SUMMARY
About Us—Business Overview
We are a preclinical-stage
synthetic allogeneic iMSC therapy company. Our vision is to improve the lives of patients with difficult-to-treat diseases through innovative,
effective, and safe, but accessible cellular therapies, and our mission is to develop allogenic off-the-shelf cellular therapies, leveraging
induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells to target solid tumors and autoimmune diseases.
Corporate Information
Our
principal executive offices are located at 1035 Cambridge Street, Suite 18A, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02141, and our phone number is (617)
798-6700. We maintain a website at www.ernexatx.com. Information contained on, or accessible through, our website is not a part of and
is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
Private Placement
On March 31, 2025, the Company
entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with certain accredited investors and a related registration rights
agreement (the “RRA”). Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the investors, and the investors agreed
to purchase from the Company, in a private placement, an aggregate of 69,311,654 shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants to purchase
shares of common stock in lieu thereof) at a purchase price of $0.1046 per share, or $0.0996 per pre-funded warrant. The pre-funded warrants
will be exercisable until exercised in full at a nominal exercise of $0.005 per share and may not be exercised to the extent such exercise
would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Upon the initial closing of
the SPA, on April 2, 2025, we sold to the investors an aggregate of 9,934,016 shares of common stock and 509,736 pre-funded warrants (such
shares, including the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants equal to 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares as of March
31, 2025). The second closing under the SPA was subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including without limitation,
receipt of stockholder approval for such issuance as required under applicable Nasdaq listing rules. Pursuant to the SPA, we agreed to
hold a shareholder meeting to seek such shareholder approval as soon as reasonably possible, and no later than June 30, 2025 (or July
30, 2025 if the SEC reviewed the preliminary proxy statement for such meeting). The Company received the shareholder approval at the Company’s
annual meeting held on June 2, 2025.
Upon the second closing under
the SPA, on June 9, 2025, the Company sold to the investors an aggregate of 47,717,087 shares of common stock and 9,332,000 pre-funded
warrants. (The remaining subscription amount under the SPA of $190,248 for 1,818,815 shares has not yet been received.)
Under the RRA, the Company
agreed to file a registration statement for the resale of the shares issued, and the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants issued
in the initial closing under the SPA within 15 days of the initial closing under the SPA, and to file an additional registration statement
within 10 days after the second closing under the SPA, for the resale of the shares issued and the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants
issued under the second closing under the SPA. The Company also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to have the initial registration
statement declared effective within 45 days from the filing date (or 60 days if the registration statement was reviewed by the SEC) and
to have the additional registration statement declared effective within 30 days of the filing date (or 60 days if the registration statement
is reviewed by the SEC). The Company filed the initial registration statement on April 16, 2025, and such initial registration
statement was declared effective on April 29, 2025.
This prospectus covers the
resale of the 47,717,087 shares and 9,332,000 shares issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants issued in the second closing under
the SPA.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus includes forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events
or our future financial or operating performance. We may, in some cases, use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,”
“could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,”
“predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” or the negative of those terms,
and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements
reflect our management’s beliefs and views with respect to future events, are based on estimates and assumptions as of the date
of this prospectus and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results
to differ materially from those in these forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in greater detail in this prospectus
under “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, as well as those described in the other
documents we file with the SEC. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks,
nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Given these uncertainties, you should
not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as
may be required by applicable laws or regulations.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities
involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties
discussed below, as well as those under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC, and as incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as the same may be amended, supplemented or superseded by the
risks and uncertainties described under similar headings in the other documents that are filed by us after the date hereof and incorporated
by reference into this prospectus. Please also read carefully the section above titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
The sale of a substantial
amount of our common stock, including resale of the shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders in the public market, could
adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.
We are registering for resale
57,049,087 shares of common stock, including 9,332,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants held by the selling stockholders.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely
affect the market price of our common stock. We cannot predict if and when the selling stockholders may sell such shares in the public
market.
If
we fail to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, our common stock could be delisted.
