DETROIT, April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ADTANCE, a leading international After-Sales Service technology platform provider for manufactures, industrial companies and mechanical engineering organizations, today announced its ADTANCE Support and Fieldstreaming solution has been optimized to work with the Starlink beta, an innovative high-speed, low-latency broadband satellite internet. The combined solution marks the first time multi-camera fieldstreaming video customer support is possible in locations where internet access is not currently available or reliable.

With Starlink, ADTANCE enables customer support technicians across the globe to provide multi-camera video assistance to users located in rural and remote areas, including the middle of the ocean, deep in a rainforest or inside an underground building where WiFi and mobile data connections are not possible.

Starlink, a division of SpaceX, is a satellite internet constellation that is not bound by traditional ground infrastructure and has been designed to deliver high-speed broadband internet to locations of the globe where connectivity has typically been a challenge. Starlink satellites are over 60 times closer to Earth than traditional satellites, resulting in lower latency and the ability to support services typically not possible with traditional satellite internet.

The demand for live remote video customer support, testing and training in has skyrocketed globally due to COVID-19 mandates combined with the shortage of highly skilled technicians available to work on increasingly complex machines. However, live remote support can be challenging for companies that have machinery located in remote areas, underground, at sea or in other areas where internet connections are not possible.

“Our customers operate in almost every continent – some in very remote areas where conventional mobile connection reaches its limits,” said Moritz Seger, Digital Transformation Manager at ZAHORANSKY AG and ADTANCE customer. “The ability to use Starlink in combination with the ADTANCE Support and Fieldstreaming solution is very promising for our company and our customers. This solution allows us to gain independence from internationally varying conditions and poorly developed mobile networks in rural areas. We already use ADTANCE solutions on a daily basis in our global customer service and with the combination of both solutions, we are well prepared for the future.”

“As a supplier of airfield tankers operating around the world in the most isolated areas, we rely on reliable and fast communication for our service,” said Nico Hanemann, Head of Aviation Department, for Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Esterer GmbH & Co. Fahrzeugaufbauten und Anlagen KG and ADTANCE customer. “The combination of the innovative remote assistance solution we already have in place with ADTANCE Support along with Starlink provides this capability and is also unbeatable in terms of cost.”

“With Starlink our customers will experience the best quality livestream customer support with nearly no latency anywhere in the world,” said Nils Arnold, CEO and co-Founder of ADTANCE. “Even in the middle of an ocean or deep in the rainforest it is possible to use our multi-camera fieldstreaming video assistance with a high speed internet connection. This means that every place can now be serviced remotely, even where there wasn’t internet access in the past.”

ADTANCE customers need to have Starlink installed in order to utilize it with the ADTANCE Support and Fieldstreaming solution. The Starlink beta is now available in most locales, with new regions being added on a regular basis.

ADTANCE Support and Fieldstreaming

The ADTANCE Fieldstreaming solution is the first live remote support software capable of connecting every type of camera to the system, including cameras within smartphones, tablets, computers, security cameras, drones and underwater Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs). ADTANCE Support users can live stream views of machines from various angles simultaneously– significantly improving live support, remote training and long distance collaboration in the field. The solution can be implemented by using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets or by wearing smartglasses.

About ADTANCE

ADTANCE is a leading international After-Sales Service technology platform provider for manufactures, industrial companies and mechanical engineering organizations. The ADTANCE Smart Service Platform is the only solution that digitizes the entire After Sales Service lifecycle from live remote support to predictive maintenance and resource planning.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Cannabis Applications Corp. (“GCAC” or the “Company”) (CSE: APP, FSE: 2FA, OTCQB: FUAPF), a leading medical cannabis chain-of-custody compliance, efficacy and data platform, today announced a definitive three-year software licensing agreement with Herb Industries Ltd. (“Herb”), a Malta based medical cannabis cultivator. Grams cultivated are forecast as 44M in 2022 and 66M in 2023.

GCAC is licensing its Citizen Green Efixii platform as part of Herb’s ‘technology farm’ for use in its cannabis compliance and consumer transparency. Herb’s advanced-growth-method handles all production lifecycles from genetics, cannabis nursery, onsite ISO laboratory and extraction. Licensed by the Maltese government, Herb’s 12,000 SQM facility’s manufacturing lines will export to other EU members’ markets for pharmaceutical, solids, semi solids, liquids, flowers, cosmetics and edibles.

GCAC’s Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) license model meets the needs of cultivators as they scale. Cannabis lifecycle steps are represented by GCAC’s Efixii QR-code which can be scanned by customs officials, regulators, medical professionals and consumers alike to ensure that products are what they claim to be. GCAC charges a one-time configuration fee of $12,500 (USD), $50 per registered employee per month for KYC/AML, an export fee of $75 per cannabis batch and a consumer Efficacy-QR-code fee of $75 per retail product; in total, these fees generate CDN$.20/gram with a further potential yield of CDN$.18/gram in future data sales.

