MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Feb. 25, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- AllPennyStocks.com Media, Inc. (http://www.AllPennyStocks.com/) announces its latest article by Glenn Wilkins, an AllPennyStocks.com News Reporter, this one discusses the Biotech / Medical sector, as well as some small cap companies that are making inroads in this sector.
The companies mentioned in the report include Cannasat Therapeutics Inc. (TSX-V:CTH), Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD) and Neuralstem, Inc. (AMEX:CUR).
Glenn Wilkins notes that an often overlooked but important and lucrative industry for investors is the Biotech/Medical sector. In this sector, the main focus is the well being of humans and animals. For companies, the payoffs can be huge if a large pharmaceutical company takes notice of them, or if their drug is approved by the FDA, Health Canada or any other countries governmental drug gatekeepers. Once a drug or medical technology is developed, pre-clinical trials are initialized. The companies then go through a series of trial phases, where the drug or medical technology is put to the test.
Toronto-based Cannasat Therapeutics Incorporated is taking on that risk, developing medicines derived from cannabis plants. That's right, marijuana. The company's flagship product, CAT-310, purports to take away the "buzz" of smoking pot that could otherwise produce anxiety in elderly patients. The company hopes for a piece of the $4-billion neuropathic pain market, normally the domain of the anti-convulsants and anti-depressant market.
Other exciting developments are due out of San Diego-based Aethlon Medical Incorporated. The company is a pioneer in developing medical devices to treat infectious diseases, which, last in November, filed with the U.S. Patent Office what it calls the Aethlon Hemopurifier(r), a device meant to separate and capture circulating viruses, viral proteins, and toxins in a patients body before the occurrence of cell and organ infection. The device allows the patients natural immunity to recover and wage an effective battle against viral infections.
Neuralstem, Inc., a company headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, also looks on the cusp of something special. The company develops technology to produce neural stem cells of the brain and spinal cord in commercial quantities.
