Lily Introduces YUZU Flavor

Drink Lily

Lily, the emerging New York-based beverage brand, knows non-alcoholic consumers want something more than just a seltzer and lime. This pushed them to create their latest offering, the vibrant and tart new flavor harnessing the adaptogenic power of the Egyptian Water Lily, YUZU. Starting today, Lily YUZU will launch on the brand’s website and will be available to ship directly to Lily fans nationwide. Lily’s Latinx co-founder, Isaac Lliguin, who oversees testing of the brand’s flavors, sought to create something memorable for consumers resulting in this anxiety soothing and mood enhancing beverage. The result is a complex, zesty blend with a tart citrus burst accompanying every sip. “Our first flavor, BLOOD ORANGE, was designed to be sweet and refreshing, while YUZU is for those pallets who prefer a sharp crisp taste that grabs their attention,” says Lliguin. “We had to blend the zestiness of this Japanese citrus with subtle notes of apricot, to get the balance right with the unique flavor of our star ingredient: the Egyptian Water Lily.” There’s more than just flavor to get excited about here. Lily’s YUZU formula contains adaptogens, nootropics, and antioxidants designed to support a healthy lifestyle, keeping Lily’s brand mission to support comprehensive wellness in mind. With only 35 calories, 7 grams of sugar, and no artificial ingredients, each can is something you can feel good about. Bursting with refreshing zest and brightness, this invigorating blend features Yuzu, mood-boosting Egyptian Water Lily, soothing Ashwagandha, and energizing Green Tea. After their inaugural flavor, BLOOD ORANGE, sold out just 5 months after launch, Lily is excited to announce an exclusive deal with New York City based NA distributor, Tristate Zero Proof. All Lily’s are sold in a 12 fl. oz. aluminum can with a suggested retail price of $5.00/unit in stores and $108 for a 24-unit case via e-commerce. “I’ve always loved drinks that give your taste buds a complex sensory experience. With each sip of YUZU you’ll be greeted by that invigorating citrus zing” says Lliguin. “We were shocked by how quickly our first flavor sold out, and even more so, by the demand for more flavors and we are excited to bring this addition to offer more versatility to our customers.” Lily is a sparkling non-alcoholic functional beverage infused with powerful adaptogens and nootropics, designed to give you a guilt-free energy boost and a clean buzz. Lily was created for all of life's situations—whether it's soothing anxiety before a big meeting, boosting energy before a workout class, or providing a light buzz during a night out with friends. Its unique extraction process places Lily as the sole beverage in the market utilizing the calming and mood-enhancing properties of the Egyptian Water Lily. Lily is sold online at www.drinklily.com and in select retailers in the New York metropolitan area.

AI's Promise On Display: BEN Collaborates With SAIL, Of Weill Cornell Medical Center, To Explore AI For Training Doctors, Improving Patient Outcomes

