$GNPX New Therapies For Pancreatic Cancer, a Big Boon for Biotechs

Palm Beach, FL –January 22, 2020 – Pancreatic cancer is a notoriously aggressive and hard-to-treat malignancy; the five-year survival rate is less than 10%. Treatment options for pancreatic cancer are limited to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapies; thus, demand is high for safer, more-efficacious drugs, which will serve to drive the market. ResearchAndMarkets projects that the global pancreatic cancer therapy market is expected to reach US$ 4,056.4 Mn in 2025 from US$ 2,011.2 Mn in 2017. The market is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 8.1% from 2018-2025. The growth of the pancreatic cancer therapy market is primarily attributed to the increase in number of therapies launched in the market. The development of new drugs is thus expected to drive the growth of pancreatic cancer therapy market.  The report continued by saying: “However, these drugs travel throughout the body and thus can affect normal and healthy cells adversely. Blood-forming cells in the bone marrow, hair follicles and cell in the mouth, digestive tract, and reproductive system are likely to be affected by chemotherapeutic drugs. The current treatment options available for pancreatic cancer patients only help to extend the patients’ lives by a few months.    Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), Mallinckrodt plc (NYSE: MNK), Genprex, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX), Soligenix, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX), BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BCRX).

“This demands potential drugs that are able to enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs. Combination of two or more chemotherapy drugs are a suitable way out to increase the efficacy of the drug as well as proves advantageous in the treatment… the biologic therapy segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the coming years owing to increasing number of novel upcoming immunotherapies as well as targeted cell therapy that treats the cancer without any severe side effects and has number of therapeutic benefits over the conventional chemotherapies… This demands potential drugs that are able to enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs. Combination of two or more chemotherapy drugs are a suitable way out to increase the efficacy of the drug as well as proves advantageous in the treatment.”

Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC) BREAKING NEWS:  Oncolytics Biotech® Announces Publication of an Abstract for the 2020 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium Highlighting CEACAM6 as a Potential Prognostic Biomarker Candidate for Pancreatic Cancer  – Oncolytics Biotech® currently developing pelareorep, an intravenously delivered immuno-oncolytic virus, today stated that the previously announced abstract for a poster to be presented at the 2020 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium sponsored by ASCO in San Francisco, has been published.  The abstract highlights new biomarker data from the randomized study NCI 8601:  Carboplatin and Paclitaxel With or Without Viral Therapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer.

The abstract, CEACAM6 is a candidate biomarker for Reolysin® (pelareorep) sensitivity in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), was co-authored by Dr. Anne Noonan, Department of Medical Oncology, Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Richard Solove Research Institute and James Cancer Hospital, and Dr. Tanios Bekaii-Saab Senior Associate Consultant, Division of Hematology/Oncology, Department of Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona.

Data in the abstract associate low levels of the gene CEACAM6 with prolonged progression free survival (PFS) in pelareorep-treated patients with pancreatic cancer, with PFS improving from 5.72 months to 10.32 months (p=0.05). This effect was not seen in non-pelareorep treated patients. Consequently, CEACAM6 may serve as a prognostic biomarker for sensitivity of pancreatic tumors to pelareorep treatment.  Additional data will be announced following the poster presentation.      Read this full press release and more news for ONCY at:  https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-oncy/    

Other recent developments in the biotech industry include:

Mallinckrodt plc (NYSE: MNK) a global biopharmaceutical company, recently confirmed enrollment of the first patient in the company’s Phase 4, multi-center, multiple-dose, open-label study to assess the effects of Acthar Gel as a therapy option in patients with severe keratitis.

“In my experience, a considerable number of severe keratitis patients can have persistent disease that may not be resolved by first-line treatment,” said Eugene McLaurin, MD and Fellow, American Academy of Ophthalmology and American College of Surgeons. “I am pleased that the first patient has been enrolled in this important Phase 4 study, the results of which may potentially provide data to further support Acthar Gel as a treatment option in appropriate keratitis patients.”

