This One Company Is Working On A Breakthrough Approach To Revolutionize Pain Management

Autonomix Medical, Inc.

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Autonomix Medical (NASDAQ: AMIX) is a medical device company dedicated to transforming the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or disorders related to the nervous system. At the core of Autonomix's innovative approach is a first-in-class technology platform featuring a catheter-based microchip sensing array. This technology boasts an unprecedented ability to detect and differentiate neural signals with up to 3,000 times greater sensitivity than existing technologies. This breakthrough has paved the way for transvascular diagnosis and treatment of nervous system diseases virtually anywhere in the body, offering a new horizon of medical possibilities and market opportunities. Clinical Studies In Pancreatic Cancer Pain Autonomix has initiated its first clinical study targeting pancreatic cancer pain, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing medical innovation. Pancreatic cancer represents a considerable unmet medical need, particularly concerning pain management. Effective solutions in this area are critically needed, as current relief options for pancreatic diseases are limited to drugs like opioids. In light of that, the initiation of these clinical studies represents a crucial step toward addressing this substantial healthcare challenge for suffering patients. Market Opportunities In addition to addressing the pain relief needs of patients, Autonomix’s technology presents significant market opportunities across various medical fields. By accurately targeting the nervous system, Autonomix aims to address unmet needs and improve treatments for a wide range of conditions including but not limited to: Pancreatic Cancer Pain: The successful application of Autonomix's technology in pancreatic cancer pain management would not only help pancreatic cancer patients find relief from pain but also unlocks significant market potential. Pancreatic cancer pain management is part of a $2.2 billion market for pancreatic cancer treatment. Chronic Pain: This market presents a significant opportunity estimated at $75 billion. Conditions such as lower back pain, pelvic pain, urinary tract pain, digestive disorders and other tumor-related pain are prevalent and often inadequately managed with current therapies, particularly opioids. Autonomix's technology offers the potential to significantly reduce or eliminate the dependence on opioids, providing a safer and more effective solution for chronic pain management. Cardiovascular Diseases: With a market opportunity estimated at $23 billion, Autonomix's technology could revolutionize the treatment of conditions like hypertension and cardiovascular disease. By targeting the nervous system's role in these diseases, more precise and effective treatments could be developed. Pulmonary Diseases: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is another area where Autonomix's technology could have a substantial impact. The market for COPD treatments is estimated to be around $18 billion with considerable growth ahead, driven by the need for more effective and less side-effect-prone therapies. Autonomix's approach could provide a new paradigm in managing this debilitating condition. Meeting Unmet Needs with Innovative Solutions Current drug therapies for many of these conditions often come with significant side effects and do not adequately address the underlying issues. Autonomix's technology offers a promising alternative by providing targeted, nerve-based treatments that could improve patient outcomes and quality of life. This innovative approach aligns with Autonomix's mission to dramatically enhance the lives of millions by enabling precise and effective nerve-targeted treatments. In doing so, Autonomix can both detect and ablate malfunctioning nerves in one simple procedure, effectively opening new treatment options in the field of electrophysiology. The Full Opportunity Autonomix Medical sits at the forefront of a potential revolution in medical treatment for diseases driven by the nervous system. The company’s advanced technology platform not only offers hope for better management of pancreatic cancer pain, but also opens the door to addressing numerous other conditions with significant unmet need. By providing physicians with powerful new tools for diagnosis and treatment, Autonomix is poised to make a profound impact on the future of healthcare. Featured photo by Irwan on Unsplash.

On The Horizon: How One Company Plans To Use Its Innovative Aircraft Design To Revolutionize Regional Air Travel

