Currently available Parkinson’s disease treatments, while capable of improving the early symptoms of the disease, lose their effect as the disease progresses and produce involuntary writing movements in the patients. As of yet there is no cure for the disease, which is the second most common neurodegenerative disease and affects over 7 million people worldwide. International Stem Cell Corp. (OTC: ISCO), a leader in using pluripotent stem cells in regenerative medicine, this morning issued news regarding its stem cell technology – signaling a potential blockbuster shift it the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

ISCO today announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cyto Therapeutics, has received regulatory approval by the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia to initiate a phase I/IIa clinical trial, dose escalation trial of human parthenogenetic stem cells-derived neural stem cells (ISC-hpNSC) in patients with moderate to severe Parkinson’s disease.

“We are very pleased to start the first human study of ISC-hpNSC’s for the treatment of this debilitating disease. There is a large unmet medical need for new treatments that may halt or reverse the progression of Parkinson’s disease and we believe our human neural stem cells may fill this need for the millions of people with this disease” stated Andrey Semechkin, PhD, ISCO’s chief executive officer. “We look forward to reporting on the progress of the clinical trial over the coming months.”

ISCO last year announced positive results from its preclinical studies for its ISC-hpNSC therapeutic candidate. In those preclinical studies, the cells demonstrated an improvement in Parkinson’s disease symptoms and increase in brain dopamine levels following the intracranial administration of ISC-hpNSC. The studies further noted that the ISC-hpNSCs provided neurotrophic support and cell replacement to dying dopaminergic neurons.

About the clinical study

The upcoming phase I/IIa clinical study – which will be performed at Royal Melbourne Hospital in Melbourne, Australia – is a dose escalation safety and preliminary efficacy study of human parthenogenetic stem cells-derived neural stem cells (ISC-hpNSC) intracranially transplanted into patients with moderate to severe Parkinson’s disease. The open-label, single center, uncontrolled clinical trial will evaluate three different dose regimens of 30 million-70 million neural cells. A total of 12 participants with moderate to severe Parkinson’s disease will be treated. Following transplantation, the patients will be monitored for 12 months at specified intervals, to evaluate the safety and biologic activity of ISC-hpNSC.

“We are the first company in the world to conduct clinical trials of human pluripotent stem cells based product for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. We believe the outcome of the study will produce findings in-line with our preclinical studies, where we demonstrated not only safety of our proprietary neural stem cells, but also their functional efficacy. The cells were able to successfully integrate into the brain and provide a significant increase of dopamine levels in the nigrostriatal system” commented Russell Kern, PhD, ISCO’s executive vice president and chief scientific officer.

In November 2015, Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTC: AGHI), through wholly-owned subsidiary Geegle, completed development of TECH, a workflow management application for small- to medium-sized companies (SMEs). TECH simplifies task assignment and was developed to solve some of the logistical problems experienced by companies in the cable and telecommunications industry. Agora’s CEO, Danail Terziev, who holds a master’s in telecommunications, acquired direct knowledge of these problems when he worked at Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) and Rogers Communications (NYSE: RCI). With TECH, telecom technicians can receive, accept, assign, and re-assign work orders received from customers.

TECH is a software nerve center. With it, technicians are always in touch with the office and the office knows the exact status of every job, whether it’s a technician visiting a customer or doing paperwork for that customer. Tasks can be assigned and tracked at anytime from anywhere. TECH pulls together scattered team efforts. It increases team visibility, team productivity and worker accountability by showing who’s working on what, what’s being worked on, and how much time it took. Putting work orders through this internal system improves planning, organization and efficiency as it pins down worker availability, strategically re-assigns work load, and tracks task progress.

TECH helps the technician to be more productive, and it’s a boon to his employer as well. TECH generates data that provides valuable insight into employee performance and customer needs. Future versions of TECH will allow for team chat that can be used to gather feedback from supervisors and team members in real time. Client companies are able to use the software by licensing it for $100 per month. They may also open the software in test mode for a smaller monthly fee to begin creating and executing tasks. To date, interest has been garnered from three cable companies to license the application. Contracts have been sent out and Geegle Operations are awaiting their go-ahead.