Genprex, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) a clinical-stage gene therapy company utilizing a unique, non-viral proprietary platform designed to deliver tumor suppressor genes to cancer cells, recently announced that the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation for Genprex’s Oncoprex™ immunogene therapy in combination with EGFR inhibitor osimertinib (AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso®, which had worldwide sales in 2018 of $1.86 billion, $2.31 billion in the first 9 months of 2019 and is currently AstraZeneca’s highest grossing product) for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EFGR mutations that progressed after treatment with osimertinib alone. Oncoprex is comprised of the TUSC2 (Tumor Suppressor Candidate 2) gene complexed with a lipid nanoparticle. TUSC2 is the active agent in Oncoprex.

Genprex has treated more than 50 lung cancer patients with Oncoprex in Phase I and II clinical trials. The company believes the data from these trials are encouraging as to both safety and efficacy.

Soligenix, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX)  a late-stage pharmaceutical company working to improve the current standard of care for numerous rare diseases through the development and commercialization of novel treatments, is nearing the release of topline data after completing final enrollment for SGX301, a pivotal Phase 3 trial targeting the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. A successful report may position the company for significant increases to shareholder value before the end of Q1 2020, and ultimately position the company to commercialize its first drug in a market that is estimated at a more than $200 million revenue opportunity.

The Phase 3 clinical trial is focused on the potential benefits of Soligenix’s topical drug ointment SGX301, or synthetic hypericin, in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). CTCL is a rare type of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma that sits high on the list of conditions that has no current or effective drug treatment, pushing Soligenix to fill the demand to serve this unmet medical need.

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BCRX) recently announced the appointments of Charles Gayer as chief commercial officer and Allen Hodge as vice president and general manager for the United States.

Mr. Gayer joined BioCryst in 2015 as vice president of global strategic marketing. Since July 2019 he has served as interim chief commercial officer, playing a key role in defining the strategy, and building the commercial operations, to support the launch of berotralstat, BioCryst’s oral kallikrein inhibitor for hereditary angioedema (HAE).

$GGBXF CBD Edibles Companies are Struggling to Keep up with Consumer Demand

Palm Beach, FL – January 21, 2020 — Thanks to Cannabis 2.0, companies are selling out of CBD edibles – and fast.  So much so, the Toronto Sun refers to it as “Edibles Madness.”  The Ontario Cannabis Store website, for example, saw so much demand, the site crashed several times, while soft-chew items like gummies sold out in less than a half hour.  Better, analysts at Deloitte, “The edibles market alone is estimated to be worth at least $1.6 billion a year in Canada, with cannabis-infused beverages adding a further $529 million,” said Jennifer Lee, a partner and Deloitte Canada’s Cannabis National Leader, and Consumer Advisory and Analytics Practice National Leader. “According to our research and stakeholder interviews, much of this economic boost will be on top of current cannabis product spending. The introduction of cannabis-infused edibles will clearly threaten the alcohol industry as consumers are using the product for similar usage occasions.”  That’s opening a wide range of opportunity for companies including Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd. (TSX-V:NSP)(OTCQB:NSPDF), The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD)(OTCQX:TGODF), Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (CSE:CURA)(OTCQX:CURLF), Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE:GTII) (OTCQX:GTBIF), and Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE:GGB)(OTCQB:GGBXF).

Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd. (TSXV:NSP)(OTCQB:NSPDF) BREAKING NEWS: Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd. just provided the following updates and outlook for 2020. Naturally Splendid drives the majority of revenue from the Prosnack Division, manufacturing nutritional bars & bites from mainly plant-based ingredients at our Safe Quality Food Level 2 manufacturing facility (SQF2), forming the foundation to a sustainable and profitable business.  Purchase orders in January have already exceeded $300,000 CDN to date. The Company’s focus will be on expanding business and growing revenue in the plant-based nutritional category while the cannabis edibles markets continues the path to more mainstream opportunities. Naturally Splendid CEO Mr. J. Craig Goodwin states, “The Company continues to focus on increasing our nutritional, plant-based bars and bites business, expanding production capacity and efficiencies at our SQF2 food manufacturing facility. We remain confident the edibles market will continue to evolve into a lucrative opportunity. However, that market continues to be challenged by restrictive marketing and distribution regulations.

