Aptorum Group Limited and DiamiR Biosciences Corp Announce Publication of MicroRNA-Based Glioblastoma Biomarkers Using Blood Plasma Specimens Aptorum Group Limited and DiamiR Biosciences Corp. announced the publication of a paper by Giliberto, et. al. titled "Development of microRNA-Based Glioblastoma Biomarkers Using Blood Plasma Specimens" in Diagnostics, a peer-reviewed journal focused on clinical diagnostics and biomarker research. This study, conducted in collaboration with clinical researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, demonstrates the feasibility of detecting glioblastoma (GBM) — the most aggressive and lethal form of brain cancer — through a minimally invasive blood plasma test. The research identifies specific microRNA signatures in blood plasma that show significant promise as non-invasive biomarkers for glioblastoma diagnosis and monitoring. GBM is among the deadliest of all human cancers, with a median survival of fewer than 15 months following diagnosis. Current diagnostic approaches rely on invasive surgical biopsies or costly imaging procedures. DiamiR’s microRNA platform represents a potential paradigm shift, one that the company believe will enable earlier detection and improve patient monitoring through a simple blood draw.

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: US$8.96m This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (45% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (US$8.96m market cap). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Aankondiging • Oct 11