Benzinga

By James Blacker, Benzinga Investment in Regional Air Mobility (RAM) is on the rise, driven by innovative flight technologies that promise to transform short-haul travel and improve connectivity between small cities and rural areas. As the demand for efficient, sustainable and flexible transportation increases, companies like New Horizon Aircraft (NASDAQ: HOVR) are positioning themselves to capitalize on a global market that could grow to $115 billion by 2035, with some 300 to 700 million passengers annually. Rising Demand For RAM In the United States, regional airports are underutilized, partly because most airlines use hub-and-spoke networks that require passengers to transit at larger hubs. Most Americans therefore choose to either drive to their final destination or fly from a larger airport, even if it is further away. The idea of RAM is to use smaller aircraft to connect regions that are underserved by traditional airline routes. It brings the convenience and speed of air travel to everyone, wherever they are located across the country. A NASA-funded study carried out by the Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Aerospace Engineering predicts a resurgence in demand for regional flying. Based on door-to-door travel costs and travel-time savings, the researchers identified how many people taking journeys of more than 100 miles would choose to fly if they could do so from a nearby regional airport. Technological Advances In Aviation McKinsey & Company notes that innovations in propulsion, aircraft design, manufacturing, navigation and control are making small aircraft more viable. These technological advances promise to push down operational costs and reduce the environmental impact. In the future, we could even see fully autonomous aircraft, which would cut costs even further as labor accounts for around 20%-30% of small aircraft operating costs. According to McKinsey, more than 50 companies are developing battery-electric, hybrid, or hydrogen small aircraft. Players working on new aircraft designs include Airbus and Embraer (NYSE: ERJ). eVTOL For Regional Mobility? Another player looking to tap into the RAM market is New Horizon Aircraft (NASDAQ: HOVR), a developer of electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. While eVTOL aircraft are typically designed for very short flights within urban areas, Horizon’s Cavorite X7 uses a patented wing design that allows it to fly further and carry heavier loads, making it suitable for the regional air mobility market. New Horizon’s Cavorite X7 is a next generation hybrid-electric eVTOL aircraft that can move people and cargo across distances of between 50 and 500 miles at speeds of up to 250 mph. It is a seven-seater aircraft that can take off and land vertically, like a helicopter. However, once it reaches a safe altitude, the Cavorite X7 reconfigures and flies like a normal plane, allowing it to fly faster and further than a helicopter. With a hybrid electric power system, the Cavorite X7 can also recharge mid-flight. In addition to passenger travel for the RAM market, New Horizon envisages that the X7 will also be used in various sectors, including medical evacuation, natural disaster response, emergency surveillance and search and rescue. A Promising Horizon Recent investment in the RAM market represents the start of a seismic shift to more efficient and sustainable short-haul travel. New Horizon Aircraft is at the forefront of this transformation, offering an innovative product that addresses the growing demand for regional connectivity. For investors, this could present a compelling opportunity to be part of a market poised for substantial growth.

