Cell Source, Inc. announced resignation of Itamar Shimrat as a director. Mr. Shimrat's resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company and he will continue in his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Shimrat's resignation as director follows an evaluation of the structure of the Board of Directors and a determination that it is in the best interest of the Company to have a Board of Directors comprised of an odd number of members to reduce the possibility of a deadlock.