“44M grams in 2022 and 66M grams every year thereafter is an absolutely massive revenue opportunity for us on a per gram basis” states GCAC’s CEO Brad Moore. “And, just as important is knowing that tens of thousands of EU consumers trust Efixii’s QR-codes to give them, and their families, comfort knowing what they are ingesting is the safest and best product for them, thereby cementing our efficacy commitment of better outcomes for all medical cannabis patients.”

The European cannabis market is the largest in the world, with a forecast CAGR of 67.4% set to value the market at €3.2 billion by 2025 [1]. The growth of the EU market since 2019 is attributed to consumer demand for CBD and the upgrading of regulations for medical cannabis. Key to meeting those regulations and building consumer confidence will be Herb’s use of the Efixii compliance platform. Efixii enables growers’ staff to record all events for cannabis cultivations, including mother plant, laboratory tests, shipment, processing and customs.

All of Efixii’s cannabis data is the intellectual property (“IP”) of GCAC. This IP creates an inherent difficulty in replicating or competing with GCAC’s medical cannabis datasets. GCAC defined their protocols in a provisional U.S. patent application, ‘System of Process and Tracking Cannabis Products and Associated Method Using Blockchain’ filed with the USPTO on Dec. 17, 2020.

– Highly accomplished attorney joins Sera to develop its legal and intellectual property functions –

SALT LAKE CITY, April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sera Prognostics, Inc., The Pregnancy Company™, focused on improving maternal and neonatal health by providing innovative pregnancy biomarker information to doctors and patients, today announced the appointment of Benjamin G. Jackson as General Counsel. Mr. Jackson joins Sera Prognostics to develop its internal legal and intellectual property capabilities, as Sera transitions from a rigorous scientific and data-driven clinical stage company into an emerging commercial-stage company.

For the last 15 years, Ben has represented Myriad Genetics, Inc., beginning as a law clerk, initially focusing on intellectual property, and ultimately advancing to become General Counsel of a global molecular diagnostics enterprise. Mr. Jackson is viewed as a thought leader who has written and presented extensively in the area of molecular diagnostics intellectual property, while also possessing broad experience in a wide range of legal matters, including patent and commercial litigation, M&A transactions, interactions with government and private payers, corporate legal policies and contracting.

“It is great to have the opportunity to be working again very closely with Ben Jackson, as Sera Prognostics commercially distributes pivotal pregnancy information to physicians and expectant mothers,” said Gregory C. Critchfield, M.D., M.S., Chairman and CEO. “I am convinced that Ben’s legal skills, business acumen and real-world experience in complex and weighty legal matters will help Sera to better achieve its vision of improving the health of mothers and babies and reducing the costs of healthcare delivery.”

“Sera has made great strides in building evidence that PreTRM^® testing improves the ability to identify pregnancies that are at higher risk of preterm delivery, thereby enabling proactive interventions designed to help address the immense burden of premature birth,” said Ben Jackson. “I am personally energized to join Sera, working with Greg and the rest of the talented Sera team to help drive the company’s progress to improve the lives of mothers and newborns. I believe Sera has great potential to help mitigate the enormous personal, societal and economic consequences of premature births and other adverse pregnancy consequences.”

About Sera Prognostics, Inc.

Sera Prognostics is the leading health diagnostics company dedicated to improving the lives of women and babies through precision pregnancy care. Sera delivers pivotal information in early pregnancy to physicians and expectant mothers, designed to enable them to improve maternal and neonatal health and reduce healthcare costs.

In addition to the PreTRM^® test, Sera has a robust pipeline of innovative blood-based biomarker tests focused on the early prediction of other serious complications of pregnancy. Sera Prognostics is located in Salt Lake City, Utah. For more information, please visit the company’s website at www.seraprognostics.com.

About Preterm Birth

Preterm birth is defined as any birth before 37 weeks’ gestation and is the leading cause of illness and death in newborns. The 2020 March of Dimes Report Card shows that of approximately 3.8 million babies born annually in the U.S., more than one in ten is born prematurely.¹ Prematurity is associated with a significantly increased risk of major long-term medical complications, including learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, chronic respiratory illness, intellectual disability, seizures, and vision and hearing loss, and can generate significant costs throughout the lives of affected children. The annual US health care costs to manage complications of prematurity were estimated to be approximately $25 billion for 2016.²

About the PreTRM^® Test

The PreTRM^® test is the only broadly clinically validated commercially available blood test that provides an early individual risk prediction for spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic, singleton pregnancies. The PreTRM^® test measures and analyzes proteins in the blood that are highly predictive of preterm birth. The PreTRM^® test permits physicians to identify, as early as 19 weeks of pregnancy, which women are at increased risk for premature delivery, enabling more informed clinical decisions based on each woman’s individual risk, so that her care can be personalized to address her risk. The PreTRM^® test is ordered by a medical professional. For more information about the PreTRM^® test, please visit www.PreTRM.com and the PreTRM^® Test YouTube Channel. You can also join the conversation on Facebook and @PreTRM.

