International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO)

International Stem Cell Corp. specializes in the therapeutic applications of human stem cells and the development and commercialization of cell-based biomedical products. The company was the first to develop and perfect a new class of human stem cells called parthenogenetic stem cells, created from unfertilized human eggs. ISCO has a strong patent portfolio offering clean intellectual property and freedom to operate. The company’s stem cells present superior immune matching capabilities and can be used in millions of people regardless of sex or racial background, with minimal expectation of immune rejection after transplantation.

The company’s human stem cells have been shown to be as pluripotent as embryonic stem cells, however their creation does not involve the destruction of a viable human embryo, which effectively sidesteps the controversy and ethical dilemmas associated with the use of human embryonic stem cells. In contrast to induced pluripotent stem cells, ISCO’s stem cells do not involve manipulation of cells’ genome thereby avoiding potential safety and regulatory obstacles in clinical applications.

The company's scientists are currently focused on using its stem cells 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 the unavailability of safe human cells. Once the technology has been clinically validated there are an essentially unlimited number of potential applications. Because of their immune-matching ability a relatively small number of these stem cell lines could offer the potential of producing the first true stem cell bank as a means of serving populations of different immune types across the globe.

In addition to its therapeutic focus, ISCO also provides a growing revenue stream through two wholly owned subsidiaries. Lifeline Cell Technology specializes in producing primary human cells and growth media for biological research, and Lifeline Skin Care, the company manufactures and markets advanced anti-aging skincare products utilizing the company’s expertise in stem cell biology.

Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. (MEEC)

Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. develops and delivers patented, cost-effective mercury capture systems and technologies to power plants and other coal-burning units in the United States and Canada. As a result of the company’s innovative, patented mercury removal technologies, customers can attain compliance with new, highly restrictive government emissions regulations, in the most effective and economical manner..

In 2011, the EPA issued its Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) for power plants. The new rule is intended to reduce air emissions of heavy metals, including mercury (Hg), from all major U.S. power plants. It is projected that the total national cost of this mandate will reach $9.6 billion annually. More than a dozen states have established even more stringent emission limits, further increasing demand for energy emission control technology

Leveraging its partnership with University of North Dakota’s Energy & Environment Research Center (EERC), the premier center of mercury control research, Midwest Energy Emissions is well positioned to meet and exceed new government regulations with its exclusive patent rights to EERC’s mercury control technology. The company’s customer-centric mercury capture solutions use a combination of materials tailored specifically to customers’ coal-fired units.

Years of research and testing with the EERC has enabled Midwest Energy to deliver one of the most effective low-cost and high-capture solutions possible – typically without impacting operations or requiring extensive capital equipment changes. The total mercury solution offered by Midwest Energy Emissions is uniquely formulated to optimize mercury capture at any coal-fired unit.
