| g. Entest BioMedical Files Patent Application for Selective Targeting of Stem Cells to Lung Using Photoceutical Devices -- New Technology to Increase Efficacy of Adult Stem Cells in COPD Treatment ( November 4, 2009) Entest BioMedical (OTCBB: ENTB) announced today it has filed a second patent application in the area of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This new patent application builds upon the Company’s previously filed COPD patent application and involves the use of photoceutical devices to target stem cells toward areas impacted by COPD in the lungs. Steve Josephs, PhD, a Scientific Advisor to the Company stated “that by using photoceutical devices in treating COPD, it is believed stem cells can be focused on areas of the lungs where there is damage. Furthermore, being able to target specific areas and draw stem cells to those areas should produce greater efficacy in patient treatment outcomes. ” David Koos, Chairman and CEO of Entest stated, “This new patent application we filed covers methods of enhancing our previously disclosed adult stem cell technologies in the treatment of COPD. It is our belief the use of photoceuticals devices coupled with adult stem cell therapy is a treatment model completely new and unique to addressing this terrible disease.” Entest’s treatment approach for COPD is based on the development of easy-toimplement therapies involving the use of stem cells, and other cells found in the fat tissue of the patient. By incorporating photoceutical devices currently in use for other clinical treatments, this invention discloses methods of increasing the rate of cell homing, retention, and growth factor production in the lung. h. Entest Biomedical Applying for National Cancer Institute Contract for the development of Anti-Cancer Immunotherapy Drug -- First stage of contract to be $200,000 (November 10, 2009) Entest BioMedical Inc.

Discusses How Therapies in Development May Yield Lucrative Revenue Streams for the Company -Current focus on COPD and Immuno-Therapeutic Cancer Treatment (November 10, 2009) 1.) Discussion and Description of Company Milestones: a. Entest BioMedical, Inc. files Stem Cell Therapy patent application for treatment of COPD -- Adipose Stem Cells to be used (August 19, 2009) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major health disorder that appears to be treatable through adipose derived stem cell therapy. COPD is a group of lung inflammatory diseases which includes both emphysema and chronic obstructive bronchitis affecting more than 5 million Americans each year. It is the fourth leading cause of death in America, impacting more than 5 million Americans, resulting in more than 120,000 deaths in the USA per a year. Currently, this disease is treated in similar fashion to asthma, utilizing inhalers and /or oxygen therapy. These methods are not solutions to the disease but merely provide the patient with greater level of comfort. Steven Josephs, PhD. noted “The approach is intended at the very least to alleviate the chronic inflammation in COPD. This is done by using agents known to coax adult stem cells that are delivered to the diseased lung tissue (blood monocyte cells) to release cytokines (biologically active molecules) which in addition to the anti-inflammatory effects may actually promote the regeneration of functional lung tissue.” The goal of Entest BioMedical, Inc. is to develop a stem cell therapy that reverses the effects of COPD on the respiratory system. The Company is working with Dr. Feng Lin, its Scientific Director and Steven Josephs, PhD in developing this stem cell treatment. b. Entest BioMedical Finalizes New Immuno-therapeutic Cancer Vaccine Joint Venture withTherinject -- Initial Market to be Veterinary Medicine -- $60 Million potential over 5 years (August 26, 2009) Entest BioMedical Inc. finalized a definitive agreement with Therinject LLC for the development of a new immuno-therapeutic cancer vaccine. Therinject LLC is engaged in the development of cancer treatments utilizing immunology based approaches. Cancer is the #1 cause of death among dogs. It’s estimated that 1 out of every 3 dogs will get cancer. It is anticipated this immuno-therapeutic cancer vaccine could have an efficacy rate of as high as 60% where 15% to 20% is the current cure rate. It is believed that during the first year this immuno-therapeutic vaccine is available we will treat roughly 2,000 animals resulting in $3,000 revenue per animal or $6 million in first year revenue from veterinary medical applications. The Company anticipates a market niche over the subsequent 5 years of 40,000 animals being