Notes to Editors: 
 
Medgenics is a medical technology and therapeutics company focused on providing 
sustained protein therapies, having developed its unique tissue-based Biopump 
platform technology to provide sustained-action protein therapy for the 
treatment of a range of chronic diseases. The first revenue generating 
commercial deal with a well known multinational pharmaceutical company was 
negotiated in late 2009 and we look forward to generating additional deals to 
further commercialise the Biopump platform technology. 
 
Biopumps are made using needle biopsies taken from the lower layer of the 
patient's skin under local anaesthetic, and processed during 10-14 days to 
become 30 mm long tissue biofactories producing the required protein.  The 
requisite numbers of Biopumps are injected under the patient's skin to provide 
sustained protein production and delivery for several months. The Company is 
developing the Biopump to provide substantially greater safety and reliability 
in protein treatment in a more cost effective manner than experienced with the 
existing injected protein therapies.  Medgenics currently has three products in 
development based on this technology, addressing the indications of: 
 
- anaemia - using EPODURE, a Biopump producing erythropoietin (EPO) 
 
- hepatitis-C - using INFRADURE - a Biopump producing interferon-alpha (IFN-a) 
 
- haemophilia - using a Biopump to produce clotting Factor VIII 
 
The Company's Phase I/II clinical trial using EPODURE to treat anaemia in 
patients with chronic kidney disease has demonstrated proof of concept of the 
Biopump. Designed to produce and deliver a therapeutic dose of EPO steadily for 
six months or more, EPODURE Biopumps have already provided anaemia treatment in 
patients for 6 months or more, even at the low administered dose. 
 
Medgenics intends to develop its innovative products and bring them to market 
via multiple strategic partnerships with major pharmaceutical and/or medical 
device companies. In addition to treatments for anaemia, hepatitis-C and 
haemophilia, Medgenics plans to develop and/or out-license a pipeline of future 
Biopump products targeting the large and rapidly growing global protein therapy 
market, which is forecast to reach US $95 billion by the end of 2010. Other 
potential applications of Biopumps producing various proteins include multiple 
sclerosis, arthritis, paediatric growth hormone deficiency, obesity, and 
diabetes.