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga AI is taking off and that’s not lost on Brand Engagement Network Inc. (NASDAQ: BNAI) investors. The maker of AI assistants and avatars just closed a private placement, raising $4.95 million from a group of existing investors. That gives BEN the firepower to continue to develop its AI assistants in-house and through buys. With its human-like AI assistants, BEN is improving businesses’ customer service, productivity and performance, going after markets with a massive workforce gap and an opportunity to transform how consumers engage with networks, providers and brands. The company’s secret sauce is a broad portfolio of conversational AI applications that drive better customer experience, increased automation and operational efficiencies. Take its virtual adherence assistant for the healthcare industry as one example. BEN says its conversational AI can improve patient experiences and medication understanding, leading to better outcomes. Or its “Remember Me” technology which syncs digital and physical interactions for an integrated, personalized customer experience. Investor Show Of Confidence Those advances and many others the company has made since launching its U.S. business in 2018 underpin the why of the recent deal with its existing investors. “The private placement represents a powerful vote of confidence in our strategy from our board, executive team and our existing investors,” said Chairman Chris Gaertner. “This investment will allow BEN to continue to fund its business plan as it seeks to execute on its growth and revenue strategies.” The investment comes as the AI market is taking off, as new use cases validate this transformational technology. The AI market is forecast to soar to $1.3 trillion in the years to come, growing at a CAGR of 42% over the next decade. Rising demand for generative AI products could add about $280 billion of new software revenue, driven by specialized assistants, new infrastructure products and copilots that accelerate coding. Not only did the investors double down on BEN, but they were willing to do so at a premium, purchasing warrants and stock at $2.50 a share – materially above where shares were trading at the time. Some of the investors agreed to provide BEN with additional capital through the exercise of their warrants if the company is unable to raise an additional $3.25 million by October 31, bringing the total investment to $8.25 million. That gives BEN a lot of capital to use to strike up partnerships and make buys. Deep Management Bench It's an area that Michael Zacharski, now co-CEO of BEN after the promotion of Paul Chang to the newly created role of co-CEO, will head up. Zacharski has more than 15 years of experience in the tech industry, making a name for himself for his ability to drive growth, optimize operations and spearhead M&A. “This is a pivotal time for the AI industry, and we’re excited about the prospect of partnering with organizations that complement our vision and capabilities,” said Zacharski. “I am excited to focus on furthering the company’s M&A strategy, which we believe will be core to our business strategy moving forward.” Chang, who has been global president since May 2023, will oversee commercial operations as co-CEO, focusing on validating the market and growing the business commercially. Chang spent 18 years at IBM (NYSE: IBM) creating new markets for emerging technologies as well as several start-ups. “I am thrilled to take on the role of co-CEO,” said Chang. “As we transition into delivering value to our customers by commercializing our safe and comprehensive Gen AI Platform, BEN is well positioned both financially and technologically to execute our plans. With our unique design and architecture as well as portfolio of patents, we hope to demonstrate to the market that our AI Assistants are ready to contribute to businesses in areas that can increase CX, help to complete tasks and fuel their growth.” Rounding out the C-Suite at BEN is Chief Financial Officer Bill Willams. Williams brings over twenty years of experience in corporate finance, legal, technology and management consulting to BEN. He is an expert in driving growth, innovation and value creation for emerging growth companies. AI is taking off, and BEN wants to be a leader in helping businesses streamline operations and enhance customer service with this transformational technology. With fresh cash in its coffers and the backing of a supportive board and investors, BEN seems like an AI story to follow. Featured photo by Steve Johnson on Unsplash.

Elicio Therapeutics Unveils Promising Phase 1a Data For ELI-002 7P In mKRAS Tumors

