JERUSALEM, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCNI) ("Scinai" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company operating a growing contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO") alongside an immunology-focused therapeutic development platform, today announced the closing of its previously announced private placement of 2,458,334 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof), each ADS representing 40,000 ordinary shares, together with Series A-1 Warrants to purchase up to 3,687,501 ADSs (the "Private Placement").

In addition, the Company has closed the previously announced immediate exercise of warrants to purchase up to 879,194 ADSs (the "Existing Warrants") at a reduced exercise price of $1.20 per ADS and issuance of additional Series A-1 Warrants to purchase up to 1,318,791 ADSs (the "New Warrants").

With the transactions now closed and proceeds received, the Company intends to use the net proceeds, together with its existing cash resources, to advance current customer programs, pursue additional CDMO contracts and continue selective investment in its immunotherapy pipeline.

"Completing this financing, alongside our recently announced CDMO agreement, strengthens our ability to execute customer programs, develop our CDMO platform and selectively advance our immunotherapy pipeline," said Amir Reichman, Chief Executive Officer of Scinai. "The recent CDMO agreement establishes a framework for an integrated program with successive phases, and we are looking towards the later work packages to become committed as the program progresses.

"Based on our current operating plan and budget, existing cash resources, net financing proceeds and expected cash collections under committed customer orders and our broader CDMO sales plan, we estimate an operating runway to late 2027. Activation of the later phases, together with the associated cash receipts and after accounting for their delivery costs, could extend that runway into 2028. Both estimates depend on achievement of our sales and collection assumptions, timely customer payments and successful execution, and remain subject to customer termination rights and changes in our plans and costs. We may consider financing opportunities from time to time to support our strategic objectives, pursue growth opportunities or address evolving business needs."

The aggregate gross proceeds from the private placement and the warrant inducement transaction were approximately $4.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and expenses. These proceeds exclude any future proceeds from the exercise of the newly issued Series A-1 warrants.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as the sole placement agent for the transactions.

ABOUT THIS OFFERING

The ADSs issued upon exercise of the Existing Warrants have been registered for resale pursuant to the Company's effective registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-295698). The ADSs and warrants issued in the private placement, the New Warrants and the securities underlying those warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or applicable state securities laws.

Dorman Long Engineering: Advancing Nigeria's Local Content Agenda Through Industrial Capability

Dorman Long Engineering: Advancing Nigeria's Local Content Agenda Through Industrial Capability

LAGOS, Nigeria, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nigeria's local content story has evolved significantly over the past two decades. What began largely as a regulatory response to the country's dependence on foreign multinationals, imported expertise and overseas fabrication has developed into a more deliberate strategy for building domestic capability. The focus is no longer simply on increasing Nigerian participation in the oil and gas industry. It is increasingly about developing resilient businesses, strengthening technical expertise and expanding the industrial capacity required to deliver complex projects locally.

For years, international operators such as Shell, Chevron and ExxonMobil played a central role in shaping the pace and scale of exploration, production, and export activities in Nigeria. As local participation expanded, however, the focus increasingly shifted beyond simply having Nigerian companies involved to developing the technical skills, infrastructure and industrial capabilities needed to retain more of the value chain within the country. The passage of Nigeria's Local Content Act in 2010 formalised this direction, creating a framework for greater participation by Nigerian companies and professionals in the oil and gas industry.

Today, Nigerian companies are fabricating major components, supplying equipment and services, training engineers and technicians, and taking on increasingly complex work across the energy value chain. This progress is reflected in data from the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), which reported that Nigerian Content reached 56% at the end of 2023, up from less than 5% in 2010. The Board has also reported that implementation of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act has created over 50,000 direct jobs and enabled more than $8 billion in annual oil and gas expenditure to be retained within the Nigerian economy.

This progress raises a more important question for the next phase of Nigeria's industrial development: What happens when local content moves from a requirement for participation to a platform for building lasting national capability?

