</div>RENO, Nev., May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=Lg0GVyfnvzt3xApGiCBOZrQmmBBjRhn3iZ6vABOY-JW9Oso15fKF3u8wvNaH5te9DDHbzBTUm3cHFKSx61Epp1nWinvY9455nNZYpd7SqtQ=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Conexeu Sciences Inc.">Conexeu Sciences Inc.</a> (Nasdaq: CNXU) ("Conexeu" or the "Company"), a biotechnology company advancing tissue regeneration, today announced the launch of a preclinical development program for B.R.E.A.S.T.™ (BIO-REGENERATIVE ERGONOMICALLY ARCHITECTED SMART TISSUE™), its recently unveiled 3D-printed bioregenerative breast matrix, at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (“WFIRM”), a leading regenerative medicine research organization. "This preclinical program design is an important step in the advancement of B.R.E.A.S.T.™ and our overall regenerative medicine strategy," said Miles Harrison, President and CEO of Conexeu. "We believe bioregenerative approaches that work naturally with the body represent a significant evolution beyond traditional implant technologies." The program will leverage WFIRM’s advanced tissue-organ bioprinting infrastructure to support a comprehensive preclinical study evaluating the durability, host tissue integration, and resorbability of Conexeu’s proprietary CXU™ 3D-printed B.R.E.A.S.T.™ matrix. The resulting findings will directly inform the design of future studies and guide progression toward clinical development. B.R.E.A.S.T.™ was developed using Conexeu’s proprietary CXU™ platform, an extracellular matrix (ECM)-based biofabrication technology. B.R.E.A.S.T.™ introduces new possibilities for implantable devices in soft tissue restoration: a resorbable and bioregenerative matrix engineered to guide the patient’s own cells towards the formation of new tissue. The technology is being developed as a potential alternative to permanent breast implants and traditional reconstruction approaches. "The research process is fundamental to the responsible development of regenerative technologies and defining the biological performance and translational potential of B.R.E.A.S.T.™," said Dr. Claudia Chavez-Munoz, Chief Scientific Officer and co-founder of Conexeu. "Access to world-class facilities such as WFIRM allows us the scalability to evaluate and produce our designs, de-risking innovation, and accelerating the translation toward clinical impact." To advance this work, Conexeu is leveraging support available through the RegenMed Development Organization (ReMDO) ecosystem, including access to advanced bioprinting infrastructure such as the iTOPS (Integrated Tissue-Organ Printing System) platform at WFIRM. "The tissue-organ printing system at WFIRM is one of the tools that allows ReMDO to deliver on its mission, accelerating the translation of regenerative medicine technologies by de-risking innovative products and advancing scalable biomanufacturing. Conexeu’s progress on 3D printing is a strong example of that work in action," said Joshua Hunsberger, PhD, Chief Technology Officer, ReMDO. About Conexeu Sciences Inc (Nasdaq: CNXU) Building a new class of regenerative tissue therapies. Conexeu Sciences is a preclinical-stage regenerative tissue platform company. Our patented bioregenerative extracellular matrix (ECM) platform, CXU™, is built on a single structural principle: one formula, one device, designed to scale across multiple addressable markets. CXU™ is designed to restore soft tissue lost through injury, aging, and GLP-1-associated tissue related weight loss. The Company's lead device candidate, Ten Minute Tissue™, is a CXU-based ECM that remains fluid at room temperature and is designed to transition to a stable gel in situ at body temperature within approximately ten minutes. In preclinical studies, Ten Minute Tissue™ has demonstrated enhanced healing dynamics, organized scaffold formation, and a favorable (low) inflammatory profile, collectively supporting cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation, with tissue integration and new tissue formation. The platform is grounded in more than a decade of university preclinical research and protected by issued patents across the U.S., E.U., Japan, and Australia, with additional filings pending. Conexeu holds all rights, title, and interest in the platform IP, with no royalty or licensing obligations and full freedom to expand across new indications and markets. Conexeu is targeting large, multi-billion-dollar end markets, including wound care, periodontal applications, and facial and body contouring (encompassing GLP-1 driven skin laxity), with further expansion opportunities in 3D printing and biofabrication workflows and the veterinary market. The Company is advancing a predicate-based U.S. regulatory strategy with an anticipated 510(k) submission in early 2027 for its initial indication, subject to regulatory review. Conexeu is led by an experienced leadership team with deep expertise in biomaterials, regenerative medicine, and medical device commercialization and development.

BIO-REGENERATIVE ERGONOMICALLY ARCHITECTED SMART TISSUE™ (B.R.E.A.S.T.™)</a> About WFIRM Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) is recognized as an international leader in translating scientific discovery into clinical therapies, with many world firsts, including the development and implantation of the first engineered organ in a patient. Over 500 people at the institute, the largest in the world, work on more than 40 different tissues and organs. A number of the basic principles of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine were first developed at the institute. WFIRM researchers have successfully engineered replacement tissues and organs in all four categories – flat structures, tubular tissues, hollow organs and solid organs – and 18 different applications of cell/tissue therapy technologies, such as skin, urethras, cartilage, bladders, muscle, kidney and vaginal organs, have been successfully used in human patients. The institute –which is part of Wake Forest University School of Medicine, the academic core of Advocate Health – is in the Innovation Quarter in downtown Winston-Salem, NC, and is driven by the urgent needs of patients. The institute is making a global difference in regenerative medicine through collaborations with over 600 entities and institutions worldwide, through its government, academic and industry partnerships, its start-up entities, and through major initiatives in breakthrough technologies, such as tissue engineering, cell therapies, diagnostics, drug discovery, biomanufacturing, nanotechnology, gene editing and 3D printing. About ReMDO The RegenMed Development Organization (ReMDO) is a 501(c)3 non-profit with a mission to help deliver on the promise of regenerative medicine by advancing research to de-risk technologies, promoting progress of biomanufacturing scale-up and automation to make technologies more affordable, and speeding up the translation to clinical practice.