In comparison, the plant-based nutrition market shows current, mid-term and long-term growth. This past December, the investment firm UBS, reported  the plant-based nutrition market to be $4B USD in 2018, growing to $88B USD by 2030. With consistent messaging from the market supporting this significant forecast in sales growth, we have positioned the Company to become a leading developer and manufacturer of nutritional plant-based bars and bites through our Prosnack Division.  This strategic approach is building shareholder value as confirmed by a recent valuation that pegged the value of  Prosnack of $11.1M CDN. It is important to understand our strategy to develop our plant-based business has a synergistic relationship with CBD edibles. Our expertise as food manufacturers utilizing plant-based ingredients will be a driver for securing business in the evolving edibles market”.

Other cannabis-related developments from around the markets include:

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD)(OTCQX:TGODF) announced changes to streamline its leadership structure. The Company’s President, Mr. Csaba Reider, will be departing the organization. Mr. Reider’s duties will be assumed by the Company’s CEO, Brian Athaide. Mike Gibbons, Vice President of Sales, is also leaving the organization. Robert Gora, Vice President of Medical Commercialization, will assume the consolidated role of Vice President, National Sales, leading sales and revenue generation across medical and recreational channels. “The changes we announce today are part of a comprehensive review of our operations to reduce costs and improve cash flow. This will result in significant G&A savings and a leaner more efficient organization. We are also very focused on ramping up production, expanding our product portfolio with innovative organic products and gaining market share across the country.” commented Brian Athaide, CEO of TGOD.

Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (CSE:CURA)(OTCQX:CURLF) announced the upsizing and closing of a Senior Secured Term Loan Facility from a syndicate of lenders totaling US$300 million. The notes bear interest at a rate of 13.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, with a maturity 48 months from closing. The proceeds will be used to refinance existing debt, satisfy transaction fees and expenses from previously announced acquisitions, fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. The sole placement agent for the Facility is Seaport Global Securities LLC. “We are pleased with the upsizing and closing of the deal at what we believe to be attractive terms,” said Joseph Lusardi, Chief Executive Officer of Curaleaf. “Most importantly we strengthened our balance sheet without diluting our existing shareholders. With the completion of this transaction, we have ample liquidity to execute on our strategy and are well-positioned to take advantage of the significant market opportunities that exist in this space.”

Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE:GTII)(OTCQX:GTBIF) announced the next phase of its Social Equity License Education Assistance Program (LEAP) which includes programming and one-on-one consultations for Illinois craft grower, infuser and transporter licenses. Applications are due to the state on March 16 and the Department of Agriculture is expected to issue up to 40 craft grower licenses, up to 40 infuser licenses, and an unlimited number of transporter licenses on or before July 1, 2020. Dispensary applications were due January 2 with up to 75 awardees expected to be announced by May 1. “At GTI, we believe it is our responsibility to help reduce barriers to cannabis business ownership for minorities and others most impacted by the war on drugs – and we are so humbled to have provided guidance to more than 200 applicants so far, many of whom applied for dispensary licenses,” says GTI Senior Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs Dina Rollman. “LEAP was created to offer assistance to those looking to enter this highly competitive industry and to serve as a resource to as many applicants as possible that qualify as a social equity applicant under Illinois law. GTI has had a long history of winning licenses and our team is excited to share our lessons learned and best practices with a new generation of business owners in this burgeoning industry. We can’t wait to continue our work with the new round of applicants and those who are awarded licenses.”

