Unfortunately, war is the daily media lead. We get the numbers of dead and injured for each conflict. You might consider those just injured as ‘lucky’ if you’re like me. Au contraire. Familiar issues are traumatic brain and spine injuries. Alongside lost limbs and wounds caused by bomb debris and emotional symptoms such as PTSD and depression that may persist for years, sometimes a lifetime. (Xaigham.com)
For life-saving technologies, war has unfortunately become a growth sector. I take no pleasure in saying that.
A sudden, traumatic blow to the spine (tSCI) can fracture, dislocate, crush or compress one or more of the vertebrae. A gunshot or knife wound that penetrates and cuts the spinal cord also can cause a spinal cord injury. Additional damage usually occurs over days or weeks.
The global Spinal Cord Trauma Treatment market was valued at US$ 2458.9 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 3009.4 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 2.9% during the forecast period. The influence of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine War were considered while estimating market sizes.
The current Middle East conflict was not included. Unfortunately, those projected growth numbers could rise significantly.
While I am using the wars and conflicts as examples of the growth of the traumatic injury market, it was already significant and this is just the US.
The question arises: how is this issue addressed? There are myriad companies, large and small, looking for answers.
TORONTO and HAIFA, Israel, Jan. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NurExone Biologic Inc. (TSXV: NRX) (FSE: J90) (NRX.V) (the “Company” or “NurExone”), a biopharmaceutical company developing biologically-guided exosome therapy for patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries.
How does it work? Stay with me; it’s pretty straightforward.
Part One: Active Ingredients
Exosomes: Exosomes, also known as extracellular vesicles, are nano-sized, naturally occurring particles in the body, secreted by cells. Exosomes, also known as extracellular vesicles, are nano-sized, naturally occurring particles in the body, secreted by cells. Can be administered non-invasively, intranasally
Part Two: Delivery
ExoTherapy: Exosomes, loaded with therapeutic molecules, cross the blood-brain barrier and reach cells and tissues for regeneration, rewiring and recovery.
Part Three: Effect
SiRNA-PTEN: The suggested PTEN inhibition-based therapeutic targets are nerve growth and regeneration after injury or damage, treatment of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion and associated disease, wound repair, and infertility.
The goal is to reverse this traumatic brain trauma as well as develop other health issues such as depression—no small accomplishment. The US FDA has granted NRX Orphan Drug Status.
The Orphan Drug Designation program provides orphan status to drugs and biologics for rare diseases that meet specific criteria. Orphan drug designation provides incentives, including:
“Orphan-drug designation is expected to streamline our go-to-market, shorten our regulatory process, save the Company millions of dollars, and provide valuable market exclusivity. We appreciate the formal recognition of the potential impact of our therapy on the lives of patients suffering from acute spinal cord injuries,” said Dr. Shaltiel, CEO of NurExone Biologic, Ltd.
The Company also holds an exclusive worldwide license from Technion and Tel Aviv University for developing and commercializing the technology.
This technology is not only promising but appears well destined for success. In their totality, the current NRX out-front therapies could bring much relief to those seriously ‘injured’ patients who live with chronic pain and myriad challenges daily.
NurExome is a cutting-edge medical technology company. While trading has been modest, it paints a positive investment picture for the previously reasons stated. Will it pop tomorrow? No. That I can guarantee.
A savvy plan would to be to approach as a dollar-cost average investment. The deeper you dig, the more potential will become apparent.

Swarmio Media (SWRM.CN), a gaming & technology company that provides products and services designed to help gamers make the most out of their hobby, recently released a video explaining the future of entertainment. Moreover, the company announced several agreements through partnerships and funding to expand its operations while improving its balance sheet.
Swarmio Media (SWRM.CN) was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. The company aims to help gamers get the most out of their technical and social hobbies. Swarmio has many programs and platforms, such as:
-Ember: a digital hub that builds global gaming communities, providing gamers with access to competitive challenges and tournaments, exclusive gaming content, and more services;
-Lagless: a high-performance gamer network solution for reducing latency;
To operate these solutions, the company provides several SaaS (Software as a service) products that help telecommunication companies monetize their userbase and helps gamers engage with the games they love. On September 12, Swarmio Media announced it signed a telco wholesale distribution agreement with Apelby communications to target the European, African, and Latin American markets. It is a key partnership because Latin America is the world’s fastest-growing market, while 70% of the population remains unbanked or underbanked. Meanwhile, in Africa, the population of gamers has more than doubled over the past five years, mainly due to the proliferation of smartphones, and 57% of the population still doesn’t have a bank account.
“Entering into this Agreement with Apelby Communications provides another leg to our continued growth in key gaming markets. We welcome Apelby’s vote of confidence in our strategy of building a premier global online gaming and esports hub through strategic telecom partnerships. We look forward to working closely with them as we continue to launch the Ember platform in new markets worldwide.”
Vijai Karthigesu, CEO
Swarmio Media will enable the purchase of in-game items with telco mobile payments to up to 2 billion gamers in Asia, MENA, Africa, and Latam. From users paying for a monthly subscription ($3 to $5 per month), Swarmio will share between 20% to 50% of the revenue with telcos. The company aims to convert 25% of its users and keep 4% of paying users for an average spend of USD $10 per user per month. According to the company’s plans, it could generate $10M in monthly revenue for up to 250M users in 2022.
On August 24, the company announced some moves to reduce its debt. Swarmio Media announced it received $802k in secured debt from various private lenders. The terms of the agreement specify the obligation is repayable on demand by the lenders at any time on or after the earlier of (i) November 30, 2022, or (ii) the date on which the company closes an equity financing with gross proceeds of at least US$2,000,000. In the meantime, lenders received common share purchase warrants entitling them to acquire an aggregate of 8M shares at $0.05 per share for up to 5 years. The net proceeds will be used for short-term working capital and general corporate purposes.
More recently, Swarmio Media announced on September 15 an initial strategic investment of USD $1M convertible not from Apebly Communications at a cap price of USD $30 market capitalization. This new financing will help the company to support the launch of Swarmio’s proprietary gaming and esports platform in new markets, including Europe, Africa, and LATAM. Additional investments from Apelby may follow it. In return for the funds advanced and to be advanced, Swarmio will issue an unsecured convertible note having a 1-year term from the date of issue and bearing interest at 10% per annum. Other conditions apply to the agreement.
“We view this as not just an investment but the beginning of a mutually beneficial partnership, allowing Apelby and our telco partners to tap into the massive $200 billion global gaming market. More than a third of the global population is already online gaming. However, there is still a lot of growth as smartphones and internet connectivity become more available. We’re grateful for this opportunity to provide extra value to our telco clients and their customers who love gaming.”
Michal Kutzendorfer, Chairman and Founder of Apelby
The company is only valued at ~10M, which looks incredibly low compared to the company’s market potential. The stock price was hovering above its 52-week lows of $0.04 and bounced back to a 72% increase Month-over-Month. Many technical indicate the stock is a BUY with 12 BUYS, 9 NEUTRALS, and 5 SELLS signals. The company had 110M shares outstanding, with 8.3M options (avg. price: $0.3463) and 2.5M warrants (avg. price: $0.148). Insiders own 34% of the total share structure.
Regarding financials, Swarmio Media made the right moves because, according to the company’s latest financial statement for the period ending June 30, the company had $234k in cash, $1.2M in total current assets, for $2.7M in total liabilities.
Despite Swarmio Media’s decrease in valuation, the company worked backstage to have firm foundations. The recent partnership with Apelby, combined with the company’s funding, should buoy the company’s revenue. SWRM seems to be a substantial investment for the future.
