Senator Dave Cortese and Mothers’ Milk Bank California Announce Senate Resolution 20 Designating May as First-Ever California Human Milk Donation Month

The Mothers' Milk Bank

Senator Dave Cortese (District 15) and Mothers’ Milk Bank California announce State Resolution 20 to mark the official designation of May as the first-ever California Human Milk Donation Month to underscore the critical role of donor human milk in improving infant health outcomes and highlight the urgent need for increased access to this life-saving resource. A May 1 Senate floor session in Sacramento will announce this landmark resolution authored by Senators Dave Cortese and Senator Aisha Wahab with co-authors Senators Alvarado-Gil, Ashby, Blakespear, Caballero, Gonzalez, Hurtado, Limón, Pérez, Rubio, and Umberg. The designation of May as the first-ever California Human Milk Donation Month coincides with the release of The State of Human Milk Banking in California: a comprehensive report that provides critical insights into milk donation trends and statistics, the growing demand for pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM), and the evolving landscape of infant nutrition in California. With a growing demand for donor milk across the state, this call for additional donors will help meet the growing need for donor breast milk and expand access to human milk’s life-saving benefits for every premature and medically fragile infant that needs it. "Demand for pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) has increased worldwide, for both medically fragile infants in the NICU and those that still need support after a NICU discharge. Mothers Milk Bank California distributes PDHM to 60% of NICUs in California and elsewhere and has seen a 30% increase in demand for PDHM in the last year. Designating May as the first-ever California Human Milk Donation Month is designed to raise awareness about the life-saving power of donor human milk," said Jennifer Benito-Kowalski, CEO of Mothers’ Milk Bank California. "Every ounce can save a baby’s life. Only 2% of eligible donors in California are donating breast milk and 1 in 11 babies is born preterm and may need this resource. Let’s help ensure everyone knows how to donate this liquid gold.” “All infants should have access to the benefits of breast milk, one of the most cost-effective ways to improve overall public health. The unique properties of breast milk make it incredibly powerful in preventing the onset of serious diseases like Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) which can be deadly to preterm babies," said Senator Dave Cortese. "Donor recruitment is critical. In California, up to 99% of very preterm or very low birthweight babies use PDHM in the NICU. Yet the current donor pool meets under 75% of the increased demand,” said Senator Dave Cortese of District 15. Preterm or premature infants are the priority population in need of donor human milk. There are many reasons that an infant’s mother’s milk may be unavailable, including absence of the birth mother, the mother having certain diseases that can be transmitted to the baby, the mother requiring medications that may make breastfeeding unsafe, premature birth requiring hospitalization of the infant in the NICU, and lactation difficulties. Prospective donors undergo medical screening to determine their eligibility and health status. Once approved, their donated milk is pasteurized to eliminate pathogens while preserving its nutritional value, and then sent to public health for testing, The pasteurized milk is distributed to hospitals and individuals in a safe and regulated manner. UC Health Milk Bank, AANHPI Lactation Collaborative, California Breastfeeding Coalition, California WIC Association, Community Bridges WIC, Denise Chapel Nutritional Services, Human Milk Connection, Nourishing Justly, Pretty Mama Breastfeeding LLC, Raíces y Cariño, Sacramento Breastfeeding Coalition, Santa Cruz County Breastfeeding Coalition, Solano County Breastfeeding Coalition and Watsonville Hospital will join the public awareness campaign to shine a light on how human milk saves lives.

