Houston-Based Coya Therapeutics To Present Results From ALS Clinical Study Data For Its Investigational Biologic Combination at the 2023 MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference in Dallas

Coya Therapeutics Inc.

Coya Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: COYA) recently announced the presentation of results from an academic clinical study in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) with Coya’s proprietary investigational biologic combination at the 2023 MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference in Dallas, Texas, to be held in-person and virtually from March 19 to March 22, 2023. The proof-of-concept open-label clinical study is the first-of-its-kind evaluating a dual-mechanism immunotherapy for the treatment of ALS. Patients in the study received investigational treatment for 12 consecutive months and were evaluated for safety and tolerability, Treg function, serum biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation, and clinical functioning as measured by the ALSFRS-R scale. The dual-mechanism investigational biologic combination combines low dose Interleukin-2 that is intended to enhance anti-inflammatory regulatory T cell function with a fusion protein that is intended to suppresses pro-inflammatory cell function and has been designed to be administered subcutaneously to minimize treatment burden for patients and caregivers. ALS is a disease of the parts of the nervous system that control voluntary muscle movement. In ALS, motor neurons (nerve cells that control muscle cells) are gradually lost. As these motor neurons are lost, the muscles they control become weak and then nonfunctional, thus leading to muscle weakness, disability, and eventually death. ALS is the most common form of motor neuron disease. The study was conducted at the Houston Methodist Research Institute (Houston, Texas) by Stanley Appel, M.D., Jason Thonhoff, M.D., Ph.D., and David Beers, Ph.D. Dr. Appel is chair of Coya’s Scientific Advisory Board and is former chair of the Stanley H. Appel Department of Neurology. He is the director of the Ann Kimball & John W. Johnson Center for Cellular Therapeutics, Professor of Neurology at Weill Cornell Medical College, and the Peggy and Gary Edwards Distinguished Chair for the Treatment and Research of ALS at the Houston Methodist Research Institute. Presentation details are: Title: Novel Treg-modulating Immunotherapy Targets Inflammation in ALS. Date: Tuesday, March 21, 2023, at 11:00 am CST Conference: 2023 MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference ( https://www.mdaconference.org ) This article was originally published on Benzinga here. About Coya Therapeutics, Inc. Headquartered in Houston, TX, Coya Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: COYA) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing proprietary treatments focused on the biology and potential therapeutic advantages of regulatory T cells (“Tregs”) to target systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation. Dysfunctional Tregs underlie numerous conditions including neurodegenerative, metabolic, and autoimmune diseases, and this cellular dysfunction may lead to a sustained inflammation and oxidative stress resulting in lack of homeostasis of the immune system. Coya’s investigational product candidate pipeline leverages multiple therapeutic modalities aimed at restoring the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions of Tregs. Coya’s therapeutic platforms include Treg-enhancing biologics, Treg-derived exosomes, and autologous Treg cell therapy. Coya’s 300 Series product candidates, COYA 301 and COYA 302, are biologic therapies intended to enhance Treg function and expand Treg numbers. COYA 301 is a cytokine biologic for subcutaneous administration intended to enhance Treg function and expand Treg numbers in vivo, and COYA 302 is a biologic combination for subcutaneous and/or intravenous administration intended to enhance Treg function while depleting T effector function and activated macrophages. These two mechanisms may be additive or synergistic in suppressing inflammation. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

57% of Americans Can’t Cover A $1,000 Emergency With Savings—Here’s How You Can Prepare For Unexpected Costs And Build An Emergency Fund

