  • Laromestrocel Biological License Application (BLA) submission for full traditional approval for HLHS anticipated if ELPIS II results are positive
  • U.S. FDA has awarded laromestrocel HLHS program Rare Pediatric Disease designation, Orphan Drug designation, and Fast Track designation
  • Laromestrocel HLHS program has the potential to address an unmet medical need with significant U.S. market opportunities
  • Even with current standard of care surgeries, only 50% of infants survive to adolescence due to right ventricular failure

MIAMI, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Longeveron Inc. (NASDAQ: LGVN), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing cellular therapy for life-threatening, rare pediatric and chronic aging-related conditions, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Longeveron a Type C meeting at the end of March to prepare for the anticipated third quarter data readout of ELPIS II, the pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the Company’s proprietary stem cell therapy, laromestrocel (LOMECEL-B®), as a potential treatment for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), a rare pediatric and orphan-designated disease. The primary purpose of the meeting is to gain alignment on the clinical efficacy data endpoints and statistical analysis plan (SAP) to support a Biologics Licensing Application (BLA).

The Company expects to provide a regulatory update after the receipt of the official meeting minutes.

ELPIS II is a Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating laromestrocel as a potential adjunct therapy for HLHS. The clinical trial enrolled 40 pediatric patients at twelve premiere infant and children’s treatment institutions across the country. ELPIS II is being conducted in collaboration with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) through grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

About Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)

HLHS is a congenital birth defect in which the left ventricle (one of the pumping chambers of the heart) is either severely underdeveloped or missing. As a consequence, infants born with this condition have severely diminished systemic blood flow, which requires them to undergo a complex, three stage heart reconstruction surgery process over the course of the first 5 years of their lives. Although surgical advances have enabled survival into adulthood for some patients, early mortality remains substantial in this population, due to right ventricular failure. As such, there remains an important unmet medical need to improve right ventricular function in these patients in order to support both short-term and long-term outcomes.

About Longeveron Inc.

Longeveron is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing regenerative medicines to address unmet medical needs. The Company’s lead investigational product is laromestrocel (LOMECEL-B®), an allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy product isolated from the bone marrow of young, healthy adult donors. Laromestrocel has multiple potential mechanisms of action encompassing pro-vascular, pro-regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and tissue repair and healing effects with broad potential applications across a spectrum of disease areas. Longeveron is currently pursuing three pipeline indications: hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and Pediatric Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). Laromestrocel development programs have received five distinct and important FDA designations: for the HLHS program – Orphan Drug designation, Fast Track designation, and Rare Pediatric Disease designation; and, for the AD program – Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation and Fast Track designation.

Blue Gold Announces First Minting of Standard Gold Coins

Company successfully completes genesis mint of Standard Gold Coins, marking key operational milestone

NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blue Gold Limited (Nasdaq: BGL) (“Blue Gold” or the “Company”), a next-generation gold development and technology company, today announced that it has successfully completed the first minting of its genesis Standard Gold Coins (SGC), marking a significant milestone in the operational rollout of its gold-backed digital asset framework.

Each SGC corresponds to one gram of fully allocated physical gold, minted only upon verified custody intake and subject to defined compliance and authorization procedures. The initial minting represents the first issuance of SGC fully backed by allocated physical gold held in professional custody, in accordance with the governance, reserve management, and operational controls outlined in the Company’s recently published Standard Gold Coin White Paper.

“Gold has served as a store of value for thousands of years, but this minting brings it fully into the digital age in a way that preserves true physical ownership, verifiable backing, and the transparency that comes from being developed and operated by a U.S. publicly traded company,” said Andrew Cavaghan, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Gold. “The successful initial minting demonstrates that the infrastructure, custody framework, and operational controls behind SGC are now live and functioning exactly as designed. This milestone moves us from concept to execution and validates the discipline and rigor we have applied to building an institutional-grade digital gold product.”

The initial minting was distributed across 100 individual holders, each acquiring one Standard Gold Coin and collectively representing the first on-chain ownership of SGC backed by fully allocated physical gold.

“What stood out to us was not just that gold was being tokenized, but how it was being done,” said Kris Meyer, of Black Eagle Partners. “The combination of allocated physical gold, verifiable custody, and public-company oversight created a level of trust that we believe is essential for digital gold to succeed at scale.”

“Digital gold only works if trust comes first,” said Max Osbon, of Osbon Capital. “SGC stands out because it treats physical backing, verification, and transparency as prerequisites, not afterthoughts. The controls, custody, and disclosure behind SGC represent a system designed for durability and scale.”

“Credibility is everything when it comes to gold, and SGC treats physical backing, custody, and governance as non-negotiable requirements, not optional features,” said Wesley Paul, former Global Head of Investments, JP Morgan. “The structure is deliberately simple and disciplined, which is exactly what gold ownership should be.”

With the first minting now complete, Blue Gold expects to open SGC to public purchase in the near term. The Company has already generated strong early demand for SGC, including more than one million pre-registration indications of interest recorded within five days of its initial launch announcement in November.