$GNPX Receipt of FDA Fast Track Designation in Lung Cancer Immunogene Therapy

Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company utilizing a unique, nonviral proprietary platform designed to deliver tumor suppressor genes to cancer cells, today announced that the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation for Genprex’s Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy in combination with EGFR inhibitor osimertinib (AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso(R)). Tagrisso(R), with worldwide sales of $1.86 billion in 2018 and $2.31 billion in the first 9 months of 2019, is currently AstraZeneca’s highest grossing product for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EFGR mutations that progressed after treatment with osimertinib alone. Genprex has treated more than 50 lung cancer patients with Oncoprex, comprised of the TUSC2 (Tumor Suppressor Candidate 2) gene complexed with a lipid nanoparticle, in Phase I and II clinical trials. “Genprex is excited to receive this important FDA designation,” Genprex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rodney Varner said in the news release. “In addition to potentially facilitating and expediting our pathway to approval, we believe that this FDA designation validates our plan to commercialize Oncoprex immunogene therapy in combination with EGFR inhibitors for the treatment of lung cancer. We hope that Fast Track Designation helps us bring our gene therapy to patients more rapidly and that our unique gene therapy platform is more widely recognized for its potential in cancer treatment.”

About Genprex, Inc.

Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for cancer patients based upon a unique proprietary technology platform. Genprex’s platform technologies are designed to administer cancer-fighting genes by encapsulating them into nanoscale hollow spheres called nanovesicles, which are then administered intravenously and taken up by tumor cells where they express proteins that are missing or found in low quantities. The company’s lead product candidate, Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), has a multimodal mechanism of action whereby it interrupts cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells, re-establishes pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells, and modulates the immune response against cancer cells. Oncoprex has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. For more information, please visit the company’s web site at www.Genprex.com.

$PBIO Innovative UST Platform Featured in Leading North American Cannabis Publication

Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables, and platform technology solutions to the worldwide life sciences and other industries, today announced that its new and innovative Ultra Shear Technology(TM) (“UST”) platform was featured in Cannabis Brightline, one of North America’s leading cannabis publications. Per the update, Focus Media Group (“FMG”) of Halifax, NS, Canada wrote and published the article. “This article highlights a critical issue facing the cannabis market today: the low bioavailability of CBD from CBD-infused products,” Jason Ellis, president of Vegas CBD Factory and recognized expert in the manufacture of cannabinoid-based products, said in the news release. “Because oils (including CBD oil) are not well-absorbed by the water-based systems of humans and other animals, most CBD delivered by ingestion is unfortunately flushed from the body, with very little being absorbed to provide its expected beneficial effects.”

$POAI Aims to Commercialize AI-Driven Predictive Model of Ovarian Cancer in Q1 2020

Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), a data and artificial-intelligence- (“AI”) driven, discovery-services company that provides predictive models of tumor drug response to improve clinical outcomes for patients, recently issued an update regarding its groundbreaking CancerQuest 2020 initiative driven by its Helomics subsidiary (http://nnw.fm/y6fnc). Per the update, the company intends to have its first predictive model of ovarian cancer prepared for initial commercialization in the first quarter of 2020. An article discussing the company reads, “‘We believe that this effort will enhance our understanding of the molecular profiles of women with ovarian cancer by using the power of artificial intelligence to create predictive models of therapeutic success,’ said Dr. Robert Edwards, professor and chair of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences in the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (http://nnw.fm/l8suJ). ‘We are excited about the potential for AI-powered, evidence-based decision-making to increase our ability to bring about successful outcomes.’ . . . In addition, Helomics intends to sequence 50% of its 38,000-plus ovarian tumors in the upcoming year, creating what may be the world’s first comprehensive, actionable multi-omic data set for ovarian cancer. And Helomics doesn’t plan on stopping there. The company is already evaluating ways to sequence other cancers types in its database to build additional AI-driven predictive models, strengthening the company’s presence in both the clinical and research markets.”

About Predictive Oncology Inc.

