$POAI Looks to AI to Improve Clinical Decision Making for Ovarian Cancer Patients

Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Helomics, has sought to end the alarming statistics surrounding ovarian cancer. According to figures provided by the American Cancer Society and quoted by an article discussing POAI’s motivations and operations, “an estimated 21,750 women received a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer this year (2020), and almost 14,000 women will die from the disease. Those numbers make ovarian cancer the fifth-leading cause of cancer deaths in women.” In a bid to change this reality, Predictive Oncology, a company that focuses on using data and artificial intelligence to develop personalized cancer therapies, has partnered with the University of Pittsburg School of Medicine, through Helomics, “to study the use of artificial intelligence (‘AI’) to improve clinical decision making for ovarian cancer patients. The collaboration entails using Helomics’ AI platform and proprietary data to analyze the genomic and drug response profiles of women with ovarian cancer to evaluate predictive values in terms of response and non-response to different treatments… Helomics’ predictive models will save time and money in the search for new targeted therapies.”

  • “It is truly encouraging to achieve yet another incredible revenue milestone and to start the new year with such vigor and success,” states CEO
  • Record revenue comes during one of slowest e-commerce periods of year, highlighting impact the company has in the plant-based marketplace

PlantX Life (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) saw record gross revenues last month (https://ibn.fm/qro4v). The company released its monthly numbers, noting that gross revenues for January 2021 totaled a record-breaking C$1,089,502; cost of goods sold for the month reached C$751,356.

PlantX Life stated that its January numbers surpassed its December 2020 gross revenues of $1,029,883, which were achieved during a highly dynamic holiday season. “This was surpassed by January 2021’s revenue, which exceeded management’s expectations given that e-commerce sales were expected to be slower following the holiday season,” the announcement noted. “This success during one of the slowest e-commerce periods of the year highlights the tremendous impact the company continues to have in the plant-based marketplace.” The announcement stated that the company’s growth reflects its commitment to meet consumer demand and continues to be driven by its innovative partnerships as well as its marketing and branding efforts.

As the digital face of the plant-based community, PlantX’s platform is the one-stop shop for everything plant-based. With its fast-growing category verticals, the company offers customers across North America more than 10,000 plant-based products.

In addition, the company uses its digital platform to build a community of like-minded consumers and to provide education. Its successful enterprise is being built and fortified through partnerships with top nutritionists, chefs and brands. For example, the company offers 20 unique pre-made meals designed by top chefs and nutritionists.

The company’s commitment to customer service is the driving force behind its e-commerce platform, with innovative thinking driving its operation; the PlantX team is constantly envisioning new ways to collaborate with local restaurateurs and entrepreneurs to bring PlantX to the world.

$NETE Featured as $F Injects $1 Billion in Germany, Targets EU Market for EVs

Several countries across the world have set green-energy targets as the race toward electrifying the roads heats up. European countries have set what are probably the most ambitious targets, consequently pushing automakers towards adopting green energy much faster. American car maker Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F), for instance, has unveiled plans to spend $1 billion on modernizing a factory in Cologne, Germany, as it works towards its target of selling only electric passenger cars on the continent by 2030.

According to the automaker, the plant will be overhauled and used to produce Ford’s first European-built, mass-volume electric passenger car starting in 2023. All the passenger cars Ford sells in Europe by mid-2026 will be either all-electric or plug-in hybrids with both an internal combustion engine as well as a rechargeable battery and an electric motor, the company says. Ultimately, Ford aims to sell only all-electric passenger cars to the European market by 2030.

Stuart Rowley, president of Ford Europe, says that after successfully restructuring the company’s European operations and turning a profit in the Q4 2020, Ford is now looking at an all-electric future in Europe. While tougher regulations by European countries have forced the company to start thinking about zero-emission cars, the move is also due to increased customer interest in electric vehicles, Rowley says. Electric vehicles have seen what he calls “very strong demand,” with more customers warming up to the idea of owning and driving a zero-emission vehicle.

The move comes a few weeks after Ford announced that it was going to invest at least $22 billion worldwide until 2025 to develop and produce battery electric vehicles. That figure is inclusive of the $7 billion the automaker already spent from 2016 to the end of 2020. This commitment toward shifting to green energy can partly be attributed to Europe’s stance on carbon emissions. The continent is home to some of the most aggressive emission targets, with companies that don’t comply facing huge potential fines.

Although Ford recently delivering the Mustang Mach-E, it still has a lot of catching up to do. Volkswagen, which in 2019 announced an alliance with Ford, currently enjoys the highest EV sales in the European market while global EV leader Tesla is currently building its first European gigafactory in Berlin that will produce batteries, powertrains and vehicles, starting with the best-selling Tesla Model 3.

Aside from the Mach-E, Ford has more electric vehicles on the way, including the E-Transit commercial van, which  will roll-out to American dealerships late this year and in Europe in early 2022.

Ranked among the top 500 tech companies by Deloitte, Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) is set to enter the electric vehicle industry through a reverse merger with a California-based EV manufacturer.

$MWK Sees Outlook Rise as Result of Pandemic Trends

February 26, 2021
  • The COVID-19 pandemic is a year old, having devastated a number of markets since its discovery and spread were first reported in China
  • While many industries have suffered worldwide during the year, the distancing requirements instituted in response to the pandemic have led buyers to turn to online retail outlets for many products
  • Consumer products marketer Mohawk Group Holdings has been ideally situated to take advantage of the 44 percent growth in online commerce spending during 2020 and beyond
  • Mohawk’s stock took an initial beating with the outbreak of the pandemic, but has since rebounded and rose more than 400 percent during the past three months alone
  • The company’s holdings saw sales grow from $88.8 million to $144.2 million during the first nine months of 2020

Consumer products platform Mohawk Group Holdings (NASDAQ: MWK)  is riding a wave of optimism as an online retail marketer benefitting from the spike in remote access purchasing during the year-old COVID-19 pandemic.

Mohawk principally leverages its proprietary technology as a third-party seller on Amazon, and grew sales revenue from $88.8 million to $144.2 million during the first nine months of 2020 reported in its most recent quarterly filing (https://ibn.fm/TyCKQ).

