			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Marketed under the Hydress +Plus™ Brand Name, the Silver Dressing Is Expected to Represent a Significant Driver for HepaLife’s Wound Care Portfolio</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>NEW YORK, New York — November 9, 2010 — HepaLife Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: HPLF) (FWB: HL1) (“HepaLife”), an advanced biomedical products company focused on the development and manufacturing of proprietary drug delivery and liver health technologies, today announced a 510(k) submission to the FDA by its AquaMed Technologies, Inc. (“AquaMed”) subsidiary seeking pre-market clearance for its silver based antimicrobial wound dressing.</p>
<p><span id="more-46"></span>HepaLife intends for its silver based dressing, marketed under the Hydress +Plus™ brand name, to be an important addition to its existing wound care products. Silver, when moist, emits ions. Silver ions (Ag+) are bioactive and in sufficient concentration readily kill bacteria in both external wounds and in living tissue.  Upon approval, the Hydress +Plus™ silver based dressings are expected to be manufactured by AquaMed, yet marketed and sold through HepaLife’s recently formed Alliqua BioMedical, Inc. (“Alliqua”) subsidiary, which will also be responsible for selling and marketing HepaLife’s various other hyrdrogel products going forward.</p>
<p>“We believe that this product represents an important step forward in the field of advanced wound care, and one which has the potential to drive our business opportunities in the near term,” said Matt Harriton, CEO of Alliqua.  “The management team is committed to getting this product to market as quickly as possible while simultaneously developing strong distribution channels and marketing resources for its launch.”</p>
<p>Silver based wound dressings are becoming increasingly prevalent in wound care due to the recent increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, known as MRSA. The Company’s dressing is approximately 90% water based; hence, does not have the issues of requiring pre-wetting or absorption of transdermal water loss or wound exudate to become bioactive.</p>
<p>Mr. Harriton continued, “As the process for clearance takes place, we look forward to providing our shareholders with updates on this, as well as various other leading growth initiatives for our organization over the coming weeks and months.”</p>
<p>Management anticipates that the initial markets for the product will include diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, burns and post surgical applications. Management estimates that the number of diabetic ulcers in the U.S. is in excess of 2.5 million wounds and that there are over 30 million surgical procedures done in the US each year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Jeiven Pharmaceutical Consulting Joins HepaLife Team to Assist in Strategic Product Development Initiatives and to Accelerate Time-to-Market</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>NEW YORK, New York — November 3, 2010 — HepaLife Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: HPLF) (FWB: HL1) (“HepaLife”), an advanced biomedical products company focused on the development and manufacturing of proprietary drug delivery and liver health technologies, today announced its intention to pursue the development of a transdermal pain patch.  HepaLife’s subsidiary, Alliqua BioMedical, Inc. (“Alliqua”), recently retained Jeiven Pharmaceutical Consulting, Inc. (“Jeiven”) to assist it in this new product development.<span id="more-43"></span></p>
<p>Through this partnership, Alliqua intends to aggressively pursue a generic version of an existing pain management patch for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (“PHN”).  PHN is associated with shingles, which is a rising medical problem in the United States and around the world as countries continue to struggle with increasingly elderly populations.</p>
<p>“We believe that our existing expertise in manufacturing these products, combined with the developmental and regulatory experience that Jeiven brings to this project will prove invaluable, and will help us realize commercialization in a timely and cost effective manner,” said Matthew Harriton, CEO of Alliqua. “Utilizing HepaLife’s proprietary hydrogel technology, we believe Alliqua can become a high quality, low cost producer of this transdermal pain patch.”</p>
<p>“We are excited to join the Alliqua team in this project. Alliqua benefits from an extensive knowledge base and a proven expertise in manufacturing specialty medical products including components for transdermal patches,” said Ashutosh Sharma, PhD, Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Jeiven. “By combining Jeiven’s extensive resources and decades of experience in pharmaceutical product development, with HepaLife’s proprietary technology, we believe Alliqua has a great opportunity for a relatively low risk product launch with the possibility for significant gain in market share.”</p>