“Gold doesn’t need to change to remain relevant, but how it’s held and utilised does,” Cavaghan added. “SGC is built to meet that need, and this first minting demonstrates that the system is market-ready.”

Da Vinci 5 Cleared for Cardiac Procedures

FDA 510(k) clearance expands da Vinci 5 indications to include certain cardiac procedures

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intuitive (NASDAQ: ISRG), a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the da Vinci 5 system for certain cardiac procedures, including mitral valve repair and IMA (internal mammary artery) mobilization for cardiac revascularization. 
        
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming nearly 18 million lives each year.i More than two million patients worldwide undergo open heart surgery annuallyii, with most procedures requiring a sternotomy, an approach that involves splitting the breastbone to open the chest and access the heart.

“Opening the chest to perform surgical procedures can involve significant pain, high risk of complications, and long recovery times that can affect patients’ physical and psychological wellbeing,” said Intuitive chief executive officer Dave Rosa. “This clearance reflects our commitment to advancing minimally invasive cardiac surgery so more surgeons and care teams can pursue improved outcomes for their patients.”

Cardiac surgery was the first specialty cleared on the original da Vinci System in 2002. Since then, more than 140,000 robotic-assisted cardiac procedures have been performed using da Vinci systems across 51 countries. While early milestones demonstrated clinical potential, a combination of technical limitations of first‑generation platforms and the absence of a global training and support infrastructure led Intuitive to shift its primary focus away from cardiac surgery. Today, with those barriers addressed and a mature ecosystem in place, minimally invasive cardiac surgery is positioned for meaningful expansion with da Vinci 5.

The design of da Vinci 5 can support minimally invasive cardiac procedures by enabling surgeons to operate through small incisions without opening the breastbone. The system offers:

  • 10,000x computing power for future innovation and digital solutions.
  • Smart instrumentation capturing 1,000+ data points per second.
  • Advanced imaging for enhanced visualization of vessels and perfusion.
  • An integrated digital ecosystem supporting the complete journey from pre-operative planning through post-operative analytics.

“Da Vinci 5 marks the beginning of a global initiative to help transform cardiac care,” said Intuitive’s global vice president of cardiac Darla Hutton. “By combining 30 years of meaningful innovation, structured team-based training programs and a service model built on reliability and safety, we believe we can enable cardiac teams to adopt robotic-assisted surgery in a consistent, scalable and sustainable way.”

To support adoption of cardiac surgery with da Vinci 5, Intuitive has established a dedicated team focused on building infrastructure, including the development of bespoke training programs, clinical evidence generation, and cardiac-specific instruments and accessories. A limited number of U.S. sites will begin working with Intuitive through 2026 to establish da Vinci 5 cardiac programs.

Da Vinci 5 is now indicated for the following selected thoracoscopically-assisted cardiac surgical procedures using non-force feedback instruments:

  • Mitral valve repair 
  • IMA mobilization for cardiac revascularization
  • Patent foramen ovale closure
  • Atrial septal defect repair
  • Left atrial appendage closure/occlusion
  • Atrial myxoma excision
  • Mitral valve replacement
  • Tricuspid valve repair
  • Epicardial pacing lead placement

SEALSQ Demonstrates the Convergence of Post-Quantum Secure Physical AI and Robotics, Showcasing WISeRobot During the Davos Event

Geneva, Switzerland, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (“SEALSQ” or the “Company”), a global leader in semiconductors, PKI, and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) hardware and software solutions, today announced a live demonstration exploring its Post-Quantum Cryptography Robotic Concept during the Physical AI Roundtable held in Davos on the margins of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. The demonstration featured WISeRobot, developed in cooperation with its parent company WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT company, and illustrated the potential and need for post-quantum security to one day be embedded directly into physical AI and robotic systems.

As quantum computing continues to advance, many of today’s cryptographic standards are expected to become vulnerable. SEALSQ is proactively addressing this challenge by working on the integration of quantum-resistant algorithms and hardware-based roots of trust into robotic platforms, with the goal of ensuring long-term security, integrity, and trusted operation for AI-driven and autonomous systems deployed in real-world, often adversarial environments.

The demonstration leveraged WISeRobot.ch, an advanced robotics platform meant to illustrate how post-quantum security could eventually be anchored across the silicon, firmware, and system levels. During the roundtable, WISeRobot actively participated as a live, interactive presence, animating discussions by demonstrating secure digital identity, trusted human–machine and machine-to-machine interactions, cryptographically protected communications, and hardware-anchored trust in real time.

Physical AI, which is AI embodied in machines that perceive, decide, and act in the physical world, requires a fundamentally different security model than purely digital systems. SEALSQ is exploring and plans to address this by embedding trust directly into its secure semiconductors through hardware-based roots of trust, post-quantum cryptographic accelerators, secure key storage, and lifecycle management. Each Physical AI system could be provisioned at manufacturing with a unique, unclonable cryptographic identity protected inside secure hardware, enabling trusted boot, authenticated firmware and AI models, integrity attestation, and secure interaction with humans, infrastructure, and other machines.

