$NSTM NovelStem Announces FDA Pre-Submission and EMA In Vitro Diagnostic Device Filing for Revolutionary Life-Saving, Treatment-Changing Diagnostic Device by 30%-Owned NewStem, LtdPress Release | 04/11/2022
Jerusalem, Israel and Boca Raton, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - April 11, 2022) - NovelStem International Corp. (OTC Pink: NSTM), a biotechnology company focused on the stem cell-based technology platform developed by 30%-owned, Israel-based NewStem Ltd., today announced NewStem's filing of a pre-submission to the FDA for a De Novo Request and an in vitro diagnostic device (IVDD) for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMA) for their NewStem Software Diagnostic Device. The announcement followed the company's graduation from Illumina's Accelerator 3rd funding cycle in March 2022.
The NewStem Software Diagnostic Device (NSDD) is a bioinformatics-based software medical device platform that provides oncologists with information regarding the presence of mutations in tumors, which may confer patient resistance to certain anti-cancer drugs. The information provided by NSDD will aid oncologists when deciding which treatment regime to apply.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. Despite efforts and achievements made in treating cancer over the past several decades, resistance to anti-cancer drugs continues to be a major problem in cancer therapies. Resistance is the leading cause of relapses in cancer and one of the significant causes of death due to the disease. Drug resistance (whether pre-existing or generated after therapy) is responsible for over 90% of deaths in cancer patients receiving traditional chemotherapeutics or novel targeted drugs treatments.
NewStem is a biotechnology company established as a bio-platform for genome wide screenings based on proprietary Haploid human Embryonic Stem Cell (HhESC) technology. These cells can potentially change how we develop genetic based therapeutics and diagnostics, as they are superior to other cells used for whole genome screenings. NewStem is currently the only company worldwide to develop innovative practice-changing products based on this innovative and exclusive technology. NewStem is now raising funds to deepen its internal personnel capabilities and for further research and development of its pipeline products.
"The technology, based on our proprietary haploid cells, has changed the dogma and enables what was formerly impossible," says NewStem founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Prof. Nissim Benvenisty. "NSDD will give oncologists a better understanding of the many variances that present challenges in the treatment of cancer and in the identification of drug-type resistance. That is unprecedented."

NSTM 0.08 X 0.1 missed this news in December; NovelStem Increases NewStem Ownership to 27.3% Following Achievement of Development Milestones for Stem-Cell-Based Cancer Treatments Resistance Diagnostic
https://apnews.com/44feba749aace8d6654c39ba7db5097a
BOCA RATON, Fla. and JERUSALEM, Israel, Dec. 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NovelStem International Corp. (OTC Pink: NSTM ), a biotechnology company focused on stem-cell-based diagnostic technology to aid the selection of cancer therapeutic agents being developed by its Israel-based affiliate, NewStem Ltd., today announced it has completed a $1 million follow-on investment in NewStem, increasing its ownership in NewStem to 27.3% from 20%.
The additional investment was made following NewStem’s successful, on-time completion of the first milestone requirements established at the time of its initial investment in July 2018. This included set up and analysis of resistance to five anti-cancer treatments that are the standard-of-care, enabling it to further develop diagnostics for identifying patient resistance to those treatments. In July 2018, NovelStem also secured the right to increase its ownership in NewStem up to 33% pursuant to second milestone requirements. NovelStem expects to further increase its ownership following NewStem’s achievement of these second milestone requirements, relating to the identification of patient resistance to three additional standard-of-care anti-cancer treatments, increasing the total to eight drugs. Upon achievement of the second milestone, NovelStem will increase its ownership to 33% through the investment of an additional $1 million.
Drug resistance in tumors is a major cause of cancer treatment failure, yet in nearly 50% of cancer cases this resistance is recognized only after the completion of the first course of treatment. NewStem’s diagnostic technology can predict patients’ resistance to anti-cancer drugs prior to treatment, potentially allowing for better, targeted cancer treatments and related cost benefits.
Source of Investment FundsNovelStem’s $1 million investment was funded principally by internally generated funds, totaling $750,000. The balance of $250,000 was funded by the sale of 2.5 million shares of NovelStem restricted common stock, priced at $0.10 per share, to an existing NovelStem shareholder.
NewStem CEO Aylet Dilion Mashiah commented, “NewStem is making solid progress advancing its diagnostic technology for anti-cancer drugs resistance. We are privileged working with Novelstem directors to advance this important unmet diagnostic need.”
Jan Loeb, NovelStem Chairman, commented, “We are excited to increase our ownership interest to 27.3% through additional investment comprised primarily of internally-generated funds. We look forward to working closely with the NewStem team and continuing our support of their ground-breaking work.”

About Hollywood Media (www.hollywoodmedia.com)
Hollywood Media Corp. owns a 50% interest in Netco Partners, a joint venture that owns the Net Force publishing franchise, which delves into the thrilling and fast-paced worlds of digital crimes, espionage and crypto-currencies. Hollywood Media plans to relaunch Net Force with new books starting in early 2019.
A story-arc outline for an additional five Net Force books has been completed and the manuscripts for the first two books in the franchise reboot have already been written. A literary agent has been retained to seek publishers to publish these books in four formats – hardcover, eBooks, streaming audio books and podcast editions -- at an anticipated rate of one book launch every 9-12 months.
The initial series of ten Net Force books was published in paperback between 1999 and 2006. Each was a New York Times Bestseller, millions of copies were sold worldwide, and Net Force was also the subject of a TV miniseries on ABC. Cash distributions to Hollywood Media of licensing fees from the Net Force franchise have totaled approximately $11.3 million.
The new Net Force is vastly expanded from its original status as a branch of the FBI. The series is now set in the near future where Net Force is a Cabinet-level department, integrating elite members of the Nation’s intelligence, law enforcement and scientific agencies with dedicated SpecialOps units from the armed services, to investigate digital crimes involving espionage and crypto-currencies.