An outside market opinion writer published this month in media outlet The Motley Fool noted that the company’s shares took a huge dive when the pandemic provoked strict commerce-limiting measures throughout the United States last year, but has also sharply rebounded.

“Yes, the stock is up over 400% in the past three months, but it is still early innings for this tech-enabled CPG (consumer packaged goods) conglomerate, so don’t fool yourself into thinking you’ve missed the boat with this business,” the opinion writer, Brett Schafer, states (https://ibn.fm/yV8Jc).

Schafer cited a Digital Commerce 360 report stating that e-commerce has experienced tremendous growth during the past year, with online shopping forming more than 20 percent of retail spending in the United States during 2020. The $861 billion spent online was a 44 percent increase over the previous year.

Amazon captured nearly a third of the online market share, with sales growth of 54 percent during the final quarter of the year. Mohawk’s position as a third-party Amazon seller allows it to ride the commerce giant’s coattails.

The company’s Artificial Intelligence Mohawk E-commerce Engine (“AIMEE”) helps it identify market opportunities then design, develop and launch products from its stable of 12 brands in categories including kitchenware and home appliances, environmental appliances, beauty products and consumer electronics.

Mohawk also sells its AIMEE software to other online sellers, granting the company revenue with high margins and a huge market opportunity. The company has offices in the United States, Canada, China and the Philippines and takes advantage of its global footprint to move its products around the clock.

The platform’s Fulfillment Engine helps to guide inventory location, cost optimization and use of third-party networks to cut shipping times.

When Mohawk announced the acquisition of online essential oils seller Healing Solutions, LLC in early February, the company reported it expects the acquisition to help boost its net revenues for 2021 to a range between $340 million to $370 million, with net income for the year estimated to reach between $1 million and $5 million primarily in response to quarterly interest expense, net and stock-based compensation expense.

Mohawk forecasts its adjusted EBITDA will be between $28 million and $32 million.

$FRSX Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2020. Foresight ended the fourth quarter of 2020 with $43.9 million in cash and short-term deposits.

Foresight reported a GAAP operating loss of $12.84 million for the full year 2020 which is an approximately 15% less than the GAAP operating loss of $15.03 million reported for the full year 2019. Foresight reported a GAAP net loss of $3.96 million and $15.32 million for the fourth quarter 2020 and the full year, respectively, and a non-GAAP net loss of $3.71 million for the fourth quarter and $14.16 million for the full year 2020.

“We achieved important key milestones during the fourth quarter of 2020 and maintained solid progress throughout the year in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Haim Siboni, Foresight’s CEO. “We are entering 2021 with a strong balance sheet, following successful capital raises including $26 million raised in our registered direct offering announced on December 28, 2020. We will continue to build on our innovative product portfolio, which has been validated through key prototype orders and partnerships in Europe, Asia and North America.”

“The successful year also extends to our subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile, and our affiliate, Rail Vision. Both companies achieved major business milestones during the fourth quarter of 2020, as Rail Vision received a second investment of $10 million from a leading Tier One European-based group, Knorr-Bremse, in October 2020, and Eye-Net Mobile signed a distribution agreement with Cornes Technologies, a leading Japanese trading house. We believe that Rail Vision and Eye-Net Mobile are poised for further growth in 2021,” concluded Mr. Siboni.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results

  • Research and development (R&D) expenses, net for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $2,189,000 compared to $3,203,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease is attributed mainly to a decrease in subcontracted and consulting services, decreases in payroll and related expenses (attributed to the reorganization of the field application engineering, sales & marketing, and R&D departments made in the fourth quarter of 2019) and decreases in travel expenses.
  • General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the fourth quarter 2020 were $793,000 compared to $803,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019.
  • GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $3,964,000 compared to a GAAP net loss of $4,370,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease is attributed mainly to the decrease in R&D expenses, offset by the increase in marketing and sales expenses.
  • Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $3,712,000 compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $4,018,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019. A reconciliation between GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release. Non-GAAP results exclude the effect of share-based compensation expenses.

Full Year 2020 Financial Results

  • R&D expenses, net for the full year ended December 31, 2020 were $8,563,000, compared to $10,210,000, in the full year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is attributed mainly to a decrease in subcontracted and consulting services and travel expenses, offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses. The decrease in R&D expenses is a result of the reduction in the monthly operating expenses made by the Company during the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
  • G&A expenses for the full year ended December 31, 2020 were $3,005,000, compared to $3,469,000 in the full year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is attributed mainly to a decrease in payroll and related expenses and a decrease in professional services.
  • GAAP net loss for the full year ended December 31, 2020 was $15,324,000 compared to a GAAP net loss of $15,439,000 in the full year ended December 31, 2019.
  • Non-GAAP net loss for the full year ended December 31, 2020 was $14,162,000 compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $13,476,000 in the full year ended December 31, 2019. The increase is attributed to the increase in equity in the net loss of an affiliated company. A reconciliation between GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release. Non-GAAP results exclude the effect of share-based compensation expenses, revaluation of other investments and revaluation of derivative warrant liability expenses.

Balance Sheet Highlights

  • Cash and short-term deposits totaled $43.9 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $10.1 million as of December 31, 2019.
  • Investments in Rail Vision Ltd. totaled $4.1 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $6.7 million as of December 31, 2019. The decrease is attributed primarily to Foresight’s exposure to Rail Vision’s net loss in 2020. As of December 31, 2020, we no longer have a significant influence in Rail Vision Ltd., due to a decrease in our holdings and voting rights resulting from the dilution that occurred in October 2020 as a result of Knorr Bremse’s additional investment in Rail Vision Ltd. As a result, we stopped using the equity method for accounting purposes as of suchdate and started measuring the investment in Rail Vision based on its actual cost offset by impairment.
  • GAAP total equity totaled $47.1 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $16.3 million as of December 31, 2019. The increase is attributed to the receipt of proceeds from the securities offerings completed in 2020 offset by the net loss accrued during the same period.
  • Non-GAAP total equity totaled $47.1 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $16.6 million as of December 31, 2019.
  • A reconciliation between GAAP total equity results and non-GAAP total equity results is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release. Non-GAAP results exclude revaluation of other investments.