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga Elicio Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ELTX) has announced that preliminary data from their AMPLIFY-7P Phase 1a Study of ELI-002 7P in patients with mKRAS-driven solid tumors was well tolerated with T cell responses correlating with a reduction in tumor biomarkers at the recommended Phase 2 dose (“RP2D”). Elicio Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing innovative lymph node-targeted immunotherapies to treat aggressive cancers. Given the firm’s expertise in materials science, immunology and oncology, it plans to forge a new path forward for cancer treatment by utilizing its diverse capabilities to fulfill its mission of amplifying the potential of immunotherapies, empowering patients to fight cancer with full force. The initial findings from its study are encouraging, given that KRAS mutated cancers are difficult to target in part due to the number of diverse mutations and bypass resistance mechanisms. “We are encouraged by the first data from the ongoing AMPLIFY-7P trial, which demonstrate ELI-002 7P has a favorable safety profile and early antitumor effects that correlate with induction of T cells specific for multiple KRAS mutations potentially providing broader coverage for patients, said Craig E. Devoe, M.D., MHCM., chief of the Division of Medical Oncology & Hematology and the R.J. Zuckerberg Cancer Center, and scientific investigator at Northwell Health. Elicio Therapeutics Pipeline Elicio Therapeutics’ lead product candidate, ELI-002, is a structurally novel investigational Amphiphile (AMP) cancer vaccine that targets cancers that are driven by mutations in the mKRAS-gene — a prevalent driver of many human cancers. ELI-002 is comprised of two powerful components that are built with Elicio Therapeutics’ AMP technology, consisting of AMP-modified mutant KRAS peptide antigens and an AMP-modified CpG adjuvant that is available as an off-the-shelf subcutaneous administration. ELI-002 2P (2 peptide formulation) is currently being studied in an ongoing Phase 1 (AMPLIFY-201) trial in patients with high relapse risk mKRAS-driven solid tumors following surgery and chemotherapy. ELI-002 7P (7 peptide formulation) is being studied in a Phase 1/2 (AMPLIFY-7P) trial in patients with mKRAS-driven pancreatic cancer. The ELI-002 7P formulation is designed to provide immune response coverage against seven of the most common KRAS mutations(G12D, G12R, G12V, G12A, G12C, G12S and G13D) present in 25% of all solid tumors, thereby increasing the potential patient population for ELI-002. Compelling Results From The Ongoing AMPLIFY-7P Phase 1a Study The company reports that the efficacy of ELI-002 7P as a treatment solution was successful in several instances, demonstrating the versatility of the drug and its ability to provide a strong T cell response. The preliminary data findings from the ongoing AMPLIFY-7P Phase 1a Study of ELI-002 7P include: ELI-002 7P administered as a monotherapy was well tolerated and able to generate a ~100x mKRAS-specific expanded T cell response relative to baseline levels ELI-002 7P generated an mKRAS-specific T cell response in 100% of patients including responses targeting all mKRAS mutations enrolled (G12D, V, R and G13D) mKRAS-specific T cells were polyfunctional with 66.7% (4/6) of evaluable patients having both CD8+ and CD4+ responses at the 4.9 mg Phase 2 dose level Tumor biomarker reductions were observed in 5/7 (71%) of evaluable patients at the 4.9 mg Phase 2 dose level ELI-002 7P was shown to induce antigen-spreading with increased T cell responses targeting non-immunizing, personalized tumor neoantigens in 6/6 (100%) of evaluable patients at the 4.9 mg Phase 2 dose level In speaking about these findings, Christopher Haqq, MD, PhD, executive vice president, head of Research and Development and chief medical officer at Elicio Therapeutics, stated, “These early immunogenicity and biomarker response data from ELI-002 7P continue to provide encouraging results showing that our lymph node-targeted approach generates a robust and differentiated T cell response that strongly correlates with tumor biomarker reductions.” “Across two trials, ELI-002 has demonstrated an ability to generate a robust T cell response against all mKRAS mutations of enrolled patients as well as T cell responses against non-immunizing personalized tumor neoantigens. ELI-002’s broader KRAS mutation coverage and higher T cell responses with the 7-peptide vaccine at the Phase 2 dose holds promise for the high unmet need of patients with KRAS-mutated tumors,” Haqq said. The AMPLIFY-7P Phase 1a Study data findings of ELI-002 7P were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, held from May 31 to June 4, 2024, in Chicago, IL. The ASCO Annual Meeting is considered the premier international forum for presenting scientific research and state-of-the-art education in clinical oncology. The five-day event attracts 30,000 attendees from around the world. An Immunotherapeutics Company Founded as a spin-out from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Elicio Therapeutics leverages the research of Professor Darrell Irvine, a Howard Hughes Investigator and expert in biomedical engineering and immunology. The company's main innovation, the Amphiphile (AMP) platform, delivers immunotherapeutics directly to the body’s lymph nodes to enhance the immune system's cancer-fighting mechanisms. By delivering cancer immunotherapies to the center of the immune response, Elicio Therapeutics intends to optimize the natural ability of the lymph nodes to educate, activate, and amplify cancer-specific T cells. Elicio Therapeutics' mission is to give patients battling cancer the best possible outcome. The firm’s leadership and scientific advisory board are composed of determined and experienced individuals who are committed to engineering lymph node–targeted immunomodulators, adjuvants, and vaccines for an array of aggressive cancers. The Path Forward Elicio Therapeutics’ recent findings are encouraging news and a tailwind for the firm’s innovation activities. Given the applicability of ELI-002 7P in treating patients with differing cancers, this is a milestone moment for Elicio Therapeutics and an encouraging step forward in the firm’s research and development and eventual commercialization of its treatment offering. As such, the benefit that Elicio Therapeutics provides and the value proposition the firm espouses could continue to grow and have increased industry resonance. Featured photo by CDC on Unsplash.