By planning to integrate post-quantum cryptography directly into the semiconductor layer, SEALSQ aims to ensure that communications, commands, AI decisions, and software updates remain secure and authentic even in the presence of future quantum computers. This approach is intended to enable long-lived autonomous systems deployed today to remain resilient well beyond the expected arrival of practical quantum computing capabilities. During the Physical AI Roundtable, David Shrier, Professor of Practice at Imperial College London, described how artificial intelligence and quantum computing are set to converge, fundamentally reshaping how machines learn, reason, and optimize decisions. He emphasized that while quantum technologies will dramatically accelerate certain classes of computation, they will also amplify systemic risk unless AI systems, particularly Physical AI, are built on verifiable trust, secure identity, and resilient cryptographic foundations from the outset.

The human dimension of this transformation was further highlighted by Sol Rashidi, the world’s first Chief AI Officer, former Amazon and C-suite executive, best-selling author, and globally recognized AI anthropologist and workforce architect. Rashidi stressed that as AI expands into Physical AI, where machines interact directly with humans and the real world, human-centric requirements become non-negotiable. She underscored the need for AI systems to be transparent, accountable, explainable, and aligned with human values, noting that without embedded trust, security, and ethical guardrails, Physical AI risks eroding confidence rather than augmenting human capability.

During the same discussions, Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner of Cybersecurity Services at IBM, stated that quantum computers are expected to arrive as early as 2028 and confirmed that IBM is already prepared for this transition. These perspectives reinforced a shared conclusion among participants: the post-quantum era is approaching faster than previously anticipated, making immediate action essential to protect digital identities, AI systems, and autonomous machines from future cryptographic disruption.

The WISeRobot concept demonstrated at Davos illustrated how post-quantum-ready security can move from theory into operational reality, establishing a new benchmark for trusted autonomous systems in critical environments such as government, healthcare, smart infrastructure, and industrial automation. The demonstration highlighted how intelligent machines can be engineered to be secure by default, resilient by design, and fundamenally aligned with human-centric values.

“Robotics and AI are rapidly becoming part of our critical infrastructure,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ. “By conducting experiments with post-quantum cryptography in robotics and bringing this first concept to animate our Davos Roundtable, we are demonstrating how trust, security, and human-centric principles can be embedded into intelligent machines from the very beginning.

Jonathan Llamas, VP of Decentralized Strategy of WISeKey noted, “Building on this trusted hardware and post-quantum foundation, SEALCOIN extends the Physical AI stack by enabling a native settlement and accountability layer for autonomous machines. As Physical AI systems move from perception and decision-making to action in real-world environments, true autonomy requires the ability to settle value, enforce economic rules, and execute obligations without human intervention. SEALCOIN provides this missing layer, allowing certified machines to transact, compensate, and be economically accountable in a secure and auditable way. From a machine perspective, integrating settlement is the final step toward autonomy, enabling Physical AI systems not only to act securely, but to operate as independent economic agents within trusted human-defined boundaries.”

SEALSQ’s post-quantum robotics initiative reflects the Company’s broader commitment to developing and delivering quantum-ready technologies that protect digital identities, AI systems, and critical infrastructures worldwide, while contributing to global discussions on trusted artificial intelligence, technological sovereignty, and secure digital ecosystems in a quantum-enabled future.

  • Financial Summary: Purchased below replacement cost with a year-one yield of approximately 7%; expected unlevered IRR in the low teens.
  • Funding: Revolving line of credit.

SHOP Portfolio Composition:

LTC is enhancing the intrinsic growth profile of its portfolio by pairing top-tier operators with high-quality real estate built for long-term success.

  • SHOP Acquisitions: $360 million in 2025; $108 million year-to-date in 2026
  • SHOP as % of Gross Investment: 27%, up from 0% at May, 2025
  • Average Age of SHOP Properties: 9 years
  • Skilled Nursing as % of Gross Investment: 35%, down from 46% at year-end 2024

Well Positioned for Accelerating Growth

“This acquisition sets the tone for 2026,” said Dave Boitano, LTC’s Chief Investment Officer. “With SHOP now comprising 27% of our real estate portfolio and a robust pipeline in front of us, we’re positioned to scale quickly and convert that momentum into sustained NOI growth by continuing to add newer, high-quality assets while deepening our relationship with quality operators like Arbor.”

The Company’s portfolio includes nearly 190 properties throughout the United States.

WHY? As alleged in an underlying securities fraud class action complaint, Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNS), through certain of its officers, provided investors with materially false or misleading information concerning Varonis’ expected annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) for the fiscal year 2025. Defendants’ statements included, among other things, confidence in the Company’s ability to maintain ARR projections while converting both its federal and non-federal existing on-prem customers to the software-asa-service (“SaaS”) alternative offering. Such statements were made while failing to disclose material adverse facts concerning the true state of Varonis’ ability to convert its existing customer base; notably, that it was not truly equipped to convince existing users of the benefits of converting to the SaaS offering or otherwise maintain those customers on its platform, resulting in significantly reduced ARR growth potential in the near-term. When Varonis announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, disclosing a significant miss to ARR and reducing its projections for the full fiscal year 2025, the stock suffered a massive single-day decline of over 48%.
