Boston Life Sciences, Inc. announced that its collaborating scientists have
discovered in preclinical animal models and other laboratory tests that a
heretofore unrecognized natural small molecule appeared to strongly stimulate
axonal regeneration in nerve cells of the Central Nervous System (CNS). This
molecule is the second apparent CNS axonal growth factor identified as part of
the Company's CNS nerve regeneration discovery program.

The Company believes that this new work demonstrates that neurons in the CNS may
be actually capable of regenerating axonal connections between cells in response
to certain endogenous growth factors in mammals. The Company's two nerve
regeneration compounds are being studied in spinal cord injury models. If
successful, the Company hopes to file an Investigational New Drug (IND)
application for one or both compounds as soon as possible.
