Longeveron (NASDAQ: LGVN) Making Inroads With Lomecel-B™ – Biotech’s Investigational Alzheimer’s Treatment Shows Positive Trial Results

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Longeveron Inc. (NASDAQ: LGVN), a clinical-stage biotech company aiming to slow the effects of life-threatening and chronic aging-related conditions using cellular therapies, is making inroads with Lomecel-B™, its investigational treatment for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), Alzheimer’s disease and aging-related frailty. On October 5th, the Miami-based biotech announced that Lomecel-B™ met its primary safety endpoint and showed a lack of deterioration in cognitive or atrophy signals in approximately 50 patients aged 60 to 85 years old with mild Alzheimer’s disease, marking a major milestone for the company. The successful trial paves the way for more clinical studies of this potentially game-changing treatment. “We believe these results provide important validation of both the safety and therapeutic potential of Lomecel-B™ in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and provide a robust foundation for additional clinical trials in this and other indications,” Wa’el Hashad, CEO of Longeveron, said announcing the trial results. In late December, the company released additional new clinical and biomarker results from the trial that reinforced the earlier top-line findings. Additional analysis of cognitive function and daily living data showed favorable results with Lomecel-B™ over placebo. The drug was shown to slow and in some cases improve certain measurements of cognitive function (MoCA, MMSE). Funding Development In addition to reporting promising results for Lomecel-B™, in October 2023, Longeveron secured $4 million in gross proceeds before expenses from a round of equity financing. In late December, Longeveron closed a previously announced registered direct offering of 1.35 million shares priced at $1.62 per share, raising an additional $2.36 million in gross proceeds. Longeveron plans to use the net proceeds to fund the ongoing clinical and regulatory development of Lomecel-B™ and for capital expenditures, working capital, and general corporate purposes. The company reported that as of the end of the third quarter, it has enough existing cash and short-term investments to cover expenses and capital requirements into the first quarter of 2024. Investor Aspirations And Stock Trend Some investors are hopeful that Lomecel-B™ could possibly play a role in the future in treating Alzheimer’s disease, which affects about 6.7 million people 65 and older in the U.S. In 2023 alone, Alzheimer’s and other dementias will cost the U.S. $345 billion, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. By 2050, total payments for healthcare, long-term care and hospice for those with dementia are projected to reach nearly $1 trillion. Lomecel-B™ appears to target inflammation, and it is believed that inflammation plays a role in the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers made this discovery after several studies showed that people who took anti-inflammatory drugs like Enbrel and Humira were as much as 50% less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease later in life. These discoveries have in part helped to spur a new class of investigational drugs that aim to treat and cure Alzheimer’s disease by targeting inflammation. Lomecel-B™ is made from medical signaling cells (MSCs) derived from the bone marrow of healthy adult donors. It is believed that these cells travel to sites of damage or inflammation in the body and promote cellular regeneration and repair. More Potential Catalysts On The Horizon? Lomecel-B™ as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s isn’t the only possible catalyst on the horizon for Longeveron, and investors may want to watch for more to come. The therapeutic treatment is also in stage 2 trials to treat Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and Aging-related frailty. HLHS is a rare pediatric congenital heart defect that affects about 1,000 babies in the U.S. annually. The left side of the heart fails to develop in patients with HLHS – leading to short-term mortality, delayed development and long-term organ failure. Lomecel-B™ is administered directly into the cardiac tissue of the right ventricle for HLHS patients. The goal is to improve cardiac function through the regenerative, pro-vascular and anti-inflammatory effects of MSCs. Results from a phase 1 ELPIS 1 trial showed 100% survival in Lomecel-B™-treated children at up to five years of age. Historically, children with HLHS have about 20% mortality by five years. The results were encouraging enough for Lomecel-B™ to be given the Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPD), Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and Fast Track Designation from the FDA. A phase 2 trial in HLHS of 38 patients is currently underway. In August, the trial surpassed the 50% enrollment threshold. The company is also in a phase 2 trial of Lomecel-B™ to treat aging-related frailty, which is characterized by mobility disability, weakness, fatigue, weight loss, slowness and low activity. Its current phase 2 trial will include 45 patients in Japan, where nearly a third of the population is over 65. “With our Phase 2 ELPIS II trial in HLHS moving toward anticipated completion in 2024, and our Phase 2 program in Aging-related frailty progressing in Japan as well, we look forward to meaningful milestones in the near term and to fully realizing the therapeutic potential of Lomecel-B™,” said Hashad.

