NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage : The global oncology market is rapidly shifting toward smarter drug-delivery systems that enhance efficacy, reduce toxicity and improve patient outcomes. Traditional oral or IV drugs often face poor bioavailability and limited tumor targeting — a major bottleneck in cancer treatment success. Recent breakthroughs in nanomedicine are making headlines, as the FDA and global regulatory bodies increasingly endorse nanocarrier-based delivery for complex drugs. This surge underscores a larger industry trend: the race to improve how drugs reach and act within the body. Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc.’s (OTCQB: OTLC) ( profile ) Deciparticle(TM) platform exemplifies this shift. It offers a novel approach to increase the bioavailability and therapeutic index of existing cancer drugs, potentially transforming underperforming compounds into next-generation therapies.

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage : The AI revolution isn’t running out of processing power; it’s running out of electricity, and the race is on to find the next great source of clean, limitless energy. Data centers are devouring power faster than utilities can supply it, straining aging grids, driving up household energy bills and exposing a simple truth — the digital world needs a new source of real-world power. One breakthrough stands apart: natural hydrogen. According to the International Energy Agency (“IEA”), global data-center power consumption is projected to more than double by 2030, to roughly 945 terawatt-hours (“TWh”), and the subset of AI-optimized centers could quadruple over the same period. Meanwhile, in the United States, power demand from data centers may well double by 2035 as well, potentially consuming around 9% of national electricity demand. In short: Compute demand is outpacing expansion in grid capacity. This is why the big names in tech and capital are now racing to secure energy itself — and one of the most promising sectors in that energy race is natural (geologic) hydrogen . Enter MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) ( profile ). This first-mover North American public company is focused on commercial natural hydrogen. MAX Power controls approximately 1.3 million permitted acres in Saskatchewan, including the 200-km-long Genesis Trend , which lies adjacent to an existing industrial corridor and a proposed Hydrogen Hub, with multiple ranked targets. With its focus on providing energy for AI demand, MAX Power joins a group of leaders operating in the AI space, including NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), whose involvement spans…

It is no longer considered Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective (‘GRASE’) for parenteral or topical pharmaceutical use. The European Medicines Agency has already discouraged its use in injectable drugs, and the FDA previously removed it from topical antiseptics and hand cleansers over safety concerns… By developing KETAFREE(TM), NRx aims to provide a safer and fully compliant version of ketamine for both hospital and outpatient use, at a time when supply constraints and rising demand have challenged healthcare providers… Alongside the ANDA pathway for KETAFREE(TM), NRx is advancing NRX-100, a separate preservative-free ketamine product, under a New Drug Application (‘NDA’) for the treatment of suicidal depression, including bipolar depression.

Mega batteries are playing a critical role in the global transition from fossil fuels to renewable alternatives. While green energy sources are undoubtedly cleaner than fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, they are plagued by one major issue that could impact their rollout: intermittency . Unlike fossil fuels, which can generate energy at any time at very high efficiency, renewables are beholden to external factors such as weather and time, which determine the amount of clean energy they can generate.

The crypto market endured one of its most brutal days on record as a rapid sell-off erased more than $20 billion, sending shockwaves across digital asset trading platforms. The event, described by traders as the worst liquidation in crypto history, triggered widespread losses and renewed scrutiny of the market’s underlying structure.

As countries work to reduce pollution and meet their net zero targets by 2050, renewable energy sources like wind and solar power are growing fast. These clean energy options are essential for fighting climate change, but they come with one big problem: they do not produce electricity all the time. When the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing, power generation drops. This irregular flow of electricity often causes price swings and makes it harder to keep power grids stable.

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage : Artificial intelligence (“AI”) continues to transform healthcare innovation, with medical imaging emerging as one of its most promising frontiers. In breast cancer detection, where early identification often determines patient outcomes, AI-powered imaging technologies are pushing beyond the technical constraints of traditional mammography, tomosynthesis, and MRI. Globally, breast cancer remains the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women. The World Health Organization (“WHO”) reported that more than 2.3 million women were diagnosed, with approximately 670,000 losing their lives to the disease in 2022. In the United States, the American Cancer Society (“ACS”) estimates that 316,950 new invasive breast cancer cases will be identified this year alone. This urgent demand for faster, more accurate diagnostic tools is driving a surge of innovation across the imaging sector. Within this fast-evolving field, Izotropic Corporation (CSE: IZO) (OTCQB: IZOZF) ( profile ) is distinguishing itself with the IzoView Breast CT Imaging System, a purpose-built 3D imaging solution engineered to enhance cancer detection accuracy, particularly in women with dense breast tissue.