Fourth Quarter Corporate Highlights :

The gross proceeds of the offering were approximately $26 million, which will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
  • Foresight Executed Sales Agreement : On October 2, 2020, Foresight entered into a sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, pursuant to which it was able to offer and sell up to $8.1 million of its ADSs from time to time. The offering has been fully exhausted.
  • Foresight Completes Integration of NVIDIA Platforms for Use in Autonomous Machines and Vehicles: In November 2020, Foresight completed integration of its QuadSight ® software on the NVIDIA ® Jetson AGX Xavier™ platform, enabling shuttles, agriculture equipment and heavy equipment machines to operate Foresight’s stereoscopic obstacle detection software. Foresight also joined the NVIDIA Inception program, providing go-to-market support, technological assistance and expertise to AI startups using NVIDIA processing units.
  • Rail Vision Receives Order for Electrically Powered Light Rail Vehicle Systems from Knorr-Bremse: Rail Vision entered the multi-billion-dollar electrically powered light rail market with an order for two system samples from Knorr-Bremse in December 2020. Additionally, Knorr-Bremse ordered the customization of system features according to its requirements. Revenue from the sale is expected to total approximately 400,000 Euro.
  • Foresight to Take Part in Automation of Future Heavy-Duty Vehicles European Project: As part of the Horizon 2020 framework program, the European Commission awarded a grant of nearly 20 million Euro for the All-Weather Autonomous Real logistics operations and Demonstrations (AWARD) consortium.

According to the agreement, Cornes Technologies will promote the Eye-Net™ cellular-based accident prevention suite in products and applications of third parties in Japan. The distribution agreement follows multiple successful pilot projects with Japanese multinational companies, as well as ongoing interest from additional Japanese companies.
  • Rail Vision Receives $10 Million Investment from Leading Tier One European Based Knorr-Bremse: Following an initial investment of $10 million in March 2019, Knorr-Bremse made an additional investment of $10 million in Rail Vision in October 2020. Following the additional investment, Knorr-Bremse owns 36.79% of Rail Vision’s outstanding capital. The investment reflected Rail Vision’s post-money valuation of approximately $50 million. As a result of the investment, Foresight’s holdings in Rail Vision amount to 19.34% (16.49% on a fully diluted basis).
  • Foresight Launches COVID-19 Mass Screening Solution in Japan; Showcases Solution in United Arab Emirates: Foresight launched its COVID-19 symptom detection mass screening solution at SEECAT 2020, a technology exhibition targeting the public defense and safety sectors.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures of net loss for the period that excludes the effect of share-based compensation expenses, the revaluation of other investments and revaluation of derivative warrant liability, and non-GAAP financial measures of shareholders’ equity that excludes the effect of derivative warrant liability and the revaluation of other investments. The company’s management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of the company’s ongoing operations. Management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures are provided later in this press release.

$XPHYF Massachusetts Legislators Introduce Bills to Study Psychedelics, Remove Criminal Penalties

Last week, legislators in Massachusetts introduced initiatives that may help end the war on drugs in the state. One measure would establish a task force whose focus will be to study fungi and plant-based psychedelics, its objective being to regulate and legalize these substances. The  second other proposal would do away with criminal penalties for drug possession.

This isn’t the only call to end criminal prohibition in the state. Recently, the city councils of Cambridge and Somerville adopted initiatives that made possession of psychedelics among the lowest law enforcement priorities for their municipalities.

HD 3439, which was introduced to the House by Reps. Mike Connolly and Liz Miranda, would establish a civil fine of $50 for possession of controlled substances. SD 2248, a senate version of the bill that is almost identical to the House legislation, was introduced by Senator Julian Andre Cyr. A separate House legislation that would take the state past decriminalization and permit regulated sales of some drugs was also introduced by Connolly.

To begin with, HD 3829 would set up an interorganizational task force whose purpose would be to study the social justice and public health consequences of legalizing the distribution, consumption, transportation and possession of naturally grown, entheogenic fungi and plants. The legislation states that the task force, which will be made up of 21 people, will study the effects of fungi and plant-based psychedelics and provide suggestions regarding how to legalize these psychedelic substances in a way that would maximize both the sustainable manufacture of these entheogens as well as equitable access.

The initiative also demands that the task force provide counsel around “equity and expungement measures, diversion, parole and pardons” for individuals who have criminal records because of the distribution or possession of controlled substances.

Massachusetts is not the only state considering measures that do away with drug penalties. In California, Sen. Scott Wiener introduced a bill that would legalize the social sharing and possession of some drugs including MDMA, psilocybin mushrooms, DMT, LSD, ibogaine, mescaline and ketamine. The legislation would also offer expungement of past criminal records for the use or possession of psychedelic substances.

Additionally, the state of California would set up a task force under the initiative to study the possible future systems of regulation around psychedelics. The task force will be required to present a report on its findings by 2024.

Lawmakers in the states of VirginiaConnecticutWashington StateFloridaKansas and Hawaii are also considering drug policy and psychedelics reform legislations for the 2021 session.

The momentum in favor of psychedelics is also manifesting on the business front. For instance, XPhyto Therapeutics Corp. (CSE: XPHY) (OTCQB: XPHYF) (FSE: 4XT) has set its sights on producing active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) from psychedelic compounds on an industrial scale.

$WRAP Reports New BolaWrap Deployments

TEMPE, Ariz., Feb. 25, 2021  — Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “WRAP”) (Nasdaq: WRAP ), an innovator of modern policing solutions, today reported seven new BolaWrap deployments on suspects in the field by agencies in New York, California, Texas, and South Carolina. The Company was informed of the deployments over the last two weeks. These wraps are in addition to the deployment by the Buffalo Police Department reported by the media earlier this week.

Two wraps were deployed on suspects by an agency in Texas, two wraps were deployed by an agency in California, two wraps were deployed by two different agencies in New York, and one wrap was deployed by an agency in South Carolina.

