Qrons Completes Successful In-Vivo Experiment with its QS100 Candidate Product for Treating Penetrating Brain Injuries in an Animal Model

Detailed experimental results were filed in a second provisional patent application for "Techniques for Promoting Neuronal Recovery."

Preparing for animal In-vivo efficacy experiments with its QS200™ Candidate Product for treating Concussions and other Diffused Axonal Injuries.

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2019 / Qrons Inc. (OTC PINK: QRON) ("Qrons "or the "Company"), a preclinical biotechnology company developing advanced stem cell-synthetic hydrogel based solutions to combat neuronal injuries with a laser focus on treating traumatic brain injuries ("TBIs"), announced today that it had reached a milestone with the development of its two candidate products, QS100™ for treating penetrating brain injuries and QS200™, for treating concussions and other diffused axonal Injuries.

Both QS100™ and QS200™ integrate proprietary, modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and smart synthetic material. QS100™ is an injury specific, 3D printable, implantable MSCs-synthetic compound, to treat penetrating brain injuries (such as gunshot wounds, motor vehicle accidents and falls) and QS200™ is an injectable MSCs-synthetic compound for the treatment of diffused injuries commonly referred to as concussions.QS100™ has demonstrated astrogliosis inhibition and induction of neuronal differentiation in in-vivo animal experiments while QS200™ research was expedited and is near completion with further pre-clinical experiments scheduled to determine its efficacy for concussions and diffused brain injuries.

The Company believes that its latest advances provide a superior stem cells/synthetic hydrogel integration which will enable the precise, effective and controlled delivery of Qrons' proprietary modified stem cells.

As a result of its on-going research, the Company has filed a second provisional application for its patent - Techniques for Promoting Neuronal Recovery which was filed in April 2018 and includes further technological developments and data. The Company is working on filing additional patent applications to protect its intellectual property.

Ido Merfeld, co-founder and Head of Product stated "We have substantiated our previous pre-clinical studies with further in-vivo animal experiments. The foundation of our science has further led us to expedite the completion of the development of QS200™, our candidate product to treat concussions. We are excited to be able to unleash the potential of our candidate products to a broader spectrum of traumatic brain injuries in the future".

Jonah Meer, co-founder and CEO remarked, "I am proud of the scientific achievements to date. We believe that the advances our researchers have made provide hope to those suffering a TBI and that our QS200™ candidate product will provide solutions to deal with concussions and various other forms of TBI.