DentalPlans.com

By Rachael Green, Benzinga According to the 2023 Bankrate survey, just 43% of Americans would be able to cover a $1,000 emergency expense with their savings. Even fewer would be able to cover their full living expenses for at least one month if they unexpectedly lost their primary source of income. For many, inflation and unemployment are the key factors preventing them from saving as much as they would like. But having an emergency fund is an important safety net to ensure that unexpected car repairs, medical emergencies, or job losses don’t completely derail your financial future. Here’s how to figure out how much you should have in your emergency fund and some other tips for protecting yourself and your family from financial hardship. Why Should You Have An Emergency Fund? No matter how much you earn, every household is bound to face an unexpected but unavoidable expense now and then. An emergency fund acts as a safety net so that when those emergencies happen, you can pay for them without going into debt or being forced to make tough financial decisions like tapping into your 401k or downsizing your lifestyle. Typically, the costs an emergency fund is supposed to cover include: Unemployment. Even if you have unemployment insurance, it doesn’t replace your full income. An emergency fund can help cover the gap while you look for another job. Urgent medical procedures Emergency home repairs, like a new roof or foundation repairs that you can’t afford to ignore. Unexpected car repairs Sudden death or disability How Much Should You Save In Your Emergency Fund? Common wisdom states that each household should have somewhere between three to six months’ worth of expenses set aside as an emergency fund. To calculate, you can include only your absolutely essential expenses for the month like rent, utilities, and groceries. If those essentials add up to $2,000 each month, then you should save $6,000 to $12,000 in an emergency fund. If that amount seems unattainable, set a more realistic goal for yourself to start because the bottom line is any emergency savings are better than nothing. Just keep adding what you can to it. Other Ways To Prepare For Emergencies In addition to setting money aside in an emergency fund, you can also better prepare yourself for emergencies by taking steps to either prevent them from happening in the first place or lowering the cost when they do. Here are some high-impact strategies for keeping your unexpected costs down: Keep Up With Home And Car Maintenance Putting off oil changes and ignoring your check engine light can end up costing you $8,000 or more in major engine repairs later and shorten your vehicle's lifespan by as much as 50,000 miles. Putting off annual home inspections and maintenance can lead to similarly hefty repair costs down the road. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck and avoiding these routine costs because you just don’t have the cash, there’s a lot you can learn to DIY, like oil changes and filter replacements. Join a Dental Savings Plan One of the biggest unplanned expenses people face is emergency dental work. According to the National Institute of Health, 90% of U.S. adults have some untreated decay in their teeth. But with 77 million Americans living without dental insurance and millions more with limited coverage that rarely covers the cost of even one major dental procedure, many put off treatment because it’s just too costly. With root canals costing anywhere between $1,000 and $4,350 and dentures as expensive as $28,000, even those with a healthy emergency fund can end up taking a huge hit if they need urgent dental care. Fortunately, there is a way to avoid draining your emergency fund or going into debt to take care of your teeth: a dental savings plan. Dental savings plans are membership programs that allow plan members to save 10% to 60% on virtually all dental procedures ranging from routine cleanings to more expensive treatments like root canals and dentures. Those steep discounts can turn an unexpected dental emergency into a much more affordable procedure. Plan members can also get similar discounts on preventative care to lower the risk of needing that more expensive work. Many plans even offer savings on cosmetic and restorative care that may not be covered by your dental insurance. No annual limits (save every time) and no restrictions based on health conditions. To get the discounted prices, you simply have to join a plan that includes the procedure you need and is accepted by a dentist near you. Then, show your membership card to that dentist, and you’ll be billed the lower rate. With over 140,000 dentists participating in a dental savings plan nationwide, it’s easy to find one in your area. On DentalPlans.com, for example, you can search a marketplace of thousands of dental savings plans and filter by location, procedure, or dentist to find one that meets your needs. You can also find plans that offer discounts on vision care and prescription medications to cut costs further. Consider Life Insurance And Disability Insurance In the case of sudden death or disability, even a 3-6-month emergency fund may not be enough to cover the lost income—especially after you factor in funeral expenses or, in the case of disability, the cost of medical care. A life insurance or disability insurance policy can protect your family from financial hardship in those worst-case scenarios. Visit DentalPlans.com for more information.

