19. Corneal repair: corneal endothelium derived from hESCs
• 10 million people with corneal blindness
• Cornea the most transplanted organ (1/3 due to endothelial failure)
• Solutions: Tx of whole cornea “Penetrating Keratoplasty” (PKP)
– More popular: Tx corneal endothelium & Descemet’s membrane (DSEK)
hESC-derived cells resemble normal human corneal endothelium
Optimized
cryopreservation
(CECs can now be
sent world-wide)

27. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
27
Found in bone marrow, adipose, umbilical
cord, tooth buds
Can differentiate into fat, bone, cartilage
MSCs are immunoprivileged and can:
- migrate to injury site
- exert immunosuppressive effects
- facilitate tissue repair
Over 200 clinical trials
(www.clinicaltrials.gov)
- wide range of clinical indications being
pursued
- companies such as Pluristem,
Mesoblast, Neostem are developing
MSC-based therapies using BM or
other primary sources of MSCs
28. hESC-MSCs versus adult derived MSCs
●
●
●
●
●
●
“Off the shelf” therapy available for immediate use
Unlimited cell source
Easy to derive
Can be expanded to large numbers in vitro
More youthful and live much longer
Potentially greater efficacy
(older MSCs often serve as negative controls)
● Hemangioblast-derived hESC-MSCs exponentially
greater yields than other reported hESC methods
A sampling of their in vivo efficacy
will be given in the following slides
28
>30,000 X more units from hESC-MSCs
than from adult bone marrow MSCs
29. Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis in Mice (EAE model)
hESC-MSCs dramatically reduce clinical
symptoms of EAE
both prophylactic and therapeutic
inhibition
In vitro inhibition of T-cell function
Differential cytokine expression (hESCMSCs vs. BM-MSCs)
Differential ability to migrate into damaged
tissues (hESC-MSCs vs.
BM-MSCs)
Untreated
Clinical Score: 2-4
(partial to complete
hind/front leg paralysis)
hESC-MSC Treated*
Additional follow-up studies being
completed for scientific publication (based
on reviewer suggestions)
Clinical Score: <1
(no leg paralysis)
Multiple sclerosis is a leading candidate for
clinical translation
*BM-MSCs had minimal impact (animals still showed paralysis)
29
30. hESC-MSC treatment for Uveitis
Untreated EAU mice
An inflammatory/auto-immune condition of the uvea
Accounts for 10% of blindness in US (mostly 20-40
year olds)
Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) in mice
resembles
that of human uveitis
Disease state can be assessed using funduscope
imaging/histology
30
PMN and lymphocytes
Preliminary studies show
that hESC-MSC treatment
is effective in treating EAU
uveitis
31. hESC-MSC treatment for SLE/Lupus Nephritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease that can
effect virtually any organ or system in the body
There is no cure for SLE
SLE most often harms the heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, and nervous
system
50% of SLE patients get lupus nephritis (LN)
Immune complex deposition in kidney glomeruli leads to kidney dysfunction/failure
NZB/NZW mice spontaneously develop lupus nephritis (very similar to human SLE)
NZB/NZW lupus model
hESC-MSCs have a dramatic effect on
morbidity (including proteinuria/kidney
function
Protect from death (show marked
improvement in survival)
Lead candidate for clinical translation
31
32. hESC-MSC treatment for Pain
PAIN behavior can be
measured in mice using
operant equipment (using a
reward/conflict paradigm)
hESC-MSCs significantly
reduce chemotherapyinduced neuropathy in
response to taxol
Also a candidate for clinical
translation
32
33. Potential therapeutic applications for MSCs
33
>100 autoimmune diseases
Multiple Sclerosis
Osteoarthritis
Lupus
Aplastic Anemia
No need for immunosuppression
Crohn’s Disease/IBS
Chronic Pain
Persist transiently

Filed Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD)
application with the FDA to treat 10 different
disease indications
Naturally-occurring diseases in large animals,
such as dogs, provide an excellent model of
human conditions. May provide a more robust
assessment of safety and therapeutic endpoints
than what can be obtained from inbred rodent
models
Initiated collaboration with Tufts University
School of Veterinary Medicine, which has a large
population of suitable patients, and world-experts
in regenerative medicine
Have already received IACUC approval to begin
several of the studies
In additional to the obvious veterinary
applications, the results may help inform and
optimize human clinical trials
36. Improving the Balance Sheet, and therefore the Company to Position a 2014 up-listing
ACT - Current
~$4m - $5m cash on hand and funding
itself through bi-daily issuances of
~2.5m shares of common stock
The Company draws from the market
slightly less than it spends, in order to
build its cash balance, albeit slowly
This funding vehicle puts continuous
downward pressure on stock and is not
enabling of scale up as we prepare for
larger clinical trials
ACT – end of 2013/early 2014
Raising a tranche of funds ($10m - $15m) in
the near-term will improve the balance
sheet, and therefore the stability of the
company
Will also decrease our reliance on the
frequent draws, therefore reducing the
constant downward pressure on the stock
Having ~12 months of cash in the bank will
allow the Company to be more strategic as
it pursues clinical expansion, corporate
development and Nasdaq listing
ACT has never had real balance sheet strength and has therefore
been forced to make decisions from a “less than optimal” position
36
37. Why Up-List to Nasdaq?
“Over-the-Counter”
OTC companies are sometimes
associated as being of “poor quality”
Naked shorting can damage
shareholder value
Trading/liquidity is less efficient
Equity research analysts want to cover
and support companies on national
exchanges
Institutional investors who can invest
substantial capital are less likely to
invest in “penny stocks” no matter how
great the company
Nasdaq Listed
“Class effect”, being a Nasdaq-listed
company carries with it a cache of quality,
based partly on perception and largely on the
strict listing requirements
Increased shareholder protection due to
stringent listing requirements
Institutional investors have expressed
interest in investing substantial capital into
ACT, after up-listing
Building a syndicate of equity research
analysts who cover the Company can create
additional demand for the shares
Management
believes that
a Nasdaq uplisting is in
the best
interest of all
stakeholders
Completing a fully marketed financing deal that includes a broad syndicate of
bankers and analysts could capitalize the Company through Phase II, and create
global awareness of the ACT story