This is a challenge that other resource-producing countries have also sought to address. Brazil, for example, used local-content requirements to increase domestic procurement and support job creation, technology transfer and the development of local supplier chains. Malaysia's PETRONAS similarly operated vendor-development programmes focused on strengthening the technical and commercial capabilities of local oil and gas suppliers, helping them compete beyond the domestic market. Ghana's local-content framework also places specific emphasis on technology and skills transfer to indigenous companies.

From Engineering Heritage to Industrial Capability

Dorman Long Engineering's history offers a useful perspective on Nigeria's industrial development. Established in 1949, the company has been involved in some of the country's major infrastructure and industrial projects over more than seven decades. Its historical work has included railway projects, warehouses for companies such as UAC and PZ, and the first Niger Bridge.

Its entry into the oil and gas sector in the 1990s marked an important stage in that evolution. Following an introduction by the then Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the company began working with Shell in 1994 on pressure vessels, manifolds and separation packages. Its subsequent work has included components and structures associated with major offshore developments such as the Agbami and Akpo FPSOs, alongside engineering, procurement and asset-management services. These projects reflect a broader shift in what indigenous companies are able to undertake within the energy value chain, moving from supplying basic services towards developing the technical and fabrication capabilities required for more specialised work.

That industrial capability has been complemented by a sustained focus on developing the people needed to support it, including through partnerships with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) and the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE). In 2017, Dorman Long trained 78 Nigerians in Non-Destructive Testing and Project Management through a 12-week programme sponsored by Hyundai Heavy Industries. The trainees were divided between 39 people trained in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and 39 trained as Project Management Professionals.

The same approach extended beyond project-based training. Between August 2021 and August 2022, Dorman Long, in partnership with Shell Petroleum Development Company, trained 40 young people from the Assa North and Ohaji South communities in Imo State. Eight participants received professional training, while 32 underwent vocational training in areas including electrical engineering, welding and fitting, scaffolding and rigging, project management, electrical installation, civil engineering, quantity surveying, ICT and telecommunications, and carpentry. The programme combined classroom learning with practical experience, equipping participants with skills that could be applied within the industrial workforce or used to pursue self-employment.

Similarly, in 2025, the company signed an MoU with the NSE covering training, consultancy and human-capital development. The agreement includes structured training for NSE student members and a one-year training programme with stipends for graduate members.

For an economy where young people entering the labour market often face a gap between academic qualifications and industry-ready skills, capacity building offers value beyond filling immediate vacancies. In a country with a population exceeding 230 million, local-content initiatives, particularly in capital-intensive sectors such as energy and engineering, can create opportunities for young Nigerians to acquire the technical skills and practical experience needed to participate in industrial development.

In line with the NCDMB's 10-Year Strategic Roadmap, which sets out an ambition to increase Nigerian Content to 70% by 2027, companies such as Dorman Long Engineering illustrate how this ambition can translate into practice through indigenous engineering and fabrication, technical talent development and the capacity to undertake increasingly complex work locally.

Ultimately, the long-term value of local content will depend not only on the proportion of work undertaken by Nigerian companies, but also on the technical expertise developed, the industrial capabilities built and the value retained within the economy. By strengthening domestic suppliers, investing in skills and expanding the scope of work that can be delivered locally, Nigeria can move beyond participation towards building a more resilient industrial base.

With breast cancer on the rise in young women, the Know Your Lemons app is closing the gap on late detection
Image File
Original HTML

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the global charity Know Your Lemons Foundation, announced a groundbreaking update to their Webby award-winning Know Your Lemons app to help improve early detection for women. This is part of the launch of the #Lemonista movement, a new initiative designed to improve confidence in self-exam, and assess an individual's risk to create a custom screening plan using an app for the first time.

The app update and #Lemonista movement launch marks the next chapter for the charity that has already reached 2 billion people worldwide with a life-saving breast cancer awareness campaign, including Lynsey White, age 24, who discovered a lump under her armpit just a week after seeing the Know Your Lemons' 12 symptoms image from social media. Within a few weeks she was diagnosed with breast cancer, but she met roadblocks in getting testing.

"I was initially told it was nothing to worry about because I was so young. But Know Your Lemons gave me the confidence to advocate for myself and get the testing I needed. This is why it's so unbelievably important to promote Know Your Lemons and make sure that people know what to look out for, so they can get detected early," Lynsey says.