“We are pleased to see the continued use of the BolaWrap in the field as more and more agencies across the United States adopt the device onto their duty belts,” said Tom Smith, President of WRAP. “As agencies consider use of the BolaWrap as a very low level of force option, many uses are not reported to us and many agencies don’t even consider BolaWrap deployments a reportable use of force. So while we don’t always hear about deployments right away, we are excited to share periodic field use updates with our stakeholders.”

$UEC CEO Talks Domestic Uranium Production, UEC Seizing Opportunity During Recent Podcast Appearance

  • UEC president CEO Amir Adnani is featured on a recent episode of Bell2Bell Podcast.
  • Adnani notes that Uranium Energy Corp. is focused on rebuilding, restarting a domestic infrastructure to mine uranium for carbon-free nuclear energy.
  • The Company’s production area in the Burke Hollow project is the newest, largest ISR well field being developed in the country.

Uranium Energy (NYSE American: UEC) president and CEO Amir Adnani was featured on a recent episode of The Bell2Bell Podcast (https://ibn.fm/6mYtD), a podcast series focused on providing informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives leading companies that are operating in fast-moving industries. Under Adnani’s guidance, Uranium Energy advanced from concept to U.S. production in its first five years of operation; UEC currently has an extensive pipeline of low-cost, near-term production projects.

“Uranium Energy Corp. is a U.S.-focused developer of uranium projects using the low-cost and environmentally friendly in-situ recovery (‘ISR’) method,” said Adnani during the podcast as he provided an overview of the company’s business model. “In South Texas, we have our hub and spoke strategy. This is anchored by our fully licensed Hobson Processing Facility, one of only a few uranium processing plants in the country. We have a number of projects . . . which will be a source of U.S.-mined uranium.”

In addition to discussing the company’s business model, Adnani touched on recent company news, specifically talking about the company’s plans moving forward as the United States looks to decrease its reliance on carbon-based fuels. “Uranium is used for generating electricity in nuclear power plants, and 55% of U.S. carbon-free energy comes from nuclear power,” he said, noting that almost all of the uranium currently needed in the country to fuel reactors is coming from foreign sources.

“We have completely lost the ability to mine uranium in the U.S. from domestic sources,” he continued. “You and I both know the importance of local sources of vital needs, be it energy sources, be it masks, be it pharmaceuticals. So what we’re trying to do is to really rebuild and restart the domestic foundation to mine uranium — the fuel that is needed to run our 94 reactors in this country.”

During the interview, Adnani talked about the federal government’s bipartisan support of a U.S. Uranium Reserve and the allocation of funds to purchase uranium produced by U.S. mines, noting that he’d never seen such a move in his extensive experience in the industry. “[UEC] is getting ready to supply uranium to the global market and this new U.S. reserve,” he noted, pointing to the company’s Burke Hollow project, located in Texas. Burke Hollow’s initial production area is the newest and largest ISR well field being developed in the country (https://ibn.fm/6Br4k).

“We need to have a foundation to mine uranium domestically in the United States,” Adnani stated. “We’re rising to that occasion as a company. As a company we are today, at our Burke Hollow project… currently building one of the largest production areas currently in the United States…We have rigs on the property, we’ve got local staff, our team. We’re hiring locally. We’re creating jobs and adding to the economic development of the local communities that we’re in, in Texas…These are incredible opportunities, because not only are we creating local jobs…we’re also tying it back to developing the ability to mine uranium domestically. And again, this dovetails strategically with our plans to be a key supplier to the U.S Uranium Reserve.”

Adnani also talked about the strength of the company’s portfolio, which includes projects in Texas, Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona, as well as Canada and Paraguay, noting that the company looks to be ideally positioned as the market looks to expand and grow.

Uranium Energy Corp. is a U.S.-based uranium mining and exploration company that controls one of the country’s largest historical uranium exploration and development databases. Founded in 2003, UEC is headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas.

$POAI Study Discovers That Protein Imbalance May Cause Cataracts

Cataracts are a common eye disease, and while researchers have yet to fully understand how the disease works, plenty of research has been done on this ailment. Recently, a group of researchers at the Technical University of Munich (“TUM”) found that the composition of the protein solution was a factor in the disease. The researchers’ findings go against the field’s popular opinion.

TUM’s chair of biotechnology Prof. Johannes Buchner explained that the cells in an eye lens are comprised of a protein solution that is highly concentrated and normally clear. However, he continued, a protein imbalance may cause the proteins to lump together, which makes the lens cloudy, thus resulting in the condition known as cataracts.

This is not the only cause of the lens becoming cloudy, as the protein found in the lens is usually developed in the embryo and isn’t replaced. This means that damage that has accumulated over the years may also be causing clouding of the lens. This explains why cataracts primarily occur in older individuals.

However, some people have a genetic predisposition to cataracts, which causes mutations in proteins in their eye lens. In such cases, cataracts usually are present at birth or appear during childhood.

During their study, the researchers examined strains of mice that were impacted by hereditary cataracts. They partnered up with a researcher from Jochen Graw’s lab, an eye lens expert and a former professor at the Helmholtz Zentrum München Institute of Development Genetics.

Until now, the prevailing opinion had stated that only the defective eye proteins reacted with one another, thus forming clumps. However, Buchner’s group of researchers has demonstrated that in the mice with hereditary cataracts, this did not happen. Buchner explained that instead they found that the unstable, mutated proteins in the lens had been eliminated immediately, and it was the healthy proteins in the lens that clumped together.

Their model, which was based off of these insights, states that the balance between different proteins or their ratios to each other is crucial because, when either of these components goes missing, the remaining components join to form clumps. Additionally, Buchner noted that while a lot of research had been conducted to understand what brought about cataracts, never had any study carried out such an extensive study of lenses in mice, which compared mutants and wild populations.

He asserted that these new discoveries were vital in the search for new cataract treatments, with the current and most common treatment method being surgery.

Speaking of diseases linked to imbalances within the body, Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) has a fully owned subsidiary known as Helomics. Helomics is currently collaborating with the School of Medicine at Pittsburg University in order to study how AI can be tapped to improve the way clinicians make decisions about ovarian cancer patients. A lot is at stake, as approximately 22,000 American women receive an ovarian cancer diagnosis each year.