Manitoba Woman Beats Stage 4 Cancer with Breakthrough CAR T-Cell Therapy

MarketJar

Disseminated on behalf of CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. Cancer treatments have come a long way over the years, but there is a newer treatment that is providing even stage four cancer patients with a new lease on life. The first CAR T-cell therapy was only approved in 2017, but it’s already having a significant impact in the cancer treatment market. The latest success story comes from Sandra Hajlo, who just became the first person in Manitoba to be declared cancer-free following CAR T-cell therapy. 1 Initially diagnosed with stage four B-cell lymphoma in 2015, Hajlo underwent successful chemotherapy. However, eight years later, her cancer returned, leading to another battle with the disease. After a misdiagnosis of scoliosis, a CT scan revealed her cancer had come back. Her oncologist recommended CAR T-cell therapy, a new treatment where T-cells are modified to target cancer cells, making her the first recipient of this therapy at CancerCare Manitoba. Dr. David Szwajcer, Manitoba Blood & Marrow Transplant Director at CancerCare Manitoba, explained that the CAR T-cells are collected, sent to a U.S. facility for modification, and then reintroduced to the patient. Hajlo described the procedure as quick and straightforward, taking only 20 minutes. After undergoing CAR T-cell therapy in December 2023, Hajlo learned in April 2024 that the treatment was successful, and she is cancer-free once again, expressing her gratitude for the second chance at life. CAR T-cell therapy does not guarantee survival, with about half of the patients not responding,but it has shown promising results in many cases. CERo Therapeutics Holdings (NASDAQ:CERO) is an innovative immunotherapy company seeking to advance the next generation of engineered T cell therapeutics. CERo Therapeutics is unrelated to CancerCare Manitoba and had no role in the CAR T-cell therapy described above. Nevertheless, CERo Therapeutics believes that the success of the CAR T-cell therapy in Manitoba may provide an indication of the potential for its proprietary CER-T (chimeric engulfment receptor) cell therapy. CAR-T cell treatment has a steep price tag and some potential serious side effects including secondary cancer developing 2 as well as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), 3 which causes your immune system to go into overdrive and is potentially life threatening. CER-T cell therapy may provide a more cost-effective alternative with fewer side effects. CERo Advances Innovative Cancer Immunotherapy CERo Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CERO) developed CER-T cells to enhance efficiency and reduce side effects compared to traditional therapies by leveraging the body's natural tumor-fighting mechanisms. CER-T cells achieve this through direct tumor killing and by amplifying the body's anti-tumor immune response, and additionally by presenting cancer cell fragments to other immune cells, drawing these cells to attack the tumor. Peer-reviewed data shows that CER-T cells have at least eight anticancer functions, offering potent, durable, and low-toxicity therapeutic benefits, with the capability to completely eliminate tumors. The company has validated these findings in 10 animal experiments, including a study on Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) published in March 2024. CERo Therapeutics believes CER-T cells offer greater therapeutic potential than currently approved chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) cell therapy, potentially targeting both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. The company plans to begin clinical trials for its lead product candidate, CER-1236, in 2024 for treating hematological malignancies. CERo has been diligently completing pre-clinical studies and documentation necessary to initiate clinical trials after gaining approval from the FDA for its Investigational New Drug (IND) Application. CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ:CERO) has successfully completed toxicity studies for CER-1236, a critical step before applying to the FDA for approval to begin human trials. With these studies showing that CER-1236 can be safely administered, the company is now focusing on ensuring safe manufacturing and finalizing its FDA application. Upon FDA acceptance, the company would be able to commence Phase 1 clinical trials, marking the start of the journey toward US approval and addressing unmet medical needs. CERo plans to update shareholders on their progress, including presentations at investor conferences, potential growth of their intellectual property portfolio, and advancements in other programs beyond AML.

Biden's Chinese Battery Tariff Hike Could See US Manufacturers Like Dragonfly Energy Gain Ground

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga While China currently dominates the global market for lithium-ion batteries, accounting for 80-90% of manufacturing, the U.S. is trying to break its dependence on Chinese batteries. In a significant move that will impact the industry, the Biden Administration has announced plans to triple the tariffs on batteries and battery parts imported from China into the United States. Currently set at 7.5%, these tariffs will be raised to 25% in the coming years. This tariff increase follows the highly publicized Inflation Reduction Act, which was announced in August 2022 and allocated substantial funds to wind, solar and storage tax credits. The goal of this policy was to drive the construction of approximately 30GW/111GWh of energy storage capacity between 2022 and 2030. The implementation of these tax credits is expected to support the long-term growth of the energy storage industry. According to a fact sheet released by the White House, the tariff rate for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs) will increase to 25% in 2024. Similarly, the tariff rate for non-EV lithium-ion batteries will also rise to 25% in 2026. In addition to batteries, the tariff rate for battery parts will also be increased to 25% in 2024. Tariffs for natural graphite and permanent magnets, which are essential components in battery production, will also be raised from zero to 25% in 2026. Certain critical minerals used in the manufacturing process will face a tariff increase from zero to 25% in 2024. With this announcement, U.S.-made batteries could become more relevant than ever. The Future Of Batteries Is Made In America: Dragonfly Energy Leads the Charge Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: DFLI) is an established American lithium battery and technology company renowned for its deep-cycle lithium-ion batteries. The company uniquely designs and assembles its batteries in Nevada, distinguishing itself from competitors who predominantly rely on completely imported products. Through strategic research and development efforts, Dragonfly Energy is expanding its expertise beyond battery pack assembly and into full battery cell production in North America. This dedication to domestic production positions them to capitalize on the burgeoning U.S. lithium market. Dragonfly's strength lies in its innovative, proprietary dry electrode manufacturing process. Independent evaluations, like the one by Sphere Energy, confirm its effectiveness. This cutting-edge approach ensures scalability and cost-efficiency and demonstrates a higher degree of sustainability compared to existing technologies. Specific advantages include the elimination of toxic NMP solvents, reduced factory space requirements, lower energy consumption during production, decreased carbon footprint and cost savings in manufacturing processes. These domestic production costs translate to significant savings compared to traditional overseas products, even before factoring in IRA tax credits and looming tariff hikes. The company's adaptable manufacturing process allows it to cater to diverse markets by offering cost-effective battery solutions for electric vehicles, consumer electronics and energy storage systems, solidifying its position as an industry leader in battery technology. Additionally, Dragonfly Energy licenses this technology, potentially accelerating the adoption of American-made batteries across various sectors. With President Biden's restrictions on Chinese imports for non-EV batteries not coming into place until 2026, Dragonfly Energy has a significant window to scale cell manufacturing operations, eventually leading to an exclusively American-made product. This aligns with the national agenda of promoting domestic manufacturing and reducing reliance on China, making Dragonfly Energy a pivotal player in the U.S. quest for lithium battery independence.

