TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cellect Biomed Ltd. (TASE:CLBD), a company specializing in the development of an innovative technology platform which enables the functional selection of stem cells, announced today that its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Shai Yarkoni, will present at the ASH 57th Annual Meeting on December 6, 2015 in Orlando, FL.

About Cellect Biomed Ltd.

Cellect is developing an innovative technology which enables the functional selection of stem cells based on their sensitivity to apoptosis. This functional-based selection is an important breakthrough in the ability to isolate stem cells from mature cells, thereby enabling a variety of stem cell therapeutic applications.

The Company is developing its first product line, unique containers for cell selection in an apoptosis-inducing microenvironment. Cellect has proved in extensive pre-clinical studies that the use of apoptosis can largely increase the stem cell concentration in samples taken from bone marrow donors, as well as umbilical cord blood. The Company's first planned commercial product is a medical kit designed for the bone marrow transplantation market, as well as other markets that require stem cell selection. The Company is positioning itself to enable future integration of its technology in the many production procedures of stem cell-based products.