In A Show Of Confidence For OneMeta's AI Technology, Microsoft Adds Verbum For Teams To Its App Stores

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga OneMeta Inc. (OTCQB: ONEI), the AI-powered translation and transcription services company, is making strides in removing language barriers for businesses and consumers. The company recently announced its Verbum for Microsoft Teams was added to all of Microsoft Corp.’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) app stores, including Teams Store, Microsoft AppSource and directly via the Azure Marketplace. That’s a big deal for Bountiful, Utah-based OneMeta, which is busy churning out advanced technology that translates and transcribes spoken and written words in seconds across multiple languages. Being added to the Microsoft app stores validates OneMeta’s technology and gives it access to a larger potential customer base. After all, over one million businesses use Teams, including 91% of Fortune 100 companies. “Since OneMeta achieved Microsoft co-sell-ready status, we have seen significant interest from customers who want to apply the Verbum software to their usage of Microsoft Teams in the 140+ languages we offer,” said Saul Leal, CEO of OneMeta. “The certification by Microsoft brings confidence to our clients and to the great work that OneMeta is pioneering in the space. We can bring our AI for translation and transcription to all enterprises without compromising privacy, compliance, and data security.” Crashing Language Barriers Thanks to the internet, businesses big and small are increasingly global. Whether customers are based around the globe or employees are living in far-flung corners of the world, being able to communicate regardless of their language is key to growing and thriving. It's why the AI translation and transcription industry is growing. In 2023, the global natural language processing market was valued at $24.10 billion. By 2032, it is expected to reach $158.04 billion, growing at a CAGR of 23.2% during the forecast period. OneMeta wants to be a leading player in the space, translating in near real-time whether users are attending a live event, participating in an online meeting, or talking on the phone. Thanks to its proprietary NLP technology, the company specializes in breaking down linguistic barriers in a multilingual world. It ensures fast and accurate translations and transcriptions. OneMeta recently reduced the translation and transcription speed of over 150 languages and dialects to less than 200 milliseconds. Augmenting Microsoft Teams While Microsoft Teams provides live captioning capabilities in various languages, OneMeta said Verbum enhances that by delivering simultaneous interpretation across over 140 languages by harnessing state-of-the-art AI. With Verbum for Teams, multilingual groups can truly come together in meetings. Each attendee chooses the language they are speaking in and the language they want to see captions and chat in. As each person speaks in their preferred language from a list of 95+ languages, it is translated in near real-time for the rest of the group. OneMeta says Verbum for Teams is meticulously designed for seamless integration with Microsoft Teams to ensure all participants in video conferences and collaborative engagements can interact smoothly, transcending language barriers. That can empower organizations to cultivate more inclusive and engaging interactions, augmenting the inherent functionalities of Microsoft Teams and expanding the scope of communication possibilities while maintaining an optimal user experience, said OneMeta. "Now that Verbum for Teams is available on the Teams store, AppSource Marketplace, the Azure Marketplace, and the Microsoft Certification has been published, we expect to see Verbum's adoption and growth by organizations that need multi-language translation and transcription,” Alessandro Balzarelli, Director at Microsoft Industry Solutions Engineering, said. “Verbum empowers Microsoft Teams users to be more efficient and more inclusive within their own organizations and with their own customers."