Each deal has the potential to act as a pipeline for fighter talent as well as a revenue driver through both lease payments and ONE MORE Gym membership dues.

Team Colon MMA (TeamColonMMA.com) will be moving into the Company’s ONE MORE Gym location in East Chicago/Merrillville, Indiana, and Cobra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CobraBJJTuscaloosa.com) will be moving into the Company’s ONE MORE Gym location in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Between lease fees and increased membership dues, the Company believes these deals will drive an increase in overall topline revenues for ONE MORE Gym. In addition, given the prestige and success of both of these training outfits, the Company stands to gain long-term value in the form of top fighting talent graduating into its B2 Fighting Series LIVE MMA event segment.

That ultimately helps reinforce our brand value at both the gym and event levels while we believe it will help drive positive growth and revenue for ONE MORE Gym. It also gives Steve and Kurtis more space and resources to produce better fighters who could become feature stars on the B2 Fighting Series stage.”

The filed complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose to investors:

• SOS had misrepresented the true nature, location, and/or existence of at least one of the principal executive offices listed in its SEC filings;
• HY and FXK were either undisclosed related parties and/or entities fabricated by the Company;
• the Company had misrepresented the type and/or existence of the mining rigs that it claimed to have purchased; and (iv) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On February 26, 2021 Hindenburg Research (“Hindenburg”) and Culper Research (“Culper”) released commentary on SOS, claiming that the Company was an intricate “pump and dump” scheme that used fake addresses and doctored photos of crypto rigs to create an illusion of success.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Celularity Inc. (“Celularity”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, leading the next evolution in cellular medicine with the development of off-the-shelf allogeneic therapies derived from the postpartum human placenta, announced today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation to the company’s non-genetically modified cryopreserved human placental hematopoietic stem cell-derived natural killer (NK) cell therapy, CYNK-001, for the treatment of patients with malignant gliomas. CYNK-001 is currently being investigated in a phase 1 clinical trial (NCT04489420) for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an indication within the scope of this orphan designation.

“We are very pleased the FDA has granted Orphan Designation in malignant gliomas to continue to develop off-the-shelf therapies for serious unmet clinical needs,” said Robert J. Hariri, M.D., Ph.D., founder, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of Celularity. “Building on the FDA’s recent decision to grant Fast Track status to CYNK-001, we view the Orphan Drug Designation as yet another milestone on our journey to deliver patients a potentially novel treatment. To date, we have observed the potential of CYNK-001 in multiple preclinical models as well as early evidence of activity in the clinic and believe this approach may shift the paradigm in augmenting the body’s natural immune response to diseases such as glioblastoma, other cancer indications and infectious diseases. We are very excited to continue working with the FDA on the development of this exciting therapy.”

About Orphan Drug Designation

The Orphan Drug Act (ODA) encourages biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs for conditions which affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States by providing economic incentives. To qualify for orphan designation, both the drug and the condition must meet criteria specified in the ODA and FDA’s implementing regulations 21 CFR Part 316. Orphan designation qualifies the drug sponsor for development incentives including tax credits for qualified expenses, reduction in the FDA user fee, and seven years of exclusivity for a drug that obtains approval.

About Malignant Gliomas

Glioma is a type of tumor that occurs in the brain and spinal cord. Malignant gliomas consist of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, anaplastic oligoastrocytoma, anaplastic ependymoma, and anaplastic ganglioglioma. Malignant gliomas are associated with high morbidity and mortality. GBM accounts for the majority of malignant gliomas. Currently there are no effective long-term treatments for the disease. Patients with GBM usually survive less than 15 months following diagnosis. In most patients, the rapidly growing malignant tumor tends to recur within 6-8 months following treatment. Patients with recurrent GBM have even poorer prognosis. Therefore, malignant gliomas, such as GBM, are serious diseases with high unmet medical needs.

About CYNK-001 

Celularity’s lead therapeutic program based on its placental-derived unmodified NK cell type is CYNK-001, an allogeneic unmodified NK cell being developed as a treatment for hematologic malignancies, solid tumors, and infectious diseases.

About Celularity

Celularity, headquartered in Florham Park, N.J., is a clinical stage biotechnology company leading the next evolution in cellular medicine by developing off-the-shelf placental-derived allogeneic cell therapies, including unmodified NK cells, genetically-modified NK cells, T cells engineered with a CAR (CAR T-cells), and mesenchymal-like adherent stromal cells (ASCs) targeting indications across cancer, infectious and degenerative diseases. Celularity believes that by harnessing the placenta’s unique biology and ready availability, it will be able to develop therapeutic solutions that address significant unmet global needs for effective, accessible, and affordable therapies.

In January 2021, Celularity entered into a definitive merger agreement with GX Acquisition Corp. to create a publicly listed leader in allogeneic cellular therapy. GX Acquisition Corp. is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “GXGX.” Upon closing of the business combination, expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021, shares of the combined company will be listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “CELU.”