Predictive Oncology operates through five segments (domestic, international, clinical, CRO and D-CHIP), which contain four subsidiaries; Helomics, TumorGenesis, Skyline Medical and Skyline Europe. Helomics applies artificial intelligence to its rich data gathered from patient tumors to both personalize cancer therapies for patients and drive the development of new targeted therapies in collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. Helomics’ CLIA-certified lab provides clinical testing that assists oncologists in individualizing patient-treatment decisions, by providing an evidence-based road map for therapy. In addition to its proprietary precision-oncology platform, Helomics offers boutique CRO services that leverage its TruTumor(TM), patient-derived tumor models coupled to a wide range of multi-omics assays (genomics, proteomics and biochemical), and an AI-powered proprietary bioinformatics platform (D- CHIP) to provide a tailored solution to its clients’ specific needs. Predictive Oncology’s TumorGenesis subsidiary is developing a new rapid approach to growing tumors in the laboratory, which essentially “fools” cancer cells into thinking they are still growing inside a patient. Its proprietary Oncology Discovery Technology Platform kits will assist researchers and clinicians in identifying which cancer cells bind to specific biomarkers. Once the biomarkers are identified, they can be used in TumorGenesis’ Oncology Capture Technology Platforms, which isolate and help categorize an individual patient’s heterogeneous tumor samples to enable the development of patient-specific treatment options. Helomics and TumorGenesis are focused on ovarian cancer. Predictive Oncology’s Skyline Medical division markets its patented and FDA-cleared STREAMWAY System, which automates the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluid, including blood, irrigation fluid and others, within a medical facility, through both domestic and international divisions. The company has achieved sales in five of the seven continents through both direct sales and distributor partners. For more information, please visit www.Predictive-Oncology.com.

$LXRP Concerns About Vape Addiction, Injury Provide Lexaria with Opportunity

  • Lexaria Bioscience continues to advance the effectiveness of its proprietary DehydraTECH technology, a formulation that teams with drug substances such as nicotine and cannabidiol to quickly carry those drugs into a user’s blood stream
  • Recent concerns about the safety of vape products and ongoing concerns about the safety of tobacco are opening doors to Lexaria’s edible technology
  • Newly legalized cannabis-infused edibles began hitting store shelves nationwide in Canada last month, presenting Lexaria with new potential licensing outlets for its increasingly effective products

If 2019 was the year when vape users discovered the potential perils of using untested off-brand products, 2020 may well be the year when vape users share the common woe of struggling to beat an addiction.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported at year’s end that 2,561 people had been hospitalized with the vape-related lung illness now known as ‘e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury’ (EVALI) as of December 27, that the illness had afflicted every U.S. state and two territories, and……

$LXRP South Dakota Governor Reconsiders Vetoing Hemp Law

South Dakota’s governor, Kristi Noem, is considering giving the go-ahead to the development of a hemp industry law as long as it meets her requirements. On Thursday, Noem announced that although she is not in favor of hemp, she would not oppose the bill if the legislature approves it and it meets her requirements. Speaking with KELO, Noem detailed her requirements of which she said that the crop must have stringent regulations and that the lawmakers should devise a way to pay for the hemp program.

The lawmakers have a draft bill ready and are planning to introduce it this week when the legislative sessions begin, said Lee Qualm, the House Majority Leader. He also added that the bill meets most of the requirements stated by Noem.

Some of the provisions in the draft bill that meet Noem’s requirements include the cultivation of hemp by farmers as long as they have a minimum of five acres, THC levels to be kept below 0.3%, and that the producers should have a license obtained from the state, as well as a hemp transportation permit.

Qualm further said that the current legislation has emergency clauses such that if it is approved, it would be effective immediately, allowing growers to participate in the spring’s planting season. However, he is not sure if the provision will be okayed. The federal department of agriculture would still need to approve the hemp plan, and this would leave the farmers with less than enough time to participate in the 2020 planting season.