The
Nasdaq Capital Market requires that listed companies satisfy certain continued listing requirements. Listing Rule 5500(a)(2) requires
that listed companies maintain a minimum bid price of their common stock of at least $1 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”).
Listing Rule 5550(b) requires that listed companies have: (1) stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million (the “Stockholders’
Equity Rule”; (2) a market value of listed securities (the “MVLS Rule”) of at least $35 million; or (3) net income from
continuing operations of $500,000 in the company’s most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three most recently completed
fiscal years.
On
December 30, 2024, we received notice from Nasdaq that we no longer met the Bid Price Rule and were provided until June 30, 2025 to regain
compliance with the Bid Price Rule. On January 6, 2025, we received notice from Nasdaq that we no longer met the MVLS Rule and were provided
until July 7, 2025 to regain compliance with the MLVS Rule. If at any time during the Bid Price Rule compliance period, our closing bid
price is at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180-day compliance period, Nasdaq will provide
written confirmation that we regained compliance with that rule. In the event we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by June
30, 2025, we may be eligible for consideration of a second 180-day compliance period if we meet the MLVS Rule and all other initial listing
standards for Nasdaq’s Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule. In addition, we would also be required to notify
Nasdaq of our intent to cure the Bid Price Rule deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If it appears to Nasdaq that
we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide us notice that our securities will
be subject to delisting.
Likewise,
if at any time during the MLVS Rule compliance period our MVLS closes at $35 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business
days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation that we have regained compliance with that rule. In the event we do not regain compliance
with the MVLS by July 7, 2025, Nasdaq will provide us notice that our securities will be subject to delisting, at which time, we may appeal
the delisting determination.
On
April 2, 2025, we completed an initial closing under the SPA and on June 9, 2025, we completed the second closing under the SPA for aggregate
gross proceeds of approximately $7.0 million (see “Summary—Private Placement”). As a result, subject to Nasdaq review,
we have stockholders’ equity in excess of $2.5 million. We intend to notify Nasdaq of our compliance with the Stockholders’
Equity Standard so that Nasdaq can determine whether we have regained compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing
on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
In
addition, at our annual shareholder meeting held on June 2, 2025, we received shareholder approval for a reverse stock split at a ratio
of 1-for-10 to 1-for-15, with the final ratio to be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors. We intend to complete a 1-for-15
reverse stock split to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule prior to the June 30, 2025 compliance deadline.
There
is no assurance we will regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements.
If
our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect
our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, then we could face significant material adverse consequences,
including: a material reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a corresponding material reduction in the trading price of our
common stock; a more limited market quotations for our securities; a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock”
that requires brokers to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary
trading market for our securities; more limited research coverage by stock analysts; loss of reputation; more difficult and more expensive
equity financings in the future; the potential loss of confidence by investors; and fewer business development opportunities.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of
the proceeds from any sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of
the shares will be paid directly to the selling stockholders.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The shares of common stock
being offered by the selling stockholders are those shares previously issued to the selling stockholders and shares underlying the pre-funded
warrants issued to the selling stockholders under the second closing under the SPA (see “Summary—Private Placement”).
We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to
time. Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock and as otherwise disclosed in this prospectus, the selling stockholders have
not had any material relationship with us within the past three years. None of the selling stockholders is a broker-dealer or an affiliate
of a broker-dealer.
The table below lists the
selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders.
The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of
the shares of common stock, as of June 10, 2025. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus
by the selling stockholders.
In accordance with the terms
of a registration rights agreements with the selling stockholders, this prospectus covers the resale of the number of shares of common
stock and shares underlying pre-funded warrants issued to the selling stockholders under the second closing under the SPA. The fourth
column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may
sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under
this prospectus. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size
of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms
then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions.
In addition, a selling stockholder
that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of securities to its members, partners or stockholders pursuant to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus with a plan of distribution. Such members, partners or stockholders
would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement. To the extent a distributee
is an affiliate of ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law), we may file a prospectus supplement in order to permit the distributees
to use the prospectus to resell the securities acquired in the distribution. The selling stockholders also may transfer the securities
in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners
for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by the selling stockholders that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor-in-interest
intends to sell our securities, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such
person as a selling stockholder.