AI Can Now Create Customizable Recipes – Here’s How A Robotic Food Automation Company Has Been Using AI To Become An Industry Leader

Blendid

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is quickly proving to be a driver of innovation and efficiency and is fast becoming a normal part of life. In November 2022, tech and news outlet CNET started using AI to write financial articles. The articles were so well-written that the vast majority of the public didn’t realize until a tweet went viral. AI technology is rapidly expanding, and some companies like Blendid have looked to ensure they are ahead of the curve, having made early deployments of AI in their solutions. Whether for restaurant owners or at-home cooks, finding or creating the perfect recipe is a big undertaking. Not only do they have to craft a perfect blend of flavors, but they also have to figure out what they and their customers enjoy.

Blendid has even gone one step further and is developing a feature to use AI to create customized individual recipes. While this feature is currently only available at the lab, the company is seeing incredible feedback from test subjects and is looking forward to bringing it to the public in the near future. This feature could be especially groundbreaking because it will allow the robot-automated kiosks to create curated recipes for consumers that appeal to their taste preferences while taking into account any allergies and dietary restrictions. In the future, Blendid plans to align its AI-driven recipes with consumers’ personal microbiomes, satisfying both the gut and their taste palate. Blendid reports that its technology-driven model is performing extremely well. In combination with kiosks that can operate 24/7, consumers have access to healthy and personalized food around the clock while the company is able to maintain low operational costs and high margins.

CleverTap’s Fintech Benchmark Report: Only 1 in 5 users that install fintech apps sign up within week one

CleverTap

CleverTap, the modern integrated retention cloud, released its Industry Benchmark Report for Fintech Apps 2022. As fintech apps continue to grow more popular, the number of players vying for market share has increased. This has subsequently reduced customer retention and “stickiness” for any one brand. Therefore, today more than ever, it is crucial that fintech companies find ways to drive customer “stickiness” by engaging users in effective ways that eventually drive transactions and fuel growth. The report reflects data collected from Asia-Pacific, Europe, India, Latin America, Middle-East, and North America. The report gives marketers a truly holistic view of key metrics within the fintech app landscape.It also spans a wide variety of fintech apps, including, but not limited to, mobile payment apps, cryptocurrency, and block chain services, along with banking and insurance among others. These insights will not only serve as a helpful starting point for developing successful engagement strategies, but also assist in understanding how an app fares in comparison to global averages. Some of the key metrics in the report include: Install to sign-up rate: Only 1 in 5 users that install fintech apps (21%) end up signing up within the first week. Average time to sign-up: 70% of the users that sign-up, do so within 75 seconds of launching the app for the first time. Sign-up to conversion rate: 95% of newly signed-up users make at least one financial transaction in the first month. Average time to convert: 76% of newly signed-up users move from onboarding to deeper-in-the-funnel engagement within an average of 7 days. Session frequency: On average, fintech app users launch their app around 11 times a month. Average repeat transaction rate for new users: 15% of newly signed-up users complete more than one transaction in the first week. Average click-through rate for push notifications: On average, 9% of Android users and 6% of iOS users will click on and interact with push notifications. Average click-through rate for in-app notifications: The click-through rate for in-app notifications is 24%, that’s about 3 times more than that of push notifications. Average email open rate: 34% users open emails sent by fintech companies Average Stickiness Quotient: Fintech apps enjoy a stickiness quotient of 22%, that indicates nearly one-quarter of MAUs consistently return to their fintech apps “The fintech industry has seen exponential growth in the last few years. Given the relentless competition within the space, fintech platforms need to step up their Omnichannel engagement efforts to better retain customers,” said Jacob Joseph, VP-Data Science, CleverTap. “The benchmark metrics laid out in our report provide a great starting point for growth marketers looking to develop effective marketing strategies. They will be able to compare numbers against global averages and pinpoint which aspects they are excelling at and which areas could use some attention or innovation.” 95% of new fintech users complete a monetary transaction in the first month. This shows that while users see value in fintech apps, it’s important to adopt customized user engagement strategies to boost retention on the platform. Today there is a real need for fintech brands to bake-in effective marketing strategies within their apps. Users will remain responsive as long as the experience is engaging and seamless. The benchmark report helps fintech apps understand how to build successful mobile communication campaigns, and also allows growth marketers to discover areas that require greater focus.
