International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO)

International Stem Cell Corp. is a California-based biotech company developing novel stem cell-based therapies based on the company’s core technology, parthenogenesis. Utilizing this technology, ISCO has produced pluripotent human stem cells from unfertilized human eggs to create the first parthenogenetic, homozygous stem cell line that can be a source of therapeutic cells for hundreds of millions of individuals, regardless of gender, age or racial background with minimal immune rejection after transplantation.

For now, ISCO scientists are focused on applying its technology to treat severe unmet medical needs of the central nervous system (Parkinson’s disease), the liver, and the eye, where cell therapy has been clinically proven but is limited due to adequate availability of safe human cells. Upon clinical validation of the technology, there are an essentially unlimited number of potential applications. ISCO's scientists are also making significant advances in human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) derivation with a novel protein-based reprogramming method that is a safer and more efficient alternative to cell reprogramming. The company is currently working toward shortening the cell reprogramming step to as little as one week, as compared to the traditional six-week time frame.

ISCO also produces and markets specialized cells and growth media for therapeutic research worldwide through its subsidiary Lifeline Cell Technology (LCT) (www.lifelinecelltech.com), and stem cell-based skin care products through its subsidiary Lifeline Skin Care (LSC) (www.lifelineskincare.com).

Most recent sales figures (Q3 2013) were $1.7 million, up 41% from $1.2 million in Q3 2012. Sales for LCT were $860,000, up 30% year-over-year, while LSC revenues increased to $810,000, up 54% over the corresponding period in 2012. The company also decreased its loss from operations by 18 percent to $1.7 million, compared to a loss of $2.1 million in the same period in 2012.

Neutra Corp. (NTRR)

Neutra Corp. is a multi-faceted early-stage research and development company that’s bringing modern healthy living solutions to various multi-billion dollar markets. Cutting-edge technologies within the nutraceuticals, food and drug, and environmental purification sectors are creating a new kind of world culture—one where consumers are demanding access to products that promote health and stave off potential health dangers.

The company’s current product portfolio includes a variety of offerings within the rapidly growing nutraceuticals, food and drug, and environmental sectors. Neutra has established several joint-venture partnerships, and through a joint venture with Air to Surface Solutions, LLC, the company is in developing a new technology to address the problems of plant contaminations and dangerous staph infections (MRSA) among athletes. Neutra is focused on the commercialization of newer, more effective products that eliminate bacteria from the air and tangible surfaces and aims to capitalize on a worldwide boom in these products.

Scientists recently found that topical cannabinoid-based preparations can be effective against MRSA, the deadly antibiotic-resistant flesh-eating disease. Neutra is exploring the potential to bring these therapeutic remedies to the global market. Medicinal cannabis is used to provide relief for patients suffering from the side-effects of chemotherapy and other invasive treatments, as well as pain relief from a range of neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Neutra has established a partnership with the exclusive Canadian distributor of Purteq. This revolutionary technology is designed to control indoor air contamination, the subsequent microorganism infestations and allergens, and to prevent the spread of diseases such as influenza. Purteq is a patent-pending green technology that works similar to photosynthesis. The product utilizes UV-blue light and water in the air and converts them into microscopic amounts of water, carbon dioxide, and harmless bi-products. This proven technology controls air quality in businesses and homes and opens the path for Neutra to participate in the burgeoning North American air purification market, which is forecast to reach $4.8 billion by 2017.

The global nutraceuticals product market is projected grow to $204.8 billion by 2017. Neutra is positioned for this market with its Pure Plus all-natural weight-loss supplement. The product is based on the company’s groundbreaking Bio-Energy infusion compound, designed to enhance the effects of a supplement’s ingredients to help supercharge the body’s natural weight-loss process and work more quickly and effectively than competing products.

Neutra’s mission is to deliver the highest quality consumer healthy living products while continuing to seek breakthrough advances in the healthy living market.