treated. This is before we expand to human clinical trials.” Therinject’s Chief Scientific Officer, Steven Josephs, Ph.D. said that “for many cancers, efficacy rates should be much higher than currently available therapies. Immuno-therapy stimulates the body’s own immune system to engage in the treatment process. The development of an anti-cancer immune response would be very effective in dealing with metastatic tumors especially in cases where surgery would no longer be feasible.” Additionally, Therinject will work with Entest BioMedical’s team to develop intellectual property in this area of cancer treatment, which is anticipated to result in patents being applied for by Entest BioMedical Inc. Bio-Matrix Scientific Group’s Subsidiary Applies for Phase II Grant from National Cancer Institute for the Development of Immuno-Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine -- Entest BioMedical Inc. Sees Therapeutic Vaccine Impacting $72 Billion A Year Cancer Treatment Industry in United States (October 7, 2009) Entest Biomedical, Inc. announced today that it has applied for an Exploratory/Development Phase II grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). David Koos, Chairman and CEO of Bio-Matrix Scientific Group and its majority owned subsidiary, Entest Biomedical, Inc. says, “Our goal with this research is to test a viable and groundbreaking cancer treatment, first in the veterinary oncology market and then, if successful, to move on to human clinical trials.” The Entest application involves perfecting the use of cell lines for sustained release of immunologically relevant cytokines for maximum anti-tumor immune responses in treating cancer. The treatment process will utilize an implantable chamber device as the vaccine delivery system. This process has already been demonstrated effective on treating tumors in both rodent and canine models. The grant application has already been assigned to a Scientific Review Group for scientific merit evaluation. Principal Investigator Dr. Steven F. Josephs says, “If successful, this approach reduces the need for chemotherapy or radiation treatments since the enhanced immune system is engaged in eliminating cancerous tissue on its own. In doing this, we are allowing the subject to recover without the damage that generally occurs with more traditional cancer treatments.” Josephs continues, “This work, if successful, should result in a groundbreaking discovery for cancer therapy.” Once efficacy has been achieved in this study, the Company plans to develop a commercially viable treatment for canines, which could impact approximately 36 million dogs in United States that suffer from cancer, according to the Morris Animal Foundation and the American Veterinary Medical Association. Additionally, Entest Biomedical, Inc. anticipates this treatment option could have marked effects on the human oncology market, which the National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimated at more than $72 billion in 2004. In 2009, NCI’s SEER Cancer Statistics Review estimates that more than 1.4 million men and women in United States will be diagnosed with cancer. . c. Entest BioMedical Inc. Comments on New Opportunities for the Company (September 1, 2009) Entest BioMedical commented on the Company’s new opportunities in stem cell research, cancer treatment and intellectual property. Mr. Koos noted “In the last 3 months we have made substantial progress in areas we believe will be accretive for our shareholders. It is my belief that our business model is far more balanced and progressive today than we have previously been. The new opportunities on the table for us now should diversify our revenue model and complement each other as the Company grows. We see Entest BioMedical (OTCBB: ENTB) leading the way in expanding the Company’s core business.” Recent Developments include: Entering into discussions and due diligence process regarding a potential mutually beneficial business arrangement with a biotech company that is in FDA Fast Track for Phase 3 Clinical Trials on the development of a cancer treatment. The execution of an agreement with Therinject LLC regarding, among other matters, the development and marketing of a therapeutic cancer vaccine for initial use in veterinary applications as well as the Company’s entry into Tumor Cell Banking The filing of a patent application by Entest Biomedical for the use of adipose (fat) derived stem cells in the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Entering into discussions with a biomedical manufacturer to jointly produce a medical device used in diabetes and cancer research. d.

