cells, necessary to formulate therapies that have, until recently, been provided by pharmaceutical companies in the form of synthetic, chemically engineered drugs.

"We believe NeoStem is positioned to take a leadership role in the emerging stem cell therapeutic market by fractionating the cells for the treatment of different diseases in what many medical doctors and scientists believe to be the next great revolution in medicine," said Robin Smith, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NeoStem. "We believe we are at the threshold of stem cells being a mainstream therapeutic that will dramatically change how medicine is practiced in the future. NeoStem is firmly committed to protect and continue to build a robust portfolio of pending patents as a means to securing long-term value for our shareholders."

NeoStem’s first-to-market competitive advantage uniquely positions the Company to capitalize on the hundreds of adult stem cell-based clinical therapy trials currently underway. As these stem cell-based therapies become available, NeoStem clients will be among the first to benefit from the life saving progress that has already been made for such debilitating conditions as cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and many others. 

"It is important for investors to understand that we believe that our proprietary technology positions us above and beyond the processes currently being employed by cord blood banks, which simply inject the entire spectrum of stem cells without regard to the specific disease target," said Denis Rodgerson, Ph.D., Director of Stem Cell Science of NeoStem. "We believe that the NeoStem service offering will prove to be heads and shoulders above any other stem cell services company."

The NeoStem process begins when a physician or health industry professional identifies a individual who could benefit from having their stem cells collected and banked. Candidates for bio-insurance include a broad range of adults, including health conscious individuals, someone with genetic risk factors, or patients in early-disease states. Once the physician has extracted the patient’s stem cells from peripheral blood (through a non-invasive, easy-to-administer process) the stem cells are sent to a NeoStem facility to be cryopreserved, stored and characterized. If the need arises in the future, NeoStem clients may benefit from prompt access to therapeutically useful, genetically matched adult stem cells. NeoStem generates revenues from every stage of that process. MORE