$MGROF Reports Its Plant-Based Biopesticide Has Positive Impact on Soil Health

  • Studies confirm natural active ingredient, which is in MustGrow’s biopesticide, has a positive impact on soil health
  • Soil micro-organisms play crucial role in soil fertility, plant health
  • MustGrow’s safe, effective natural biopesticide is plant based, derived from the mustard seed’s natural defense mechanism

MustGrow Biologics (CSE: MGRO) (OTCQX: MGROF) (FRA: 0C0) has released study findings that confirm that the active ingredient in its mustard plant-based technology actually has a positive impact on soil health (https://ibn.fm/AeMYp). The studies have found that an application of the natural ingredient Allyl Isothiocyanate (“AITC”) returns organic plant material to the soil and contributes to the environmental and ecological security of the plant-based food supply as well as the planet generally.

“The active ingredient, AITC, in MustGrow’s mustard plant-based technology is perfect for use in modern, more sustainable pest control strategies,” said MustGrow scientific advisor Dr. Matthew J. Morra. “A biopesticide that is effective, dissipates quickly, leaves no harmful residues, and once gone, improves the soil ecosystem.” A professor emeritus of soil biochemistry at the University of Idaho, Morra is a leading world expert on products derived from oilseeds; he also has impressive expertise in developing mustard-based biopesticides.

Highlights from the study, which was separate from MustGrow, indicate that an application of AITC returns organic plant material to the soil, improves the environmental and ecological security of the planet, and creates a healthy microbial ecological environment for soil, which increases beneficial bacteria. In addition, AITC dissipates from the soil quickly, thereby eliminating any potential long-term toxicity to microorganisms.

The potential impact of MustGrow’s biopesticide on the soil cannot be overlooked. Soil micro-organisms play a crucial role in soil fertility and plant health. The use of synthetic chemicals in soil fumigation has been proven to harm beneficial micro-organisms, fungi and bacteria in the soil, actually creating a negative impact on soil fertility, plant health and nutrient transformation. So the now-verified positive impact that AITC has on soil is significant. Studies and research done on AITC have consistently concluded that the ingredient has a positive effect on the environmental and ecological security of the planet.

MustGrow’s remarkably safe and effective natural biopesticide is plant based, derived from the mustard seed’s natural defense mechanism to control diseases, pests and weeds with an organic food-grade biopesticide. The product is applied to the soil before seeds are planted. There is a growing interest in safe, effective, and plant-based biopesticides as farmers, consumers and investors alike become more aware of and committed to natural alternatives to synthetic chemical pesticides.

An agriculture biotech company, MustGrow is focused on providing natural, science-based biological solutions for high-value crops such as fruits and vegetables. The company is ideally positioned to leverage the growing momentum favoring alternatives to synthetic chemicals. As global agriculture looks to move closer to sustainable ways of boosting yields and crop protection, MustGrow continues to position itself as an essential part of the food landscape of the future with its mustard plant-based biopesticide.

$EXN Strikes Silver at Silver City Project in Saxony

  • Company announced discovery of high-grade silver mineralization at Grauer Wolf target
  • Excellon continues to develop and test new targets along the 36-kilometer strike length
  • EXN advancing a precious metals growth pipeline in Idaho, Mexico and Germany

Excellon Resources (TSX: EXN) (NYSE American: EXN) (FSE: E4X2), a silver and base metals producer with operations in Mexico and precious metal exploration projects in Mexico, Idaho and Germany, has announced a new discovery. The discovery of high-grade silver mineralization comes at Grauer Wolf, the fourth target drilled at EXN’s Silver City project (https://ibn.fm/1vKtG).

According to the announcement, the discovery is located on a geological site with little historical mining and adds a fourth priority area for follow-up in the 2021 drilling program at Silver City. With eight holes still outstanding, there is strong potential for additional discoveries in parallel strikes. The company is in the process of planning and preparing for more extensive drilling for its Bräunsdorf, Reichenbach, Peter Vein and now Grauer Wolf projects.

Excellon is focused on advancing a precious metals growth pipeline through exploration and development of projects that include:

  • Platosa — 11,000 hectares hosting the highest-grade silver mine in Mexico and 100% owned by EXN (https://ibn.fm/vCZjs)
  • Kilgore — 6,788 hectare high-quality gold development project in Idaho and 100% owned by EXN (https://ibn.fm/StydP)
  • Silver City — high-grade epithermal silver district in Saxony, Germany with the option to own 100% (https://ibn.fm/N8Jm9)

The 16,400-hectare Silver City project has been mined for 750 years. Records indicate high-grade silver production in excess of 1,000 g/t was mined throughout the area. Mining slowed to a standstill in the late-19th century after Germany dropped the silver standard in 1873 and the gold/silver ratio skyrocketed when silver prices plummeted. EXN is the first modern-day exploration program to focus on precious metals throughout the area, and the company is already seeing promising results.

Thanks to this new discovery, Grauer Wolf is now the fourth priority area for follow-up in the Silver City 2021 drilling program. Lesser known and located 1.5 kilometers north of the Reichenbach target, Grauer Wolf is a relatively unexploited mafiac volcanic contact.

$CNSP Announces Progress Toward Upcoming Berubicin Trial

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system, today confirmed that the clinical program for Berubicin is on track to start enrolling patients in March 2021. CNS’ lead product candidate, Berubicin, is a novel anthracycline and the first anthracycline to cross the blood-brain barrier and is in development for the treatment of a number of serious brain and CNS oncology indications. The upcoming, potentially pivotal study will evaluate the efficacy of Berubicin in the treatment of adult glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), one of the most aggressive types of brain cancer. “I am very pleased with our progress and the team’s execution towards the start of our program. We have made significant advancements and are now finalizing clinical site selection and preparing to begin patient screening, which we expect to commence next month,” said John Climaco, CEO of CNS Pharmaceuticals. “Berubicin’s promising results demonstrated in the Phase 1 clinical trial build on sixty years of clinical experience with anthracyclines. Berubicin is an entirely novel molecule that represents an opportunity to recognize the powerful benefits of this tried-and-true class of drugs for neuro-oncology in general and in the fight against GBM in particular. We are deeply committed to driving this program forward as expeditiously as possible with the prime focus on our mission to improve patient outcomes for GBM.”

About CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. Its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound and has acquired all data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with Berubicin in malignant brain tumors, which Reata conducted in 2006. In this trial the overall response rate of stable disease or better was 44%. This 44% disease control rate was based on 11 patients (out of 25 evaluable patients) with stable disease, plus responders. One patient experienced a durable complete response and remains cancer-free as of Feb. 20, 2020. These Phase 1 results represent a limited patient sample size and, while promising, are not a guarantee that similar results will be achieved in subsequent trials. By the end of the first quarter of 2021, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S., while a sub-licensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland. Its second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies that it is 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.

$MOTNF Announces Excess Electricity Generated by PowerTap’s Blue Hydrogen Fueling Technology

Clean Power Capital (CSE: MOVE) (FWB: 2K6) (OTC: MOTNF), an investment company, has announced that the third-generation technology of PowerTap Hydrogen Fueling Corp., an investee company of Clean Power, has electricity-generating capability. Clean Power made the announcement as Texas has experienced severe weather resulting in widespread electricity outages. In the announcement, the company noted that while designing its onsite Blue Hydrogren fueling tech, PowerTap knew that electricity shortages were a possibility in areas where the hydrogen fueling stations would be installed. In order to produce enough electricity to keep the fueling stations open, PowerTap’s third-generation onsite hydrogen fueling units all feature an industrial hydrogen fuel cell, which can be used to turn excess hydrogen into electricity. Clean Power invested in PowerTap last year. “We have taken the patented second-generation PowerTap technology, which is in use in private and public hydrogen fueling stations in the United States, and enhanced the technology for the coming Hydrogen Highway,” said PowerTap COO Kelley Owen in the press release.

$XPHYF Researchers to Investigate Whether DMT Can Accelerate Recovery from Stroke

Algernon Pharmaceuticals, a Canadian company, plans to conduct a clinical trial to study how DMT, a psychedelic drug, can be used to trigger faster recovery in people who have had a stroke.

The company says that study participants will receive a “microdose,” or an amount too small to trigger the hallucinogenic effects of the drug. While this small dose is too small for subjects to “trip,” it is hoped that the small dose will be sufficient to boost the recovery of neural activity and connections within the brain, thereby reducing how much damage the brain could suffer during and after a stroke.

Researchers hope that if their study is successful, it will be possible to initiative effective treatment while a patient is still in the ambulance rather than waiting for several hours while a CT scan is done to ascertain what treatment approach is needed.

The hope of the team isn’t altogether unfounded. In an animal model of the study, the flow of blood was blocked in half of the brain of some rats. When some of those rats were given DMT, they had fewer lesions in their brains and they were able to grow new brain cells at a faster rate than those that didn’t receive the psychedelic. Additionally, the rats that received DMT were observed to recover motor function a lot faster and better than those that didn’t receive the medicine. The team hopes that the same results can be replicated in humans.

One major challenge makes stroke treatment difficult. Strokes are primarily of two types: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic strokes occur when a blood clot blocks a vessel leading to a certain part of the brain, and this is best treated by administering a blood thinner.

On the other hand, blood thinners could be fatal in a patient who has had a hemorrhagic stroke, since they would be bleeding from a burst blood vessel. Blood thinners would worsen the bleeding, thereby putting the life of the patient in grave danger.

To determine which course of treatment to take, a CT scan has to be done to establish the type of stroke. Waiting for the results of such a test can take hours, creating a bigger window for brain damage to occur.

The Vancouver team hopes that if its smaller trial brings positive outcomes, they will be able to apply for breakthrough therapy classification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Such a classification means that the regulator will work with the company to complete the regulatory process before the remedy can be approved for clinical use.

Stroke victims have had few options for decades, and the prospects of this potential psychedelic treatment could revolutionize treatment options.

Still in Canada, XPhyto Therapeutics Corp. (CSE: XPHY) (OTCQB: XPHYF) (FSE: 4XT) has entered an agreement to produce psilocybin on a large scale for the development of psychedelic medicines.

$TOBAF Beyond Tobacco: TAAT Innovation Delivers New Smoking Alternative

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: An estimated 17% of the world, or 1.3 billion people, use tobacco, creating a global tobacco market that approached one trillion dollars in 2020. Given all of the health risks associated with smoking, a significant portion of those tobacco users are looking for other smoking options, alternative that offer a smooth and satisfying tobacco-free and nicotine-free experience that tastes as well as or better than traditional tobacco products. For many, eliminating nicotine is a priority. Addressing this problem head on and carving out a new market niche, TAAT(TM) Lifestyle & Wellness Ltd. (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQB: TOBAF) (Profile) recently launched TAAT, a nicotine-free and tobacco-free cigarette, available in three flavors: Original, Smooth and Menthol. The retail launch included a comprehensive unveil in Ohio, and an e-commerce site went live last week. The company is reshaping the smoking experience by offering a smokable alternative. TAAT is looking to grab significant shelf space alongside the big tobacco oligopoly of Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM), Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO) and British American Tobacco Industries p.l.c. ADR (NYSE: BTI) as well as Chinese vaping giant RLX Technology Inc (NYSE: RLX).

  • TAAT looking to capture a sizeable share of the $100-plus billion U.S. tobacco market.
  • The Beyond Tobacco(TM) base material undergoes patented 14-step refining process to taste, smell and smoke like tobacco.
  • TAAT CEO Setti Coscarella, CRO Tim Corkum bring decades of tobacco industry experience after serving in leadership roles at Marlboro maker Philip Morris.
  • TAAT has recently been named to CSE25(TM) as one of the biggest CSE Composite Index companies by market capitalization.

Bringing a Substitution Model to Smoking

Health and wellness has become a top priority in today’s world, creating a global climate of consumers clamoring for choices that offer the same experiences they’ve come to enjoy but with different ingredients. This is on full display with the surging popularity of alternative food and beverages that create the same feeling that one is accustomed with only a change in ingredients. Today, burgers and seafood look, smell and taste like hamburger and crabmeat, respectively, while being made from plants. Zero percent alcohol wine and beer that cut out traditional ingredients such as gluten are so refined that they can fool even the most discerning palates of alcohol connoisseurs.

