Arizona Tribune - ZEO ScientifiX(TM) Positioned for New Growth as Florida Opens Stem Cell Market

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / October 23, 2025 / ZEO ScientifiX™, Inc. (OTCQB:ZEOX) ("ZEO" or the "Company"), a clinical‑stage biopharmaceutical company focused on regenerative therapies including birth tissue biologics, whole blood processing, and exosome nanoparticle science, today announced that it is prepared to capitalize on the potentially rapid expansion of Florida's regenerative medicine market following enactment of the new state stem cell law, SB 1768, effective July 1, 2025.

The legislation authorizes licensed physicians to administer non‑FDA‑approved stem cell and other human tissue‑derived therapies for orthopedic, wound care, and pain management indications. It mandates compliance with the FDA's current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) and prohibits the use of stem cells derived from aborted fetuses, promoting ethically sourced materials such as adult stem cells and umbilical cord blood. SB 1768 also requires informed patient consent and disclosure that treatments are not FDA‑approved.

ZEO expects that SB 1768 will create substantial new demand for its current and future stem cell therapy products by: (a) meeting existing physician and patient interest in regenerative therapies, (b) increasing awareness of the availability and potential efficacy of stem cell therapy treatments, and (c) attracting medical tourists who previously sought stem cell therapy treatments abroad but can now access comparable procedures in Florida under higher regulatory standards and at lower cost.

By enabling physicians to adopt ZEO's products for approved indications in Florida, the Company anticipates significant revenue growth and faster advancement of its clinical trial objectives at reduced cost. ZEO expects to further distinguish itself through leadership in research, quality, safety, and regulatory compliance for biologics. The new law also allows ZEO to collect real‑world safety and outcome data from providers-data that previously could only be obtained through FDA Investigational New Drug (IND) applications or Institutional Review Board (IRB)‑approved studies. Access to this data is expected to lower risks associated with the Company's future FDA submissions for product approvals.

While prioritizing the anticipated growth of Florida's stem cell market, ZEO continues to advance its research programs, including clinical studies, product development, and ongoing quality and compliance initiatives. The Company recently launched an IRB‑approved clinical study titled "Open‑Label Prospective Longitudinal Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Potential Efficacy of PPX™ in Patients Suffering from Musculoskeletal Joint Pathologies Using Real‑World Data to Monitor Patient Outcomes." The study will enroll up to 350 patients, with five clinics already participating and seven patients enrolled to date.

ZEO is also evaluating expansion of its laboratory facilities at Nova Southeastern University to include additional clean rooms and dedicated research space. These upgrades will support efforts to grow its intellectual property portfolio, expand provider networks, and increase product and clinical trial capacity.

"We believe ZEO is a trusted supplier of biologics, and our research continues to lead the industry," said Ian Bothwell, interim chief executive officer. "We look forward to announcing additional developments in the near future."