Cannara Biotech Q1 Results: Revenue, Net Income And Market Share Up, Quarter Also Marks Company’s First Export Sale

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga With the demand for high-quality, affordably priced cannabis growing in Canada, Cannara Biotech Inc.'s (OTCMKTS: LOVFF) investments seem to be paying off. The vertically integrated producer of premium-grade cannabis and derivative product offerings has used investment dollars to produce quality cannabis products and increase the number of growing zones. That has resulted in Montreal-based Cannara Biotech reporting record-setting revenue for its first quarter and forecast even more growth to come in 2024. For the first quarter ending November 30, 2023, Cannara posted net revenue of $19.5 million, an 89% year-over-year increase and net income of $2.1 million, up significantly from $2,954 in the year-ago first quarter. Meanwhile, gross profit before fair value adjustments of $7.9 million was up 98% from the year-ago first quarter and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $5.2 million marked a 206% increase. “Our first quarter results are continued solid proof of Cannara's strong financial health and strategic approach to business operations,” Nicholas Sosiak, CFO of Cannara said when reporting quarterly results. ”We have seen impressive sales increases and a steady rise in adjusted EBITDA, net income and cash flow from operations, which sets a strong base for the rest of the year.” Quality Cannabis At An Affordable Price Since launching in 2017, Cannara Biotech has been focused on growing quality cannabis products and bringing them to the masses at an affordable price. The company operates two huge facilities spanning over 1,650,000 square feet in Quebec, where it churns out quality cannabis products en masse using its access to low-priced utilities in the province and lean operational structure to keep costs down. It then passes on those savings to its legions of customers. During the first quarter, the company produced from nine growing zones out of its Valleyfield Facility with a 10th growing zone added in January. All told, the company has increased its total production to about 33,500 kg of cannabis per year. That should be welcome news to its investors given sales of cannabis products in Canada are projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.4% between 2021 and 2030. Underscoring that demand, Cannara said it sold 1.34 million units across its three flagship brands during the first quarter, up 99% from the 675,000 units sold in the same period a year ago. Quarter-over-quarter units sold were up 11%. The variety of its product line is also increasing, which could drive sales further in 2024. During the quarter it increased its total national product portfolio of cannabis products by 60% to 155 SKUs from 97. It is innovating in new categories including infused pre-rolls, milled flower and budget-friendly vapes. Market Share Gains Along with an increase in sales during the quarter were market share gains, a key metric given it’s difficult to stand out in the market thanks to climates that make it hard to grow the product, regulatory hurdles and high start-up costs. In Quebec, Canada’s largest market for cannabis, Cannara is the fourth-largest licensed producer, controlling about 8.7% of the market as of the first quarter. In Ontario, it ranks as the ninth top producer and in Alberta, its market share has increased to 2.3% from 1.2% share in the year-earlier first quarter. In British Columbia, it's making inroads, with market share of just under 1%. The company is still at the beginning of its growth, with only 35% of its production capacity activated, and operates in only five main markets in Canada, resulting in many strategies in Cannara’s toolkit to potentially increase its revenues and market share quarter over quarter. Another milestone for Cannara during the first quarter: it completed its first intentional export sale of cannabis product to Israel. Not only does that showcase its ability to be an exporter, it highlights an additional potential revenue stream for the company. A Bright Future Ahead? Looking out to the remainder of 2024, the company plans to increase production capabilities and sales incentives, roll out new products including new formats, release new strains, increase market penetration and continue to post positive Adjusted EBITDA. It’s confident all of that should position it for solid results this year and beyond. "The first quarter of 2024 has been another significant period for Cannara, with record breaking net revenues of $19.5 million, an 89% increase from the comparative quarter in 2023, and an incredible net income surge,” Zohar Krivorot, President and Chief Executive Officer, said of the first quarter results. “As we build on this momentum in 2024, our roadmap is clear, continued execution with excellence, cost efficiencies and product innovation. This strategic expansion is not just about quantity, it is about deepening our market penetration by enriching our customers’ experience with high-quality products that stand out in the market. With a keen eye on evolving market trends and consumer preferences, we are committed to growing our market presence and product portfolio in a purposeful manner."