2.) Summary of Entest’s technology Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Entest’s treatment approach for COPD is based on the development of easy-toimplement therapies involving the use of stem cells, and other cells found in the fat tissue of the patient. By incorporating photoceutical devices currently in use for other clinical treatments, this invention discloses methods of increasing the rate of cell homing, retention, and growth factor production in the lung. a. What is COPD?: COPD is the 4th Leading Cause of Death in the United States. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is comprised primarily of two related diseases - chronic bronchitis and emphysema. In both diseases, there is chronic obstruction of the flow of air through the airways and out of the lungs, and the obstruction generally is permanent and progressive over time. b. What treatment is currently being used for COPD? The goals of COPD treatment are: i.) prevent further deterioration in lung function, ii.) alleviate symptoms, iii.) improve performance of daily activities (quality of life) iv.) Current treatment includes: • quitting cigarette smoking • taking medications to dilate airways and decrease airway inflammation (bronchodilators) • vaccinating against flu influenza and pneumonia • regular oxygen supplementation • pulmonary rehabilitation. v.) List of common medications used in treating COPD: 1. Bronchodilators Patients who have COPD are often prescribed medications called bronchodilators. Bronchodilators work by relaxing and expanding the smooth muscle of the airways, making it easier to breath. Three types of bronchodilators are commonly used for treatment of COPD. Which bronchodilator will work best for you? 2. Glucocorticoids If you have COPD, your doctor may have prescribed glucocorticoids, or steroids, as part of your COPD treatment plan. While glucocorticoids have many benefits, they also have serious risks and side effects. Are you aware of the risks and benefits associated with the use of glucocorticoids? 3. Antibiotics People with COPD are more prone to bacterial lung infections than most. And, if you have a bacterial lung infection, then chances are your doctor will have prescribed you an antibiotic. Learn more about antibiotic therapy and how your doctor tells the difference between a simple virus and a bacterial lung infection. 4. Oxygen Therapy Has your doctor recently prescribed oxygen therapy as part of your COPD treatment plan? If so, you may be wondering why you need it, and more importantly, how you should use it. Learn the benefits of oxygen therapy if you have COPD and how to use your oxygen safely. 5. Flu Vaccine Flu shots not only help prevent the flu, they can help COPD patients fight off potential exacerbations of symptoms, which are periods of time when your COPD may worsen. Learn how flu shots can help prevent COPD exacerbation. 6. Pneumonia Vaccine People with COPD are at greater risk for developing pneumococcal pneumonia, a serious lung infection that kills 1 out of every 20 people who get it. And, even if you have already had a pneumonia vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control recommend that certain high-risk groups have a second dose. Are you among the high-risk group? |

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - 03/15/10) - Entest BioMedical Inc. (OTC.BB:ENTB - News) announced today It is creating a bioinformatics-based program combining advances in molecular knowledge of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with computer-powered search tools to integrate existing and newly generated data for this condition. Bioinformatics is defined as the collection, classification, storage, and analysis of biochemical and biological information using computers especially as applied in molecular genetics and genomics. One of the best known applications of bioinformatics methods is the Human Genome Project. "While there are many pieces to the puzzle of COPD, the majority of research today is focused on finding new pieces as opposed to making sense of the pieces we already have," said Dr. Feng Lin, Scientific Director of Entest. "We have begun a Program based on using various automated algorithms to mine existing data sets and develop hypotheses that can be experimentally tested." One of the initial tasks of the program is the creation of databases containing all genes associated with various aspects of COPD. These genes will then categorized based on biological functionality and association with each other. Once a global perspective of the genes and how their functions inter-relate is achieved, examination can be made as to which existing drugs may act somewhere on the pathway and possibility induce a benefit. "By assembling everything known in the literature regarding COPD at a molecular level, our scientists will have an overall understanding of this terrible disease," said David Koos. "In addition, the bioinformatics approach will allow Entest to develop new intellectual property, some of which we anticipate will include new uses of existing drugs on the market." The basis for the current program originates from internal Entest discussions involving the need for appropriate biomarkers for planned photoceutical trials. Given that the mechanism of action of photoceuticals is still relatively unclear, clinical trials will require sensitive biomarkers, which to some extent are not available in COPD. It is anticipated that the bioinformatics program will be of benefit in this aspect. The Company will be hosting another interview with Its Chairman & CEO on Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. PDT at www.Entestbioblog.com/live. Mr. Koos will discuss the importance of this new bioinformatics approach on strengthening Its COPD treatment model. About Entest BioMedical Inc.: Entest BioMedical Inc.