<p>Management estimates that the total U.S. market for pain management pharmaceuticals, exclusive of over-the-counter products, totaled in excess of $20 billion in 2009, with the market for the existing prescription pain patch in excess of $1 billion in the US alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 1 million cases of shingles occur in the United States annually, and approximately 20% of shingles cases result in PHN. HepaLife&#8217;s patch technology enables the delivery of drugs and active ingredients directly through the stratum corneum avoiding &#8216;first pass&#8217; of the digestive system and the liver.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New Subsidiary to Focus on Development, Manufacturing and Marketing of Proprietary Transdermal Drug Delivery Products in High-Growth Sectors</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>NEW YORK, New York — November 1, 2010 — HepaLife Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: HPLF) (FWB: HL1) (“HepaLife”), an advanced biomedical products company focused on the development and manufacturing of proprietary drug delivery and liver health technologies, today announces the formation of a new wholly owned subsidiary, Alliqua BioMedical, Inc. (“Alliqua”).<span id="more-39"></span>Alliqua intends to develop, manufacture and market its own proprietary products, utilizing HepaLife’s existing technology portfolio.  It further intends to pursue projects in the fields of active ingredient and transdermal drug delivery, as well as advanced wound care.</p>
<p>In connection with the formation of Alliqua, HepaLife appointed Matt Harriton as Alliqua’s CEO. Mr. Harriton brings over 23 years of experience across a range of industries and applicable fields, including SEC compliance, FDA compliance and intellectual property rights.</p>
<p>“The launch of Alliqua marks a significant milestone for HepaLife and its shareholders,” said Matt Harriton, CEO of Alliqua. “Leveraging HepaLife’s proprietary technology and proven expertise, Alliqua represents the expansion of HepaLife’s business into the mutli-billion dollar drug delivery and advanced wound care markets.”</p>
<p>In conjunction with the formation of Alliqua, HepaLife reiterates its major milestones over the past year:</p>
<ul>
<li>Through the acquisition of AquaMed Technologies, Inc. and its hydrogel technology platform in May 2010, HepaLife has expanded its business focus to include the multi-billion dollar fields of transdermal drug and actives delivery, with added applications in wound care, medical diagnostics, consumer health and cosmetics.</li>
<li>HepaLife’s private placement in May 2010 has helped secure its financial position and provides it with a greater ability to execute its strategic initiatives.</li>
</ul>
<p>“We are pleased to announce the formation of Alliqua, as we believe it will drive HepaLife’s existing and developmental product pipeline going forward,” said Richard Rosenblum, President of HepaLife.  “As we proactively penetrate the expanding drug delivery and wound care industries, we remain highly committed to growing our revenue, earnings and, ultimately, shareholder value.”</p>
<p>HepaLife’s modern 16,500 square foot cGMP compliant facility in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, is crucial in helping Alliqua meet its strategic growth objectives and provides a significant barrier to entry for other manufacturers.  The facility, which is operated by another HepaLife subsidiary, AquaMed Technologies, Inc., manufactures a highly specialized aqueous hydrogel designed for various healthcare sectors, including: wound care, medical diagnostics, drug delivery, cosmetics and patient management. AquaMed is one of only two known manufacturers of this type of gel in the world and its manufacturing facility is FDA registered.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AquaMed continues to build on it&#8217;s manufacturing base by offering an ever-expanding range of products to our customers. One of the exciting developments in our product line is the addition of a <a href="http://www.aquamedinc.net/hydrogel-products/silver_hydrogel/hydrogel-sheet-with-x-static.html">silver formulation</a> to our line of roll and sheet hydrogels. The benefits of silver in wound care are well known, as it can provide extremely high antimicrobial properties to a moist wound dressing. AquaMed can manufacture the silver hydrogel to your specifications. As always, feel free to <a href="http://www.aquamedinc.net/contact-info/contacts.php">contact us</a> for more information on this innovative product.</p>
<p>Other big news includes the introduction of <a href="http://www.aquamedinc.net/conductive-adhesives/conductive-adhesives.html">conductive adhesive manufacturing</a> to our product line. Commonly used for TENS electrodes, EEG, and other medical monitoring applications, these hydrogel formulations are prepared with an electrolyte (salt) formula that can be adjusted to vary the level of electrical conductivity desired. Because hydrogel patches naturally adhere to the skin, they create good electrical contact without aggressively adhering to the skin as some other chemical adhesives can. Therefore, they&#8217;re easier to remove and more comfortable for the patient.</p>