Startup Reduces Sugar In Natural Beverages Without Spoiling The Taste; Juice, Dairy Industries Could Be Ripe For BlueTree Technologies

OurCrowd

by Jeremy Ruden More than half of the global population – 51%, or over 4 billion people – will be obese by 2035, according to a 2023 report from the World Obesity Atlas. One of the major causes of obesity is sugar. While candy and carbonated drinks might be on many people’s radars as a primary source of sugar, natural beverages such as orange juice are also packed with it. With these health concerns in mind, scientists at startup BlueTree Technologies created proprietary technology that removes up to 50 percent of the sugar from juice and other natural beverages. BlueTree’s innovative method selectively removes a specific sugar molecule, preserving the beverages’ natural taste and health benefits. The company is now raising a funding round through OurCrowd, the global equity investment platform. “Our technology targets the disaccharides in the juice without harming the other ingredients,” says Yossi Sefi, BlueTree’s Chief Technical Officer. “It is capable of locating the exact kind of sugar in orange juice, for example, and removing it without harming the pulp, the vitamin C, the amino acids, or any other important ingredients.” In tests, half of those surveyed reported they preferred the flavor of orange juice with less sugar – while noticing no difference in the aroma and texture from the original. Successful Pilot The company, which was nurtured at the Fresh Start FoodTech incubator in northern Israel established by OurCrowd with Tnuva, Tempo and Finistere Ventures, has successfully adapted its technology for commercial applications. “We developed a turnkey platform that can be easily integrated into any manufacturing line,” says Michael Gordon, BlueTree’s CEO, who was formerly a senior director at Coca-Cola before joining the company. Gordon oversaw BlueTree’s first major deployment at a plant belonging to Priniv, one of the top three natural juice manufacturers in Israel. “It took us no more than two months to fully integrate our system and we did it without interfering with the plant’s overall operations,” Gordon says. BlueTree built all the equipment and the machinery for the Priniv installation in-house. The facility can now produce some 10,000 liters of orange juice daily, with up to 50% less sugar. BlueTree is poised for full-scale commercial production, with patents secured in the EU and Brazil, while awaiting approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. International beverage manufacturers and distributors, working to produce healthier products and avoid warning labels or progressive taxes on sugary drinks, are also showing a great deal of interest in BlueTree’s platform. The company signed an agreement with a leading international manufacturer, which it hopes will result in revenues of at least $6 million a year. It is also in advanced negotiations with other global producers in Italy and Spain and major juice manufacturers in Brazil and Thailand. One Platform The dairy industry is another target for BlueTree’s technology. Working together with a major local food manufacturer, the company produced a prototype that reduced the sugar in skimmed milk by some 75%. Commercialization plans are underway. The company also began an R&D project for beer with an international beverage manufacturer. The agreement forecasts the production of more than 200 million liters of reduced-sugar beer a year. “We can make the world better by reducing the sugar from all of nature’s liquids for all consumers,” Gordon says. “Our versatile tech could help curb the obesity crisis by cutting two teaspoons of sugar from children’s daily diet.” For more information about investing in BlueTree via OurCrowd, click HERE.

