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.

BioLife Sciences Inc. (“BioLife” or the “Company”) (OTCPK: BLFE) specializes in moving innovative products from the lab or small-scale production into broader market adoption. Its core business develops, licenses and distributes antimicrobial products and disruptive technology.
On the surface, BLFE appears much more complicated than it seems. The Company is a commercialization accelerator, licensor and developer of innovative and disruptive technologies for the healthcare, beauty and food and beverage sectors.
Current product focus includes copper infusion for antimicrobial product development and recently announced Hemp-based products.
BioLife aims to enrich the lives of our customers, communities and colleagues, and we know that we will not thrive unless the communities around us equally thrive. We conduct our business in a socially responsible and ethical manner with a strong focus on producing sustainable, locally made and ethically sourced products.
Copper Product Infusion
A visit to the site of copper mining giant Teck prominently discusses the very consumer antimicrobial product market BioLife is developing and growing, including;
· Phone Cases
· Socks
· Pens
· Pillowcases
· Skin Cream
· Combs
And likely the most significant growth area in the Copper and health area? Healthcare-acquired infections continue to be one of the leading causes of death in Canada, many innovative copper product in the works stands to make a significant impact in the years to come.
Copper Technology Closeology/Life Sciences Division
Copper ions are proven pathogen killers and have documented antimicrobial benefits.
If BioLife were a mine near a Teck property it could benefit through location ‘Closeology’ .’The direction of the two companies—one mammoth, one not, yet— could still share the term in a technology sense. And BLFE is way cheaper on a per-share basis.
One example is BLFE’s recent announcement of Microfiber Towel development which is forecast to be nearly USD$800 million by 2026, representing a modest yet solid 2.5% CAGR. Other markets will raise that growth significantly.
BioLife Copper-Infused Microfiber Towels are designed to provide an electrostatic charge that attracts even the most minor pieces of dirt, grease and moisture. The Copper then reinforces the cleaned area with antimicrobial shielding, providing long-lasting protection.
Development Association’s Antimicrobial Copper Alloys- Group 1 (EPA Reg. No. 82012-1), which is made of at least 95.6 percent copper, is now listed as a supplemental residual antimicrobial product for the coronavirus on the EPA website.
So as previously stated, the use of Copper is becoming pervasive and pretty much
mainstream. Companies like BLFE provide a proxy for various Copper sectors and potentially a merger or takeover candidate.
The Company is working apace to develop and release ‘disruptive’ copper products, which will, at some point, bring it more attention.
A planned listing on the OTCQB market will certainly help in that endeavour.
CBD Product Initiatives
The development will include THC-free products in medical products, beverages, creams, salves, efficacious supplements, superfood concentrates, nutraceutical formulations, and advanced orthomolecular and natural health products.
Nika Jaksic, COO of BioLife Sciences, stated, “We believe CBD sales will continue their strong upward trend with current e-commerce sales soon being joined by consumers returning to brick and mortar options, as the pandemic wanes and disposable incomes continue to rise. CBD and other cannabinoids found in the hemp plant are beneficial supplements, as evidenced by ongoing studies highlighting that we haven’t even begun to understand all these healing cannabinoids’ abilities and uses.”
Bottom Line
At the outset, we posited the growth of BLFE, which seemed and is wide-ranging but based on the simplicity of the health benefits of Copper infusion and as a product additive. The endorsement of Copper giants such as Teck mining adds serious credence to the potential of Copper use in countless life, pain and health-enhancing products.
Also, on June 2nd 2022, BLFE filed Form 1-A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking to raise $20 million under a Tier I Regulation A+ offering.
The Reg A+ filing was accepted by the SEC on July 15th, 2022, and is structured to raise $20 million through the sale of our common stock at a price per share between $.05 and $.50. The final price will be set once the offering statement has been qualified by the SEC. The money raised would fund and expand existing operations, payoff company debt and complete additional acquisitions.
At the very least, BLFE deserves a watch, if not a purchase. We’ll keep on it.
You should as well.
