SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 19, 2012) - Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc. ( OTCQB : BMSN ) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Regen BioPharma, Inc., has contracted Cascade Life Sciences, Inc. to research the safety and efficacy of Regen's HemaXellerate product usingmice models for testing.Cascade Life Sciences is a privately-owned San Diego-based company with a platform of stem cell related technologies that are being advanced to serve the research community and the commercial development of stem cell-based therapeutics. Sophia Khaldoyanidi, M.D., Ph.D. is the principal investigator of the study.

HemaXellerate offers the possibility of delivering a population of endothelial cells to restore blood production in patients with hematological conditions."Unlike current approaches of administering pharmaceuticals," said J. Christopher Mizer, President of Regen BioPharma, "our strategy is to heal the bone marrow by administering cells that provide the optimum mix of growth factors to stimulate the bone marrow into producing blood cells naturally."

Regen has submitted two provisional patent applications covering the use of different sources of endothelial cells to heal damaged bone marrow. These applications cover: (1) placental cells (61/648898 - Acceleration 0f Hematopoietic Reconstitution by Placental Endothelial and Endothelial Progenitor Cells); and (2) fat cells (61/670791 - Treatment of Hematopoietic Disorders).