Silexion Therapeutics Collaborates with Multi Billion Dollar Clinical Development Player, Advancing Revolutionary Cancer Treatment Toward Clinical Trials

Global Markets News

Silexion Therapeutics' (NASDAQ: SLXN) * groundbreaking RNAi therapy showing 70-80% tumor reduction takes major step forward with global manufacturing collaboration; Wall Street analysts reportedly maintain $5 price target representing potential 500% upside as company targets $470B precision medicine market Game-Changing Partnership Announcement In a strategic move that significantly advances its revolutionary cancer treatment pipeline, Silexion Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SLXN) announced today a collaboration with global therapeutics giant Catalent to optimize and manufacture its breakthrough KRAS-targeting therapy SIL204. This partnership represents a critical acceleration toward human clinical trials, expected to begin in the first half of 2026. The collaboration will leverage Catalent's state-of-the-art Limoges, France facility—a European center of excellence for complex biologics formulation—to optimize both systemic and intratumoral delivery formulations of SIL204, supporting Silexion's innovative dual-route strategy targeting both primary tumors and metastases. "Our collaboration with Catalent represents a significant advancement in our SIL204 development program," said Ilan Hadar, Chairman and CEO of Silexion Therapeutics. "Catalent's expertise in complex formulation development will be instrumental as we work toward our goal of initiating human clinical trials in the first half of 2026." Disrupting the "Undruggable": Silexion's Breakthrough Approach to KRAS Mutations Silexion's technology stands at the frontier of precision oncology, targeting KRAS mutations—long considered the "holy grail" of cancer targets and present in over 90% of pancreatic cancers. While competitors have developed small molecule inhibitors that target only specific KRAS mutations (primarily G12C, found in just 1-2% of pancreatic cancers), Silexion's RNA interference approach silences multiple KRAS mutations at the genetic level. Recent preclinical data revealed SIL204's remarkable efficacy across multiple pancreatic cancer models: 70% reduction in tumor burden in AsPC-1 models (KRAS G12D mutation) Significant dose-dependent tumor reduction in Panc-1 models (KRAS G12D mutation) 80% tumor reduction in BxPC-3 models Most critically, for the first time, Silexion demonstrated SIL204's ability to reduce metastatic spread to secondary organs—a game-changing advancement that could transform treatment paradigms for aggressive pancreatic cancer. Dual-Route Strategy: A Comprehensive Attack on Cancer Silexion recently unveiled its expanded development plan for SIL204, integrating both systemic administration for targeting metastatic progression and intratumoral delivery for attacking primary tumors—a comprehensive approach unique in KRAS-targeted therapies. The orthotopic models used in Silexion's breakthrough studies better represent human pancreatic cancer biology by allowing tumors to develop in their native environment. This stands in contrast to subcutaneous xenograft models, where tumors grow beneath the skin rather than in the organ of origin. This expanded approach is supported by SIL204's demonstrated ability to maintain therapeutic levels for over 56 days from a single administration—an unprecedented achievement in RNAi therapeutics. Massive Market Opportunity in Precision Oncology The partnership with Catalent positions Silexion advantageously within the rapidly growing precision medicine market, projected to surge from $102 billion in 2024 to $470 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 16.5%. Within this broader market, KRAS-driven cancers represent a substantial unmet need, with the market for KRAS inhibitors expected to grow at an impressive 36% CAGR, reaching $10 billion by 2032. Recent years have seen unprecedented consolidation in precision oncology, with big pharma aggressively seeking innovative assets: Pfizer's landmark $43 billion acquisition of Seagen in 2023 AbbVie's $10.1 billion purchase of Immunogen Numerous other multi-billion dollar transactions for targeted oncology assets With major pharmaceutical companies collectively holding over $170 billion in cash reserves, according to reports, the M&A environment remains highly favorable for innovative companies developing breakthrough cancer therapeutics. Wall Street's Bullish Outlook: Over 500% Potential Upside Wall Street analysts appear to recognize Silexion's potential, with Maxim Group maintaining a Buy rating and a $5 price target—representing a remarkable premium of over ~500% from today's pre market price. This seemingly bullish stance reflects confidence in Silexion's differentiated technology, promising preclinical data, and clear strategic roadmap. Silexion's partnership with Catalent adds credibility to its development roadmap, which includes toxicology and pharmacodynamic studies throughout 2025, regulatory submissions to the Israel Ministry of Health in H2 2025 and the European Union in H1 2026, and the initiation of human clinical trials in 2026. A Potential Industry Game-Changer to Watch Silexion Therapeutics stands at a pivotal moment in its development journey. With groundbreaking preclinical data demonstrating efficacy against both primary tumors and metastases, a clear strategic roadmap to clinical trials, and now a global manufacturing partnership with Catalent, the company is positioned at the intersection of high unmet medical need and significant market opportunity. As pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest malignancies with a dismal five-year survival rate below 13%, Silexion's innovative approach targeting multiple KRAS mutations could represent a transformative advancement in treatment paradigms—potentially reshaping the landscape for one of oncology's most challenging diseases. For investors seeking exposure to next-generation precision oncology, Silexion represents a unique opportunity to participate in the development of a potentially disruptive technology addressing one of medicine's most significant challenges. News Highlights from Silexion: - Silexion Therapeutics Announces Collaboration with Global Therapeutics Leader Catalent on Advanced siRNA Formulation Development & Clinical Manufacturing Activities - Silexion Therapeutics Unveils Innovative Expanded Development Plan for SIL204 Based on Recent Groundbreaking Preclinical Data - Silexion Therapeutics Reports Groundbreaking Positive Initial Data from Systemic Administration of SIL204 in Orthotopic Pancreatic Cancer Models *Disclaimer: This article was written and published by Wall Street Wire™, a promotional content and distribution brand and network.