That same sentiment is carrying over to the world of tobacco, where enthusiastic adult smokers are eagerly looking for different options. Many want tobacco-free and nicotine-free alternatives; however, they also seem to prefer the sensation and experience of a combustible product.

Same Format, Different Ingredients Model

TAAT Lifestyle & Wellness Ltd. (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQB: TOBAF) has brought the “same format, different ingredients” model to the smoking market like no one before. With senior leadership coming directly from big tobacco, the life sciences company has developed its products to closely replicate a conventional tobacco cigarette while changing the composition so it doesn’t include tobacco.

Based on consumer response, TAAT hits its target dead center. Early market testing revealed no significant experiential differences between TAAT and tobacco cigarettes. That response speaks volumes as TAAT looks to capture a sizeable share of the $100-plus billion U.S. tobacco market.

Furthermore, the company is using an attractive pricing structure to offer a substantial consumer savings compared to top-selling tobacco cigarettes. As TAAT embarks on a nationwide launch after commencing sales in Ohio late in December 2020, management has engaged a leading consumer packaged goods sales agency to accelerate brick-and-mortar retail sales while online sales are generated through a brand-new online portal.

Meticulously Crafted, Perfectly Priced

The Beyond Tobacco(TM) base material of TAAT undergoes a 14-step process to taste, smell and smoke just like tobacco, which includes a patent-pending refinement process. In doing so, TAAT touches the all-important five sensory elements of a smoking tobacco cigarette. This includes nearly identical packaging and smoke volume (visual), crackling sound upon lighting (auditory), a tobacco-like scent while burning (smell), and “hand-to-mouth” motor habits (touch). Ashes can even be “flicked” in a similar manner to tobacco ashes. TAAT completes the sensory experience by using its patent-pending Beyond Tobacco base material to create a tobacco-like taste without using nicotine or tobacco.

The formulation provides a competitive edge over other types of tobacco alternatives currently available. Primarily, it appeals to current smokers aged 21 years and older who are looking to keep the experiences they enjoy while leaving the nicotine behind. Even better, smokers aged 21+ who switch to TAAT are not replacing one nicotine product with another, as is often the case with alternatives such as vaping.

In addition, while the packaging and smoking experience may be nearly the same as a tobacco cigarette, the price point for TAAT’s product offering is far different. A pack of TAAT is priced at $3.99 in Ohio, approximately a 43% savings from a pack of Marlboro, which costs about $7.00 per pack.

Marketing Blitz and Expansion

While meticulous and methodical in its development, TAAT is starting to hit the gas in expansion. Subsequent to its December launch in Ohio, TAAT initiated a 60-day, digital, out-of-home (DooH) advertising campaign composed of video ads streaming on thousands of video screens on gasoline pumps across a network of chain and independent gas stations in Ohio; the videos promoting TAAT products target smokers aged 21 and older. The “out-of-home” video ads are running concurrently with other promotional initiatives targeting legal-aged smokers, including a digital marketing campaign for the TryTAAT landing page.

In just two months of being sold at retail, the brand is gaining traction as evidenced by 60% of retailers that have carried TAAT for three or more weeks placing at least one reorder, with many reorders increasing in volume. The Menthol variety was the first to be sold out and reordered during its first weeks of availability in Ohio. The TryTAAT campaign is also being warmly received, considering that one-third of all visitors to the page had submitted requests for a sample pack of TAAT, representing an exceptionally high conversion rate by industry standards.

This month, TAAT engaged CROSSMARK Inc., a Texas-based omnichannel sales agency with more than 25,000 employees serving all of North America. TAAT will leverage CROSSMARK’s existing relationships with more than 100,000 convenience retailers directly serviced by the firm to potentially expand availability of TAAT products in Ohio and elsewhere in the United States. The new relationship dovetails perfectly with TAAT’s launch of its new ecommerce website this month, which sold more than CAD $50,000 of product in its first 48 hours.

Tobacco Industry Acumen

TAAT has assembled a world-class management team with diverse experience deeply rooted in the tobacco industry. CEO Setti Coscarella not only spent years working in private equity and banking, he was also a lead strategist for Reduced-Risk Products (“RRP”) in Canada for international cigarette behemoth Philip Morris International where he developed deep expertise in commercializing smoking alternatives.

TAAT chief revenue officer Tim Corkum also has a long history in tobacco, working various senior roles involving sales, supply chain management and commercialization during his 21 years at Philip Morris across Canada and in the Caribbean.

Under this leadership, TAAT has raised capital and organized for expansion by doubling production capacity and filing trademarks in 54 countries. In October, TAAT received $5 million in a private placement from a group of investors led by Debbie Chang, co-founder of Horizons Ventures (in her personal capacity), a Hong Kong-based venture capital firm. As management evaluates domestic and international commercialization, the company optimized its Las Vegas, Nevada, processing facility with automated workflows and adding new machinery to efficiently increase production Beyond Tobacco base material by 100%.

These efforts and leadership have not gone unrecognized. TAAT share price has appreciated substantially, including a big jump in September that led to TAAT being added to two Canadian stock indices in December 2020 including the CSE Composite Index as well as its CSE25(TM) index, an exclusive subset featuring the 25 largest companies in the index by market capitalization.

Market Opportunity

With hundreds of millions of people around the world smoking cigarettes and many aspiring to leave nicotine behind, a huge opportunity exists for savvy companies ready to seize the moment. Even with the negative effects of vaping being fleshed out as the market matures, Grand View Research still sees 23.8% growth in the space from 2020 to 2027, ultimately reaching a projected $67.3 billion.

Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM), maker of Marlboro, Virginia Slims and some of the world’s most popular cigarette brands, made the decision in 2016 to transform its business, moving away from combustible products to smoke-free ways to deliver nicotine. The company set a goal of getting 40 million of its customers to quit smoking by 2025, of which it touted making substantial progress in a 2019 report showing a reduction in cigarette shipments and a rise in shipments of its smoke-free products.