The total cost of starting the hemp program would be $1.9 million, and an additional cost of maintaining the hemp program of $1.6 million, Noem’s office estimated. Noem also wants the fields and hemp facilities to be searched and inspected by law enforcement.

Last year, the governor took advantage of her power and vetoed the bill, and she planned on doing the same this year. Noem argued that legalizing hemp would be a gateway to marijuana legalization.

However, on Thursday, the governor announced a change of heart.

Although the Department of Agriculture in South Dakota had released guidelines for industrial hemp, South Dakota was one of the three states that did not approve hemp production because of the governor’s opposition. Some of the Indian tribes’ hemp plans are pending approval by the USDA, and the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe has already been authorized to grow hemp by the USDA. Meanwhile, South Dakota has had to permit interstate transportation of hemp in order to comply with federal law.

Experts think that the entire hemp industry, including sector players like Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) and SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING), will be hoping that the state finally joins the rest of the country in enjoying the benefits that accrue from a legal hemp industry.

$SGLB Strives to Help Aerospace Manufacturers Overcome 3D Quality Manufacturing Problems

January 14, 2020

  • 3D-printed weight-optimized and flow-optimized parts significantly improve the performance of aircraft and rockets
  • Global aerospace 3D-printing market estimated at $1.4 billion in 2018, projected to reach $6.8 billion by 2026
  • Sigma Labs’ breakthrough quality-assurance solution PrintRite3D® set to revolutionize 3D-printing industry, enabling it to grow globally

Sigma Labs Inc. (NASDAQ: SGLB) is set to exploit the tremendous aerospace 3D-printing-market growth potential with its revolutionary in-process, quality-assurance technology. This technology is poised to help the industry scale a critical hurdle: ensuring effective and efficient quality in real time.

The global aerospace 3D-printing market was estimated at $1.4 billion in 2018, projected to reach $6.8 billion by 2026 with an expected CAGR in excess of 22% during the forecast period. The airline and spacecraft segment is expected to lead the aerospace 3D-printing market due to the need for low-volume, low-weight parts that can be manufactured using 3D-printing technologies, which reduces supply chain constraints, minimizes warehouse space and lowers waste materials compared to traditional manufacturing processes (http://nnw.fm/H4tjI).

As the industry is challenged by environmental restrictions, high manufacturing cost and a competitive market environment, 3D metal components manufacturing offers a unique solution to help overcome much of these challenges.

Weight is considered the most important feature in the design and development of an aircraft because of its tremendous impact on fuel consumption. 3D-printing technology can help build lighter fuel-saving aircraft parts, a characteristic essential in an industry that operates at low-profit margins. Additive manufacturing provides advanced manufacturing techniques for developing the components, parts while maintaining the strength and aerodynamic features of an aircraft. This is an important motivating factor for airlines to procure newer generation aircraft, which will drive the growth of the additive-manufacturing sector. The aircraft segment currently holds the major share in 3D printing for the aerospace and defense market.

3D-printing technology also provides companies with a critical competitive advantage as it offers the flexibility to design and test products multiple times and quickly build prototypes, helping companies to cost effectively reduce uncertainties and improve the functionality of their products, thereby accelerating design cycles and reducing time to market.

By making the production process of components faster, cheaper, and simpler, while also enabling the seamless integration of components into a single structure and reducing the need for external joints, fasteners and adhesives, additive manufacturing has attracted interest from major aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus B.V. as well as component producers such as Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney and GE Aviation.

However, 3D-printing technology is facing a significant technical hurdle: real-time process monitoring and control. Due to variability in the 3D-printing process, consistent quality of produced parts is not reliably achieved without postproduction inspection, which is time consuming, costly and results in high rejection costs. Since components and parts can currently be inspected only by CT scans and other means, the producer doesn’t know until the end of the process if the finished parts meet design specifications, resulting in lost time and profits as well as the inability to economically scale up production.

