Welcome to our dedicated page for ANEW MEDICAL news (Ticker: WENA), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on ANEW MEDICAL stock.
ANEW MEDICAL, INC. (Nasdaq: WENA) is a pioneering biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of transformative therapies aimed at alleviating and potentially reversing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. The company leverages cutting-edge cell and gene therapy techniques to address conditions such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Parkinson's Disease (PD).
Recently, ANEW MEDICAL announced a strategic partnership with renowned researchers from the Okinawa Research Center for Longevity Science (ORCLS) in Japan. This collaboration focuses on advancing ANEW's patented Klotho gene therapy, which has shown promising results in enhancing longevity and reducing age-related diseases. Preliminary data indicates that the alpha-Klotho gene may contribute to longevity and provide protection against neurodegenerative disorders.
ANEW MEDICAL's mission is to deliver innovative protein, cell, and gene therapies to address high unmet medical needs, particularly in the field of neurodegenerative and age-related disorders. The company holds a substantial portfolio of novel intellectual property and is actively advancing its clinical development efforts.
Dr. Joseph Sinkule, Chairman and CEO of ANEW MEDICAL, has highlighted the potential of the Klotho gene in treating neurological conditions, noting that higher blood levels of Klotho correlate with increased longevity, while lower levels are associated with premature aging and susceptibility to neurological disorders. The company's secreted form of the Klotho protein (s-KL) is expected to play a crucial role in developing effective treatments for these conditions.
The research partnership with ORCLS aims to assess blood levels of the Klotho protein to establish its role in promoting longevity and reducing the risks of neurodegenerative diseases, as well as other age-related disorders such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This collaboration is part of ANEW's broader research program focused on the extended life expectancy observed in Okinawa, Japan, a region known for a high concentration of centenarians who maintain good health.
ANEW MEDICAL, INC. (NASDAQ: WENA) has announced a strategic rebranding to Klotho Neurosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: KLTO), reflecting its focus on neurodegenerative therapies and healthy longevity. The company's core investments will be directed towards its patented Klotho gene technology assets in the neurosciences sector. Klotho Neurosciences will pursue two major market segments:
1. Development of innovative prescription drugs for neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus on ALS, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's using their proprietary s-KL gene therapy platform.
2. Research on healthy longevity using patented s-KL, collaborating with the Okinawa Research Center for Longevity Science to study Centenarians and validate clinical assays for early intervention in neurologic pathologies.
ANEW MEDICAL, INC. (NASDAQ: WENA) has announced two key goals for its cell and gene therapy development: enhancing healthy longevity potential and developing treatments for age-related and neurodegenerative diseases. The company has secured exclusive worldwide rights and patents for the secreted form of Klotho (s-KL), often called 'the anti-aging gene'. ANEW's hypothesis suggests that maintaining high Klotho levels leads to a long, healthy life, while depleted levels may cause neurodegenerative diseases.
ANEW plans to study blood samples from Okinawa centenarians, comparing them to a cohort with age-related disorders. The company has partnered with the Okinawa Centenarian Research Center for Longevity, including renowned scientists as advisors. ANEW aims to enter clinical trials soon and leverage its recent Nasdaq listing to expedite development of Klotho-based therapies.
ANEW MEDICAL, INC. (NASDAQ: WENA), a leading U.S. biotechnology company, has successfully converted its convertible promissory notes, eliminating over $4 million in long-term debt.

The debt conversion also eliminates $600,000 in annual interest payments.
The average conversion price was approximately $1.08 per share, reflecting investors' long-term commitment to the company. Jeffrey LeBlanc, ANEW's Chief Financial Officer, stated that this debt conversion demonstrates strong investor confidence in ANEW's growth potential and strategic direction. The newly achieved debt-free status provides ANEW with increased financial flexibility to invest more aggressively in its cutting-edge research and development of cell and gene-based treatments for aging and age-related diseases.
ANEW MEDICAL, INC. (Nasdaq: WENA) has signed an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Transfertech Sherbrooke (TTS) for Nanoject, a needle-free, freeze-dried nanopowder autoinjector for medicines and vaccines. This patented technology uses a miniature shock tube to deliver nano-sized or micron-sized particles of medicine at high speed into the skin. The company aims to offer both single-use disposable and reusable multi-dose devices.
ANEW's CEO, Dr. Joseph Sinkule, sees this as an opportunity to generate near-term revenue while advancing their early-stage human Klotho gene therapy program. The technology offers advantages such as improved storage at room temperatures, better long-term stability, and novel programmed time-released formulations. ANEW plans to focus on key therapeutic areas including pain, fertility medicines, growth hormones, erectile dysfunction, and vaccines.
ANEW MEDICAL (NASDAQ: WENA), a U.S. biotechnology company focused on cell and gene-based treatments for aging and age-related diseases, has appointed Jeffrey LeBlanc as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). LeBlanc replaces interim CFO Edward Cong Wang, who was previously the CFO of Redwoods Acquisition Corp, with which ANEW merged.
Dr. Joseph Sinkule, ANEW's Founder, Chairman, and CEO, praised LeBlanc's appointment, highlighting his over 20 years of experience in managing financial operations, launching new ventures, and achieving successful exits. LeBlanc's background includes investment roles at Greenlight Capital and GE Capital, as well as a stint at McKinsey and Co. He holds a BS in Chemical Engineering from MIT and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