Agora Holdings, Inc., together with subsidiary Geegle Media and affiliates, is a leading diversified international family entertainment and media enterprise with five business segments: media networks, TV, studio entertainment, consumer products and interactive media. Agora brings together the best in media and technology. The company is driven by the mission to create the world’s best entertainment and online experiences. It’s dedicated to creating bespoke web products that fulfill the public’s insatiable appetite for social media platforms and apps, TV on Demand, and data storage applications. Operating under the domain name, www.geegle.tv, Geegle Media has, so far, developed a Video on Demand platform which services Canada, the United States, Russia and Bulgaria. Agora’s TECH software is a makeover for the cable guy. No need to be worried about him now.

Email has become an essential factor for nearly every business in existence today, serving a wide variety of roles ranging from internal communications and business intelligence enabling, to end market engagement and the growth of a given brand’s presence. In fact, a recent report published earlier this year by digital technology-focused analysts eMarketer.com indicates that email use in the U.S. has not only increased some 6.3 percent since 2013 to around 233 million users (72.4 percent market penetration), but that by 2019 overall penetration will hit upwards of 90 percent of all internet users. This is a massive target for businesses and is a major reason why email marketing is still king, despite the growth of social media marketing as a component of an overall marketing effort.

Private internet media heavy-hitter BuzzFeed, for instance, relies heavily on driving traffic back to their site via emails containing original content, and email is routinely one of its top five or six traffic drivers each month, ranking right alongside Twitter and Pinterest. Coming from an entity like BuzzFeed that gets 200-plus million unique visitors each month, news that email traffic grew by around 20 percent in 2013 and 2014 month-over-month should serve as an important lesson to investors and businesses alike about the importance of email to the bottom line.

The eMarketer report mentioned earlier also indicated that around 35.6 percent of internet users actively subscribe to emails from brands in order to stay up to date on the latest news and information, as well as gain access to timely offers or discounts on a given product. However, because email isn’t a standalone storage solution, one of the hottest growth areas today is email archiving solutions, the market for which is expected to maintain a CAGR of nearly 14 percent from 2015 to 2019, according to market research publishing giant Technavio.

Archiving emails and other unstructured data for everything from compliance and risk mitigation, to governance and cost optimization, has become a major focus for SME and enterprise companies, as well as educational institutions and government agencies. In fact, a study from renowned market research, analysis and advisory firm IDC (International Data Corporation) out earlier this year in June, which looked at both the top SaaS (software-as-a-service) companies and ISVs (independent software vendors), indicated that the global archiving software market hit $1.5 billion last year. The strongest growth for the industry is coming from cloud archiving, which is set to deliver a 9.3 percent CAGR through 2019.

Little wonder then that iGambit (OTCQB: IGMB), an extremely lithe, diversified holding company and enterprise incubator focused on early-stage tech companies with viral potential, recently acquired Network Products Guide Product Innovation Award recipient, ArcMail Technology. iGambit subsequently announced the selling off of certain assets of its wholly-owned Gotham Innovation Lab subsidiary, in order to plough the proceeds from the sale directly into the accelerated development of ArcMail’s promising email archiving and management solutions. Solutions aimed not only at providing comprehensive and readily accessible storage, but boosting network performance and satisfying increasingly stringent regulatory requirements as well.

This strategic move by iGambit is perfectly aligned with the company’s core values, which emphasize the targeting and development of such companies as ArcMail that have runaway potential, but which require IGMB’s strategic guidance and operational support in order to take things to the next level. Even in an industry dominated by major players like Rackspace (NYSE: RAX) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), whose Amazon Web Services was once again top-ranked by marketing, research and advisory firm Gartner this year in cloud IaaS (infrastructure as a service), as well as cloud-connected appliance players like Barracuda (NYSE: CUDA), there is ample room for an investor-accessible company like IGMB, whose now wholly-owned ArcMail subsidiary is geared more towards the SME market.

By providing a diverse array of simplified, affordable solutions that are ideal for smaller companies, which still possess the kind of robust security and broad-spectrum archival capabilities on offer from sector majors, ArcMail is able to hit the sweet spot time and again with stunning agility, directly competing with juggernauts like Amazon, which services companies ranging from Nike (NYSE: NKE) to Siemens (OTC: SIEGY). A good example of this is how ArcMail was chosen by wholly-owned Power Solutions International (NASDAQ: PSIX) subsidiary Power Great Lakes to fulfill its email archiving needs with a secure, readily accessible solution that ensures content is neither altered or deleted.