Sigma Labs is revolutionizing the traditional quality assurance process with its quality-assurance software that operates in real-time, in process as parts are being formed unlike any other quality-assurance software on the market, Sigma Labs’ PrintRite3D® is a unique third-party validated software that enables real-time monitoring, analysis, feedback and control during the 3D-printing process of precision metal parts. PrintRite3D detects defects during the production process while providing feedback to machine operators allowing corrective actions to be taken, leading to faster production of metal parts with fewer errors and a more uniform product. Users will realize results in decreased downtime and waste while increasing yield and profits for 3D-printing companies.

Compared to its competitors, Sigma Labs’ PrintRite3D provides users with a superior solution. Most other solutions do not offer features such as crucial calibration filters, raw data export, machine-learning-enabled automated anomaly detection, and 3D thermal data visualization. Within the rapidly growing aerospace sector, Sigma Labs has been recognized as a superior solution to the industry’s critical needs and, as such, was selected by the industry-leading producer Airbus earlier this year to deploy its PrintRite3D Rapid Test and Evaluation Program.

With tier-1 clients such as Airbus, Siemens, Pratt & Whitney and Honeywell evaluating the software, Sigma Labs is on a clear path to grow significantly in 2020. The company is uniquely positioned to capture a significant part of the sizable addressable market with its proprietary technology that enables the entire 3D-metal-printing industry to overcome the single most-significant barrier to adoption in serial production.

$LXRP DehydraTECH Platform Boosts CBD Absorption Levels

Lexaria Bioscience’s (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) innovative DehydraTECH(TM) delivery platform is patented for all nonpsychoactive cannabinoids as well as for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and psychoactive cannabinoids. An article discussing the company reads, “Medical researchers have struggled to find ways to penetrate the blood brain barrier effectively to transport beneficial drugs for many years. This barrier exists to block toxic or otherwise dangerous substances from entering the brain and is formed by layers of microvascular endothelial cells inside blood vessels. Lexaria’s DehydraTECH(TM) drug delivery platform brings beneficial drugs to the brain faster. . . . In June 2019, Lexaria completed a series of animal studies using an enhanced formulation of its DehydraTECH technology. This series built on the company’s original, independent, third-party laboratory in vitro lab experiments began in 2015, which showed utilization of the DehydraTECH drug-delivery platform increased the absorption levels of cannabidiol (CBD) in human intestinal cells by an impressive 499%. The results of the studies showed delivery of 1,937% more CBD into animal brain tissue after eight hours using the enhanced DehydraTECH technology in comparison with generic industry MCT coconut-oil formulations. Moreover, the animal studies using the enhanced formulation showed an 811% increase of CBD delivery into the blood in comparison with generic MCT coconut-oil formulations.”

$GWPD Says that GrowPods May Help Farmers Reduce Financial Risk, Increase Quality Control

The ability to micro-manage crops in a Pod can help assure success by offering better control and risk mitigation

COLTON, Calif., Jan. 13, 2020 — GP Solutions (OTC:GWPD), the developer of modular controlled-environment micro-farms, says that GrowPods may help farmers reduce risk and increase quality control.

Crop failure can be devastating for large and small farms. Crop failure does not only occur in open fields – even in greenhouses and indoor cultivation facilities, crops can fail for a variety of reasons.

Weather certainly takes its toll on farms. Last Spring across the Midwest, torrential rains soaked fields, leaving the soil unsuitable for planting millions of acres.

Last May, the USDA announced that due to weather conditions, farmers had some of the lowest rates of planting in history. Some farmers declared a total crop loss.

Indoor farms are also susceptible to crop failure. Temperature, humidity, oxygen, watering and feeding cycles, and other factors need to be finely tuned to ensure a healthy crop. Additionally, male plants can accidentally pollinate and ruin an entire crop. And even in winter, some insects can find their way into a growroom and ravage a crop.