The cell sorting patent will be protected until November 2036 for the company's innovative cell selection and enrichment technology. This patent covers the production of IsletRx, the company's product for the treatment and potential cure for diabetes. The company's technology is unique with its ability to select and enrich only the highest functioning and purest islet cells from the population of differentiated islet-like cells which enables the maximum therapeutic effect. According to the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs, CNN and the pharmaletter India is a fastest growing economy of the global G20 with massive investments in web infrastructure and growing pharma and biotech sectors. As such biotech companies are increasingly securing their IP in India to ensure maximal potential revenues in the Indian subcontinent[1]. The approval of this patent in India is particularly important, especially in light of our collaboration project with iTolerance, a US company in the diabetes field and funded by the BIRD Foundation. The project combines Kadimastem’s and iTolerance’ s technologies to develop and commercialize a breakthrough regenerative technology to cure diabetes without the need for life-threatening chronic immuno-suppression. The project received a US $1Million grant from the BIRD Foundation for this project. Out of a total budget of US $2 Million In addition, according to statista in 2021, India was ranked second in the world with about 74.2 million diabetic adults in the 20 to 79 years old age group. The number of diabetic individuals was projected to increase to over 124 million in 2045[2]. In financial year 2021, the market size of diabetes and pre-diabetes care market in India was valued at about 17 billion U.S. dollars. It is forecasted to reach about 34 billion dollars in 2026 and 59 billion dollars in 2031[3].

Eat To Think: The Power of Nutrient-Dense Foods for Enhanced Cognitive Function!

YourUpdateTV

No one wants to slip into their later years with a failing memory or inability to think clearly and make decisions. Recently Peter Castleman, Author of “Eat to Think: Big Pharma Wants You to Take Pills Forever. We Don't.”, conducted a satellite media tour to share tips and advice on how to use nutritious food to help support your brain health and cognitive function. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/-jYERLSPs80 If you’re over 50, you’re most likely a part of the growing number of people who fear a gradual loss of brain function, otherwise known as cognitive decline or dementia. It’s normal to worry. But there is good news. Cognitive decline is mostly the result of lifestyle choices, not genetics. It is simply a story of “too little/too much “- too little of the nutrients your brain needs daily to maintain health and too much of the foods, drugs, and poor lifestyle choices that damage the brain. Nutrient Survival, the pioneering force in Special Ops Grade nutritional innovation, announces the launch of the book “ Eat to Think,” co-authored by Peter M. Castleman and B. Eric Christianson and available now on Amazon. The book explores the beauty of the brain and how it is designed to regenerate forever while empowering readers with Six Pillars of Brilliance to strengthen brain health and longevity. Both Christianson, CEO of Nutrient Survival, and Castleman, Chairman of Nutrient Institute, a non-profit dedicated to improving human nutrition, were spurred to write “Eat to Think” after researching the damage to human health created by common nutritional habits and an over dependence on “Big Pharma” to address health symptoms versus root issues. “In today’s society we have come to accept the inevitable degeneration of our brains and mental function, which does not need to be our fate,” insists Castleman. “Declining mental faculties with age is typically a product of ‘neuroinflammation,’ a process that gradually damages brain cells but can be reversed with proper nutrition. We have the power to regenerate our brain cells within literal reach of our pantries and refrigerators.” Much of the nutritional science and functional ingredients discussed in “Eat to Think'' are incorporated into Nutrient Survival’s newest BrainCare® product launch, the Brain Omega 3 Bar®. An all-natural solution to support brain performance, each Brain Omega 3 Bar® features a patent-pending combination of 1,948mg of Omega 3s, 40 essential nutrients including 27 vitamins and minerals, naturally occurring flavonoids and 8g of protein, all offering better bioavailability of ingredients to nourish both your brain and body. Brain Omega 3 Bar - Fig & Dark Chocolate contains sweet ripe figs, rich dark chocolate, and tart cranberry pieces. Brain Omega 3 Bar - Fig & Roasted Peanut offers ground peanut with sweet ripe figs, semi-sweet chocolate, and creamy peanut morsels. Both flavors are blended with rolled oats, organic rice crisps, milled flax and hemp seeds and feature the following: ● 1,948 mg of Omega 3 (EPA 430 mg + DHA 323 mg + ALA 1,160mg + SDA 35mg) ● 40 essential nutrients ● 27 vitamins and minerals ● 8g of protein including 1.5g of collagen ● Natural flavonoids from semi-sweet chocolate, figs and peanuts ● No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives ● Gluten free The Brain Omega 3 Bar® is available for $2.75 a bar in bags of 15 at nutrientsurvival.com. For more info on the book visit eattothink.com - About Nutrient Survival Nutrient Survival LLC is an end-to-end food technology company offering nutrient dense survival food for emergencies and every day.