Consolidated Credit Addresses Common Credit Myths During Financial Literacy Month

Consolidated Credit

As Americans face challenges such as increasing interest rates, inflation, and record-high credit card debt, Consolidated Credit, a leading national nonprofit credit counseling organization, is using Financial Literacy Month this April to confront one of the most significant barriers to financial wellness: misinformation. “Credit cards and credit scores play a crucial role in almost every financial decision, yet many people hold onto misconceptions that can negatively affect their financial health,” said Sandra Tobon, Director of Housing Counseling and Community Outreach at Consolidated Credit. Consolidated Credit highlights that some of the most harmful financial myths continue to circulate, often leading individuals to avoid using credit responsibly or overlook their existing debt. “Many people feel embarrassed or confused when it comes to their credit. We want to remove the stigma and replace it with support and education,” says April Lewis-Parks, Consolidated Credit’s Director of Financial Education. “ Good credit is possible — you just need the right tools and information.” Top Credit Myths: MYTH #1: A high credit score equals just paying bills on time. Truth: While payment history is critical, it’s not the only factor. Credit utilization ratio is important, too. TIP: Aim to use less than 30% of available credit across all accounts. If the credit limit is $5,000, try to keep your balance under $1,500. MYTH #2: Only worry about credit scores when applying for a loan. Truth: Credit scores can affect job opportunities, apartment rentals, insurance premiums, and even utilities. Lenders use credit score ranges to assess risk level and determine rates and terms: 720+ Excellent: May qualify for the best rates and rewards 660–719 Good: Generally approved for credit, but may have higher rates 580–659 Fair: Limited access to credit; higher costs Below 580 Poor: Often denied traditional credit or subject to very high rates MYTH #3: APR doesn’t matter if you plan to pay your balance off. Truth: While that’s true, more than 60% of Americans carry a balance, according to Debt.com’s latest research. The average credit card APR in the U.S. is currently over 20%, but many consumers don’t even know what theirs is. TIP: Anything under 15% APR is generally considered favorable, but even then, carrying a balance adds up quickly. MYTH #4: Credit card rewards are always a win. Truth: Rewards can be useful, but only when paying off the balance in full each month. Otherwise, interest charges often cancel out any cashback or points earned. TIP: Rewards should be a bonus — not a reason to spend more. Focus on responsible usage first, then optimize rewards. MYTH #5: You’ll know when your debt is getting out of hand. Truth: Many people don’t realize their debt is unmanageable until they’re overwhelmed. Warning signs include: Only making minimum payments Skipping other bills to pay credit cards Using one card to pay another Feeling anxiety or shame about credit card or loan balances TIP: A healthy debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is below 36%. If more than a third of your income is going toward debt payments, it’s time to reassess your budget or seek help.