PM parent company Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO) has a 10-year vision to lead the transition of adult smokers to a noncombustible future. The company is the owner of highly popular smokeless tobacco brands such as Copenhagen and Skoal, in addition to a large stake in Juul Labs, a top-selling e-cigarette brand in the United States. Altria is also a large shareholder in Cronos, which it believes it can help position in the legal cannabis market as part of encouraging consumers to move beyond smoking to potentially reduced harm alternatives.

British American Tobacco Industries p.l.c. ADR (NYSE: BTI), which makes Camel and Newport cigarettes and Grizzly smokeless tobacco, has also focused some R&D and marketing on less-risky products to give its customers more options, including its Vuse (vapor), glo (tobacco heating) and Velo (nicotine pouch) products. In the company’s 2018 Harm Reduction Focus Report, BAT lays out its commitment to support consumer use of what are labeled PRRPs, o potentially reduced-risk products.

RLX Technology Inc. (NYSE: RLX) made a big splash with its initial public offering in January, bumping up its IPO price from $8 per share to $12 per share before opening at $22.34 as investors jumped headlong into the Chinese vaping company. Ultimately, the company jumped 86% in its U.S. stock market debut, giving the Chinese vaping firm a market capitalization of nearly $35 billion. While RLX Technology sells products in 13 countries, its bread and butter is China, where it controls 62% of the market with only a 1.2% penetration rate.

With smokers aged 21 and above looking for alternatives that provide the pleasure of smoking without the nicotine or tobacco, the tobacco industry is clearly showing an interest in widening its reach and providing choices to its consumers.

$EXN EV Sector Driving Force Behind Responsible Mineral Sourcing, Mining

The ocean waters that surround Papua New Guinea and Eastern Indonesia lie in a biodiverse Coral Triangle, which is home to some of the world’s most highly endangered and concentrated coral reefs. Apart from being internationally significant ecological sites, these reefs are also habitats for a few vital subsistence and commercial fisheries, which are crucial to the lives of the local communities.

At the same time, the area, which is rich in nickel deposits, is attracting the attention of manufacturers of electric vehicles worldwide. Reason being, electric vehicles rely on batteries that contain minerals such as cobalt, lithium and nickel.

The global demand for nickel is expected to grow nearly six times by the year 2030. This would explain why Indonesia, which is currently the biggest producer of nickel globally, is trying to significantly increase nickel production in order to meet the demand.

To do so, however, mining firms would have to find a different way to mine that would not include the disposal of mine waste, known as tailings, in the sea. For years, this pollution problem has affected Indonesia’s mining industry. Indonesians have been against this practice, quoting evidence that the tailings would strain fisheries and eliminate fragile reefs, which are already being affected by the coal plants that are currently used to power existing operations.

Last year, Tesla CEL Elon Musk vowed to award a huge contract to any company that could find a way to source nickel in both an environmentally sensitive and efficient way. Earlier this year, Tesla presented an investment proposal to the government of Indonesia. It’s safe to say it went well because the next day, the nation reported that new mining projects would not be allowed to discard waste into the ocean.

This move by Tesla demonstrates the power that companies have to demand only minerals that have been sourced responsibly to be used in their products. Companies must use this power to ensure that the road to a clean energy economy isn’t filled with human rights abuses and mine waste.

Any companies that have plans to make profit off of clean technology must therefore utilize their market power to ensure that the mined materials utilized in their products are responsibly sourced, whether it’s lithium from Argentina, cobalt from the Democratic Republic of Congo or nickel from Indonesia.

Doing this provides can provide companies with a marketing edge. And with pressure increasing from investors and consumers to make sure that mineral sourcing for low-carbon technologies and EV batteries, in particular, is as responsible as possible, other companies are bound to follow.

Meanwhile, many mining companies are well positioned for success in the years and decades to come. An example of one such company is Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: EXN) (NYSE American: EXN) (FSE: E4X2), which is the holder of an enviable option to acquire the Silver City Project located in Germany. Historical records show that this location possesses enticing potential, with previous high-grade yields of 1kg. of silver for each ton of ore extracted.

$BRSF Researchers Document Small Window Within Which Stroke Recovery Is Highest

In a groundbreaking study, two teams of researchers — one based at the University of South Australia in Adelaide and another in London — have shown that stroke recovery peaks at approximately two weeks after the stroke and then gradually diminishes with the passage of time.

The teams at Adelaide and London followed a total of 60 patients who had had a stroke. This follow-up lasted up to 12 months after the stroke.

Dr. Brenton Hordacre, based at the University of South Australia in Adelaide and also the lead author of the study, explained that this multisite study was intended to find out whether what was observed in animal studies could also be witnessed in human stroke survivors.

The team conducted scans on the brains of the victims using continuous transcranial brain stimulation (“cTBS”) to repeatedly activate different hemispheres of the victims’ motor cortex. The intention was to track brain plasticity in the victims. The laboratory in Adelaide focused on measuring plasticity within the damaged hemisphere of the motor cortex while the laboratory in London focused on the intact hemisphere of the motor cortex. This intact side is vital because it plays an important role in the recovery of the patient. Their assessments revealed that brain plasticity was at its highest 14 days post-stroke within the cortex that didn’t suffer any damage.

The lead author asserts that their findings confirm how important it is to initiate therapy immediately after someone has suffered a stroke.

The latest evidence shows that at the moment, a maximum of  eight minutes is devoted each day to helping stroke victims recover function in their upper limbs in the first four weeks after a stroke. The research team believes that the treatment outcomes can be improved if more time is devoted to therapy within this window, as the chance of recovery decreases as time passes after the two-week mark.

Hordacre says more study and research needs to be done, despite the groundbreaking findings that they obtained in their study, which was published early this month. For example, he points out that attention needs to be directed towards identifying the specific therapy techniques that have the capacity to extend or even reopen the period when brain plasticity remains high after one has had a stroke. Such techniques have the potential to make full recovery a possibility, even in people who have suffered a severe stroke.

Many companies are currently investing significant resources in identifying conditions that affect the brain, such as Brain Scientific Inc. (OTCQB: BRSF). With a mission of modernizing brain diagnostics, Brain Scientific develops innovative and proprietary medical devices and software.
