SeqLL Inc. (SQL)
Lifesciences instrument and research company, SeqLL has seen its share price steadily rebound after hitting 52-week lows right before the New Year. It has been in the hot seat due to lower share prices, which have prompted warnings from the Nasdaq for continued listing. After getting a 180-day extension to meet the minimum, the market started reacting favorably to the stock. But this week’s news seems to have kicked things into overdrive, with SQL stock surging to over $1 during Tuesday’s premarket session.

In basic terms, the Semaphorin-4D antibody would target the cancer cells, and the epigenetic modulating agent would modify the activity of genes in the cancer cells. Ideally, it would lead to the death of the cancer cells. Where this could come to some importance is with Vaccinex’s Pepinemab.
It’s a monoclonal antibody targeting SEMA4D and is Vaccinex’s most advanced clinical candidate. It is currently being studied in clinical trials for head and neck cancer, Huntington’s Disease, and Alzheimer’s Disease. According to the company, Pepinemab also has future potential as a treatment for other cancers and neurodegenerative disorders like multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Rett Syndrome.
