Poly Shield Technologies Poised to Capitalize on High-Growth Market
 The global market for fluoropolymers is estimated to reach almost $9.5 billion by 2016, with an impressive compounded annual growth rate of 6.5 percent over the next four years. The reason for this growth is the increasing demand for the industrial material over several different end markets. Fluoropolymers, which could be characterized as a form of industrial-grade plastic, is incredibly versatile in its use, with industries such as automotive, solar, and fuel cells just to name a few. But most consumers are already familiar with fluoropolymers, with one form–polytetrafluoroethylene–sold by DuPont (DD) under the well-known brand Teflon. Dupont, along with Solvay and Daikin account for roughly half the market for roughly half that market. But while PTFE is a relatively mature market, lower volume fluoropolymers could be poised to experience robust demand from various industrial end markets. In the U.S. (more)…

Synthetic Biologics at the Forefront of Gene Therapy’s Comeback
 There is now growing renewed interest in gene therapy as several recent successful clinical trials have now overcome prior technical challenges in the space. Gene therapy involves treating disease by introducing new therapeutic DNA into a patient, which DNA is then capable of continuous local production of a therapeutic protein right where it is needed in the body. As such, gene therapy holds out the promise to not only treat, but in effect, cure many diseases. Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (SYN), which focuses on the development of synthetic DNA-based therapeutics and innovative disease-modifying medicines for serious illnesses, believes gene therapy is on the brink of a major technical breakthrough. The company is working on a synthetic DNA-based therapy for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and hopes to add additional synthetic DNA programs in the near-term.

IBAgreen’s Alternative For Clean Energy
 The U.S. economy’s heavy reliance on coal has been a hot-button issue during this election year. As President Barack Obama looks to alternative energy as a way to counter coal’s negative impact on the environment, his opponent Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has vowed more support for the coal industry. As the second largest producer of coal around the world, the U.S. has ample access to the energy source. The U.S. produces over a billion tons of coal each year, and nearly half of U.S. electricity is generated from coal. The drawback, however, is the environmental footprint that coal production leaves behind. Coal-fired electric power plants generate in excess of 150 million tons of fly ash annually, representing the second largest industrial waste stream in the nation. Coal ash is filled with heavy metals like mercury, arsenic, lead and selenium. (more)…

Galectin Therapeutics Looks to Pioneer New Industry in Medicine
 While modern medicine has progressed leaps and bounds in developing effective treatments for just about any form of human ailments, one area that still confounds scientists and doctors is the liver. Arguably the most complex and vital organ in the human body, with the exception of the brain, the liver is responsible for many functions that are essential to life. Yet, aside from transplant surgery, there is still no viable long-term solution to treat liver damage and failure caused by diseases such as various forms of hepatitis, results of alcohol abuse, and fatty liver disease. These conditions lead to liver fibrosis, which is the excessive formation of scar tissue on the organ, to the point that it causes dysfunction and medical complications. “When somebody has scarring of the liver there’s a very nihilistic view in medicine and healthcare because the (more)…