After extensive due diligence by Power Great Lakes’ IT Manager, involving the vetting of numerous software and appliance based solutions, ArcMail’s flagship Defender™ appliance was chosen to avoid clunky alternatives like storing old mail on Exchange, which is a considerable network performance hit, putting a strain on the server(s) and requiring unwieldy backup times. ArcMail’s Defender line of email archiving hardware has been deployed everywhere from K-12 school districts and universities, to government agencies like the Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security, and finance concerns such as Franklin Financial Network’s (NYSE: FSB) wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Franklin Synergy Bank.

With a slew of offerings on the table ranging from ArcMail’s fully hosted and managed archiving solution, to cloud-driven archiving through ArcMail’s cloud storage gateway, and virtual machine-driven archiving through a VMware environments-based implementation equivalent to the company’s Defender line, ArcMail has a suite of choices able to satisfy any client’s needs. Moreover, the company has a range of market-driven archiving products like ArcMail Guardian™ that can automatically encode, index and archive inbound, outbound and internal mail, and is designed to be the perfect one-stop-shop appliance solution for Google Apps™ and Office 365 Mail. There is also ArcMail’s solutions for SharePoint™ Files, Salesforce Chatter™ conversations, and social media interactions.

This is a shrewd move for a veteran incubator like iGambit, which has a considerable track record of success with hands-on development of startups into multi-million dollar businesses, all accomplished using its own capital. With a deep bench of veteran executives led by IGMB’s President, Chairman and CEO, John Salerno, who has spent over four decades on the frontlines in public and private computer software and service companies, iGambit has the talent and the vision needed to continue executing on its acquisition and development goals.

The focus for IGMB moving forward will continue to be on acquisition targets that have high-margin, predictable earnings potential, where iGambit can step in and assist with crystallizing the licensing and servicing capabilities that form the foundation of a given recurring revenue model. Long-term stockholder value accretion is the overarching objective for IGMB, which facilitates partner company network growth until such time as the matured entity can be profitability spun-off.

In 2014, the largest Ebola epidemic in history struck countries in West Africa, catching the attention of media outlets around the world and reaffirming the destructive power that viruses can have on unprepared civilizations. Viruses come in many shapes and sizes. From relatively inert bugs such as the common cold to dangerous, life-threatening infections like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza and dengue fever, viruses are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth, making them the most abundant type of biological entity on the planet.

Unlike bacteria, which are mostly harmless and often aid in the function of the human body, viruses are almost always bad news. These tiny organisms attach themselves to healthy cells within the body and, in many cases, reprogram those cells to create new viruses until the cells eventually burst and die. In other cases, viruses transform normal, healthy cells into malignant or cancerous cells. Although viruses are small (the largest virus is still smaller than even the smallest of bacteria), they are vicious. Most viruses target specific cells within the body, such as those in the liver, respiratory system or blood, causing serious, long-term health risks for infected individuals.

Because viruses hijack native cells and reprogram them in order to spread, effectively targeting a virus without harming its host organism’s cells is particularly difficult. When combined with viruses’ ability to mutate in order to counter attempts to inhibit their development, creating a universally effective antiviral medication becomes nearly impossible. Instead, pharmaceutical companies dodge mutations by taking preemptive measures. By administering small, relatively safe doses of viruses to patients, patients’ immune systems can be educated regarding particular viral infections, making future infections much less likely. These doses are known as vaccines.

Vaccines, much like viruses, come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies are continuing to develop and innovative this preemptive treatment option in an effort to keep up with major viral threats. Vaccines are often extremely effective. Measles, for example, is one of the leading causes of death among young children, according to the World Health Organization, but a single dose of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine, which was developed in 1971 by Merck (NYSE: MRK), is 93 percent effective at preventing the deadly virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Not all vaccines are as consistently effective as the MMR vaccine, however. Influenza vaccines, such as those regularly developed by Sanofi (NYSE: SNY) and GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK), demonstrate the limitations of preemptive virus treatment. Because the influenza virus mutates very rapidly, flu shots are developed twice each year, but outbreaks of mutated strains still occur from time to time. To illustrate this, consider the 2009 flu pandemic, which involved the deadly H1N1 influenza virus, commonly known as swine flu. After patients are infected with an unforeseen virus mutation, vaccines are rendered totally ineffective, leaving biopharmaceutical companies to turn to alternative approaches to address these dangerous illnesses.

NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NNVC) is a nano-biopharmaceutical company that’s attempting to usher in a whole new era in medicine. The company’s innovative nanoviricide® antiviral therapeutics are nanomachines that are armed to destroy a particular type of virus. By programming information about a specific virus into the nanoviricide – similar to the postal address on an envelope – the company’s treatment fools a virus that’s already in a person into attaching to it. Shortly after attachment, the nanoviricide encapsulates the virus particle and absorbs its coat proteins. Without those proteins, the virus is unable to bind to a cell, rendering it neutralized and effectively destroyed.

Utilizing its versatile platform technology, NanoViricides is currently developing drugs against a number of viral diseases – including H5N1 bird flu, seasonal influenza, HIV, epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC), hepatitis C, rabies, dengue fever and Ebola virus, among others. The company’s broad-spectrum nanoviricides, which it’s developing to combat several neglected tropical diseases, can bind to as many as 95 percent of known viruses, according to company data. NanoViricides’s most advanced product candidate, injectable FluCide™, is currently being studied in IND-enabling trials for the treatment of severe influenza with hospitalization.

In a quarterly report filed earlier this year, NanoViricides outlined its considerable progress in recent months. In particular, the company highlighted the advancement of its HerpeCide™ program, which it expects to contribute to the ongoing development of topical drugs to control herpes virus outbreaks for a number of indications – including oral lesions and shingles. Assuming positive results from its animal studies, NanoViricides expects these programs to result in extremely effective drugs.

According to its latest financial report, NanoViricides estimates that it has enough cash on hand to perform initial human clinical trials on at least one of its promising drug candidates, as well as advancing at least one additional candidate toward initial clinical trials. With HerpeCide and injectable FluCide currently leading the way, the company is in a favorable strategic position to put its promising therapeutic candidates to the test in the coming months, ahead of potential commercialization. For prospective shareholders, NanoViricides, complete with its innovative approach to targeted antiviral therapeutics, represents an extremely intriguing investment opportunity in the rapidly evolving biopharmaceutical industry.

In October, Dominovas Energy Corporation (OTC: DNRG) announced a landmark capital commitment of $1.2 billion in project financing to support the manufacture and deployment of its proprietary RUBICON™ solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system. This unprecedented commitment is expected to play a pivotal role in the company’s ongoing efforts to fulfill over 200MWs of signed and guaranteed power purchase agreements (PPAs) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and allow for continued acquisition of additional PPAs throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

At the heart of DNRG’s recent performance is its cutting-edge multi-megawatt RUBICON™ SOFC system. The RUBICON™ is a fuel-flexible, highly efficient, and scalable approach to power generation. Taking into account that fuel sources vary from country to country, the RUBICON™ is able to incorporate a number of different fuels into its operation. In fact, DNRG states that the RUBICON™ will reform almost any hydrocarbon fuel into a suitable syngas composition, allowing for optimal stack electricity generation. Also, by implementing a thermal conversion process, DNRG’s technology is able to achieve a significant efficiency gain of roughly 60 percent over any combustion-based electricity production process.

In addition to improved efficiency, the RUBICON™ provides the means for additional value propositions through the flexibility of cogeneration. When generating power, the SOFC system produces useful heat and emits water, which can be further utilized for heating and cooling, providing an opportunity to improve overall system efficiency to more than 85 percent. When combined with the option to place power generation in the immediate proximity to the end-user in order to eliminate the high costs of infrastructure and transmission line maintenance, the RUBICON™ offers frontier markets around the globe an opportunity to greatly improve their power generation capacity in an affordable, efficient and environmentally-responsible manner.

For prospective shareholders, DNRG represents an opportunity to invest in the ongoing infrastructure development of countries in sub-Saharan Africa and around the world. According to a report by McKinsey & Company, sub-Saharan Africa currently includes seven countries with electrification of 50 percent or less, but that statistic is set to change. By 2040, the report estimates that demand for electricity will increase fourfold and more than 70 percent of the population will have access to reliable power. As DNRG prepares to fulfill its first PPA in the region in the coming months, this demand should place the company in a strong strategic position to promote sustainable financial growth.