But with the GrowPod system, that risk is compartmentalized. Since the Pods are sealed, there is little chance of contamination. However, even if there is contamination, it can usually be contained within one pod and that risk is mitigated, causing significantly less damage than a crop problem could cost a producer who grows in a large open room or greenhouse.

With the ability to micromanage crops, there is a higher likelihood of success and better management of many potential issues that could be devastating in other growing conditions.

$JMDA Developed Proprietary Technology to Power its Best-In-Class Creator Platform

January 13, 2020

  • The Vocal platform, which ranks among top online creator platforms, is built on the idea of a qualified ecosystem involving multiple stakeholders, including creators, audiences, and brands
  • Vocal experiences significant growth, onboarding hundreds of new creators each day
  • JMDA offers Vocal+, a premium subscription membership program with value-added features

After six years of strategic focus and relentless work, Jerrick Media Holdings Inc. (OTC: JMDA), a holding company that creates technology+, has built a distinctive technology platform that ranks among the top online creator platforms in the digital world. Designed to develop, empower, and engage content creators in a cost-effective way, Jerrick’s flagship product, Vocal, has grown to be one of the top online creator platforms, accruing hundreds of new creators daily.

“Vocal is now a scalable and sustainable technology platform ready for the endurance race,” Jerrick CEO Jeremy Frommer stated in the update (http://nnw.fm/I8rpq). “On a daily basis, we onboard 400-500 freemium creators, approximately 5-10% of which upgrade to Vocal+ within seven days, seeking a higher value proposition. The Vocal+ conversion rate is up from what was only 1-2% approximately 60-90 days ago. Underlying this monumental growth potential are accretive math formulas with which we designed the qualified ecosystem that makes Vocal so unique.”

Vocal+ is Jerrick’s premium subscription membership program. Vocal+ members pay a membership fee for value-added features, including increased earnings for their content, reduced platform processing fees on tips received, a Vocal+ badge on their creator page, early access to new features on the Vocal Platform and other rewards. Creators can sign up for free or upgrade to Vocal+, available for purchase on either a $99 annual or $9.99 monthly subscription basis.

According to Frommer, the Vocal platform is built on the idea of a qualified ecosystem, or a well-curated community of individuals, brands, and audiences brought together by a common interest or goal. “Core to the success of this type of ecosystem is a proprietary technology,” said Frommer. “The platform must offer a needed solution to a digital problem while being safe to engage with and efficient to use. From Upwork and Spotify to Vocal and Vimeo, these new platforms are the future of online communities.”

Individuals use these virtual communities of transaction to buy, sell or learn more about products and services; to discuss shared interests; to develop social relations; and to explore new identities. Savvy businesses that create and tap into these powerful virtual communities can experience significant benefits, including increased sales, positive word‐of‐mouth, more effective market segmentation, increased website traffic, stronger brand awareness, higher advertising and transaction fee revenue, and better product support and service delivery.

“Vocal is this type of platform that has cultivated a strong virtual community and is now reaping the benefits,” Frommer noted. “We found success when we stopped believing that we were smarter than the data, and we learned to see where the data was pointing and followed that path.”

Jerrick is focused on the development of digital communities, targeted marketing of branded digital content, and e-commerce opportunities. To accomplish these objectives, Jerrick envisions, designs and builds modern technology companies that redefine how people interact with technology. As the parent company of Vocal, Jerrick has built and shipped products that have influenced millions of people worldwide.

$YGYI South Carolina Threatens to Crackdown on Companies Making Pet and Animal CBD Feeds

The CBD craze that’s taking over the world is said to have outpaced science. Only a year old, CBD has grown to a sector worth billions of dollars, with experts predicting it will hit $20 billion by 2026. It started with the Farm Bill of 2018 which legalized Industrial hemp, allowing people to grow and sell hemp and its extracts, including CBD.

The legislation stated that only cannabis with less than 0.3% THC could be classified as hemp, but that was the extent of the Farm Bill’s stipulation. With barely any other regulations in place, the hemp and CBD industries quickly grew, filling up…