Gaucho Holdings New Business Segment Expands Their Value Proposition Within The Fintech And Real Estate Sector

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VINO), a company that includes a growing collection of e-commerce platforms with a focus on fine wines, luxury real estate and leather goods and accessories, recently announced the launch of their new business segment, Gaucho Open Asset Lending (GOAL), a new mortgage lending division. GOAL is intended to serve as the company’s self-financing option for buyers of its unique luxury vineyard real estate project, Algodon Wine Estates, and potentially beyond. Gaucho Holdings: Expanding The Value Proposition Within Argentina’s Real Estate And Mortgage Lending Sectors GOAL is a strategic move by Gaucho Holdings to diversify the company’s revenue stream and is expected to be a significant growth segment in the future. The company offers prospective buyers self-financed mortgages, a move that could potentially generate substantial interest income. These options include 10-, 15- and 20-year mortgage terms, providing greater accessibility to over 400 vineyard estate lots on the Algodon Wine Estates, which Gaucho Holdings owns outrightly. The company estimates that the potential revenue from the sale of these vineyard lots could be approximately $80 - 100 million, excluding any future appreciation. Even after the sale of all projected lots, Gaucho Holdings will retain over 2,500 acres for its operations and further development. The company also has ambitions for GOAL beyond its current business use case and envisions it being a direct-to-consumer lender, providing innovative mortgage and lending solutions to Argentinians unable to access traditional financing options that have been largely unavailable to the public. Gaucho Holding: Record Growth In The Argentine Wine Market Gaucho Holdings continues to see success in its current business operations. Recently, they announced that wine sales in Argentina for the year to date in 2024 have increased by 217% compared to the same period last year, attributable to the expansion of the company's distribution networks throughout Argentina and other strategic initiatives. Critical enhancements reported by Gaucho include improvements to operational infrastructure and distribution channels, the assiduous actions of its in-house wine sales management team, and contributions from the company's Argentina e-commerce website and other distributors. Gaucho Holdings' success is not indicative of the overall Argentina wine industry. As the International Organization of Vine and Wine reported, Argentinian wine production fell to a historical low in 2023, primarily due to spring frosts and hailstorms. Beyond the climate, the changing economic landscape has made it difficult for some winemakers to export their goods profitably. A Changing Argentine Economy The Argentinian economy is in the midst of change. President Javier Milei continues to push austerity and deregulation measures in an effort to revive the country’s struggling economy. As reported by the Associated Press, Argentina’s inflation rating has been decreasing, though it is still amongst the highest globally. From a currency standpoint, Milei has maintained his message about replacing the Argentinian peso with the U.S. dollar, which has sent the peso downward. Though the newly elected government's economic cutbacks have been extensive, they have been welcomed by the nation’s creditors and many market players. So much so that the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Argentina’s biggest creditor, recently released the latest tranche of loans due under a bailout program. The IMF deal follows the completion of its review of Argentina’s compliance record and confirms the next $792 million payment will become available to the government in June 2024. Gaucho Holdings' success and new endeavor come at an inflection point in Argentina’s economic journey. As the nation’s economic prospects improve, the company foresees the economy stabilizing and is proactively positioning itself to provide an emergent need – financing – for individuals and entities entering the real estate sector.
