Telomir Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TELO) announced new in vitro data showing that Telomir-1 (Telomir-Zn) induced broad tumor cell mortality across biologically distinct subtypes of triple-negative breast cancer, with iron-rescue experiments confirming the effect is iron-dependent and linked to the drug’s proposed intracellular metal-modulating mechanism. The company said supplemental iron significantly attenuated tumor cell mortality, supporting that Telomir-Zn reduces labile redox-active iron while increasing zinc availability, targeting the elevated iron levels and oxidative stress observed in many triple-negative breast cancer tumors.

BioMedWire Editorial Coverage: Biotech dealmaking is increasingly defined by a clear strategic shift: Pharmaceutical companies are prioritizing de-risked, late-stage assets with human clinical validation rather than speculative early-stage programs. After years of capital flowing into preclinical platforms with uncertain timelines, investors and acquirers are gravitating toward programs with established safety and efficacy data that can accelerate commercialization pathways. This evolving landscape naturally places companies such as Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC) ( Profile ), which holds multiple clinical-stage and late-stage programs across oncology and central nervous system (“CNS”) indications, into focus as strategic assets aligned with current M&A priorities. The company just announced key advancements in its global intellectual property portfolio supporting OT-101, its proprietary TGF-β antisense therapeutic platform. The advancements strengthen protection across neurology, oncology and central nervous system (“CNS”) drug delivery designed to delivery drugs into the brain by getting through the blood brain barrier. This M&A trend bolsters Oncotelic Therapeutics’ position in the oncology and CNS sectors as the OTLC joins other companies focused on the space, including Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Inc . (NASDAQ: ARWR), MeiraGTx Holdings plc (NASDAQ: MGTX), Supernus Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: SUPN) and…

As this modality gains attention for its precision and safety profile, Soligenix (NASDAQ: SNGX) is developing light-activated therapies designed to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (“CTCL”) and other inflammatory skin diseases using targeted photodynamic mechanisms that aim to improve outcomes while minimizing systemic toxicity.

While people have been quick to blame health insurers for the skyrocketing cost of health care in the U.S., the reality of the situation is more nuanced, and other factors have played a much bigger role in driving up costs. We explore some of those less-reported drivers of the high cost of health care in the country.

Oragenics (NYSE American: OGEN), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing brain-targeted therapeutics using proprietary intranasal delivery technology, today outlined targeted milestones for 2026 as it advances ONP-002, a novel intranasal neurosteroid, toward Phase 2 clinical development. The Company is preparing to initiate a Phase 2a clinical trial of ONP-002 in Australia for the treatment of concussion and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), positioning the candidate as a potential first-in-class pharmacological therapy for a large and underserved global market following positive preclinical and Phase 1 safety and efficacy results.

A planned preclinical study testing a light-activated therapy that helps to kill residual brain cancer cells after a patient has undergone surgery to remove a tumor has elicited excitement as it could provide a way forward in eliminating microscopic cancer tissue that surgeons are unable to see while surgically removing a cancerous tumor from the brain.

TransCode Therapeutics (NASDAQ: RNAZ) announced the submission of an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application amendment to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a planned Phase 2a clinical trial of its lead candidate, TTX-MC138, to be conducted by Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative within the PRE-I-SPY program. The dose-expansion study is expected to enroll up to 45 colorectal cancer patients who have completed standard curative-intent therapy and test positive for circulating tumor DNA (“ctDNA”), a marker associated with minimal residual disease (“MRD”) and cancer recurrence, with the trial planned to begin in the first half of 2026 under the leadership of Dr. Paula Pohlmann of MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Telomir Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TELO) announced new cellular study results showing that Telomir-1, administered as Telomir-Zn, induces a rapid and coordinated redistribution of intracellular metals, simultaneously increasing zinc levels while reducing redox-active ferrous iron in living cells. The company said the findings extend its previously reported iron-reduction data by demonstrating, for the first time, a coupled intracellular metal-modulating mechanism rather than simple extracellular chelation, supporting a potential upstream approach to addressing oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic instability, and genomic damage associated with cancer and aging.

In the microcap market, capital formation is often synonymous with dilution. Companies raise money by issuing new shares, frequently at the expense of long-term shareholders, creating a cycle where growth in operations does not translate into growth in per-share value. Against that backdrop, capital discipline itself becomes a differentiator, and increasingly, a signal of management intent.

Despite decades of progress in oncology, many cancers remain resistant to treatment, not because therapies are unavailable, but because tumor cells adapt. Immunotherapies and chemotherapies can produce meaningful responses, yet durability and consistency remain challenges, particularly in aggressive or rare cancer subtypes. Increasingly, research is shifting toward approaches that improve how well existing treatments work, rather than introducing entirely new drugs.