Broker-dealers engaged by
the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts
to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a
customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in
compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale
of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders and
any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning
of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to
pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus
effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and
without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance
with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities
have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities
will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in
certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not, subject to certain exceptions,
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in
Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales
of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders
and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including
by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
Our common stock is listed
on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ERNA.” The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Computershare

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Section 102 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors
of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where
the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law,
authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal
benefit. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the extent permitted by law, no director shall be liable to us or
our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, subject to the exceptions referenced in DGCL Section
102.
Section 145(a) of the DGCL
provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation), because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner
he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL
provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except
that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which he or she shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expenses that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court shall deem proper.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL
provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred
by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power
to indemnify the person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.
Our restated certificate of
incorporation provides that we will indemnify, in the manner and to the full extent permitted by law, any person (or the estate of any
person) who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
and whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is or was our director,
officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Where required by law, the indemnification provided for shall be made only as authorized in
the specific case upon a determination in the manner provided by law, that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent
is proper under the circumstances. We may, to the full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such
person against any liability which may be asserted against him. To the full extent permitted by law, the indemnification provided shall
include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement, and in the manner provided by law any such expenses may be paid by us in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit or proceeding. The indemnification described herein does not limit our right to indemnify any other person for any
such expense to the full extent permitted by law, nor is it exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification
from us may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or
her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office
Our board of directors has
approved a form of indemnification agreement that has been executed by each of our directors and executive officers. In general, these
agreements provide that we will indemnify the director or executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising
in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer of our company or in connection with their service at our request for another
corporation or entity. The indemnification agreements also provide for procedures that will apply in the event that a director or executive
officer makes a claim for indemnification and establish certain presumptions that are favorable to the director or executive officer.
We also maintain a general liability insurance policy, which will cover certain liabilities of our directors and officers arising out
of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
Item 16. Exhibits.
Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period
in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table
in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section
do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that
is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration
by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose
of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(A) Each prospectus filed by
the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus
was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required
to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering
made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities
Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is
first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in prospectus. As provided
in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be
a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however,
that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated
or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as
to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;
and
(5) The undersigned hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(6) Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Cambridge, State of Massachusetts, on June 11, 2025.

Ernexa Therapeutics Inc.
1035 Cambridge Street, Suite 18A
Cambridge, MA 02141
Re: Common Stock registered under Registration
Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel
to Ernexa Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s registration statement
on Form S-3 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the resale by the selling stockholders named
therein of up to 57,049,087 shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share, of the Company, of which (i) 47,717,087 shares are issued
and outstanding (the “Outstanding Shares”), and (ii) 9,332,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares,” and together with
the Outstanding Shares, the “Shares”) are issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants. The Outstanding Shares and pre-funded
warrants were issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the selling
stockholders. The Shares are to be resold by the selling stockholders, as described in the Registration Statement.
This opinion is being delivered
in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined
originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following:
1. Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company;
2. Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company;
3. The Purchase Agreement;
4. The Registration Statement; and
5. Written consent of the Board of Directors of
the Company approving the Purchase Agreement.
We have also examined originals
or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and
receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as
we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions stated below.
In our examination, we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic,
certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our examination of executed documents,
we have assumed (i) that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform
all obligations thereunder and (ii) the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the execution and delivery
by such parties of such documents, and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties.

| 31ST FLOOR | NEW YORK, NY | 10036
T (212) 930-9700 | F (212) 930-9725 | WWW.SRFC.LAW

The opinion expressed below
is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by the laws of any
other jurisdiction.
Based on the foregoing, we
are of the opinion that (i) the Outstanding Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) the Warrant Shares, when
issued upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants pursuant to the terms and conditions of the pre-funded warrants will be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the
use of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement, and further consent to the reference to us in the Registration Statement.
In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of
the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
