(TSXV: NRX) (OTCQB: NRXBF) (FSE: J90) (“\n \n NurExone\n \n ” or the “\n \n Company\n \n ”), a preclinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering exosome-based therapies for central nervous system injuries, is pleased to announce that its preclinical data on optic nerve regeneration study was presented today at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (“\n \n ARVO\n \n ) in Salt Lake City Utah, the world's largest and most respected vision science conference.\n \n\n The data, presented by Prof. Ygal Rotenstreich, lead investigator and Director of the Retinal Research Lab at Sheba Medical Center, showed that ExoPTEN restored retinal activity and improved optic nerve structure in a controlled rat model of optic nerve compression. The study, initially announced in\n \n July\n \n and\n \n December 2024\n \n , has since been expanded to include a larger group of animals.\n \n\n Prof. Ygal Rotenstreich commented “We’re proud to present this progress in optic nerve regeneration at ARVO, where the future of vision science is shaped”. He further noted “Our presentation generated a lot of interest from our peers and the scientific community who are anxiously awaiting real breakthroughs in this field.\n \n\n Prof. Michael Belkin, founder of Tel Aviv University's Goldschleger Eye Research Institute where the study took place and a member of NurExone’s Scientific Advisory Board, noted “The results presented at ARVO show a distinct possibility that ExoPTEN can be used in treating optic nerve pathologies. We are proceeding to study an actual glaucoma model to examine the possibility of treating optic nerves which cause vision incapacitation from this common disease.”\n \n\n Dr. Lior Shaltiel, CEO of NurExone also added “We’re seeing damaged neurons survive and regain function in models that were previously considered irreversible, challenging long-standing assumptions in neurodegeneration. Acute glaucoma carries a high risk of irreversible blindness and an associated eco...