Lynsey is among a growing number of women under 40 discovering breast changes themselves, often before they are eligible for routine screening. Currently, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women ages 20 to 49 in the United States and the leading cause of cancer death among women globally.

One of the strongest predictors of surviving breast cancer is how early it is found. Yet most women have never been taught how to confidently check their breasts, and few have completed a risk assessment to determine when and how they should be screened—something the American College of Radiology recommends by age 25.

The Know Your Lemons app addresses both gaps through a new series of games that makes learning easy, engaging, and rewarding by earning two lemons in the app: one representing Confidence in knowing their body and the other representing Intelligence in knowing their personal risk and screening plan. When the two lemons are earned, they officially become a Lemonista.

Lemonistas then show their improved breast cancer awareness status by sharing the [two lemons] symbol on social media, transforming individual action into a visible global movement—and encouraging others to take charge of their breast health, too. Among others, CBS's Elsbeth actor Carrie Preston, Christine Handy of the Hello Beautiful movie, and breast cancer radiologist Dr. Anjali Malik have endorsed the movement by adding [two lemons] to their social media profiles.

"So often we don't learn about breast health until we have a breast problem," said Corrine Ellsworth-Beaumont, founder of Know Your Lemons. "Every Lemonista who shares what they've learned has the power to help someone else catch something early, the way Lynsey's story shows us that we can make all the difference."

Know Your Lemons is a nonprofit global organization dedicated to breast health education, reaching people in over 100 countries through its award-winning app and educational materials. EIN: 47-1133351.

Nabsys Launches RepX™ for Repeat Expansion Analysis Ahead of ASHG 2026
Image File
Original HTML

New pipeline offers the potential to analyze up to 23 disease-associated repeat expansion loci in a single, low-cost run

PROVIDENCE, R.I., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nabsys 2.0, LLC ("Nabsys") today announced the release of RepX™, a repeat expansion analysis pipeline available through its Nabsys Navigator™ cloud platform. RepX uses Electronic Genome Mapping (EGM) data generated on the OhmX™ Platform to investigate disease-associated repeat expansions.

Repeat expansions are associated with numerous inherited disorders but can be difficult to characterize. EGM analyzes individual ultra-long DNA molecules without amplification or ligation, avoiding biases associated with these processes and allowing researchers to examine the distribution of expansion sizes and investigate repeat instability within each allele.

Because RepX runs on data from the standard OhmX VOLT Whole Genome Kit, the same dataset can also support genome-wide structural variant and copy number variant analyses. Within Nabsys Navigator, RepX joins SV-Discover™ for genome-wide structural variant analysis and SV-Verify™ for confirmation of structural variants identified by other technologies, supported by integrated visualization tools.

"Repeat expansion research benefits from understanding not just expansion size, but how it varies within an allele," said Barrett Bready, M.D., founder and CEO of Nabsys. "RepX pairs those EGM single-molecule insights with the potential for low-cost, multi-locus analysis—advancing our goal of making single-molecule genomics accessible to every lab."

Nabsys will demonstrate RepX and Nabsys Navigator at Booth #501 during the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2026 Annual Meeting, October 20–24 in Montréal, Canada. The company's five posters include "CRISPR/Cas9 Customization of Electronic Genome Mapping Repeat Expansion Assays" (#8132W), presented by Kasra Tabatabaei, Ph.D., and the Reviewers' Choice poster "CRISPR/Cas9 Optimization by Electronic Genome Mapping" (#5008F), presented by John Thompson, Ph.D.

View the full ASHG presentation schedule and learn more about RepX.

Introducing ZimaOS 1.8: Bringing a Design-Led Self-Hosted Photo Library
Image File
Original HTML

SHANGHAI, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- We have more devices capturing life than ever, yet our options for managing photos feel completely broken. Cloud services lock your memories behind monthly paywalls, while traditional self-hosted libraries look like they were designed in 2005. Somehow, in this day and age, privacy and a seamless photo experience still feel like too much to ask.

So today, ZimaOS 1.8 officially launches ZimaOS Photos, A Design-Led Self-Hosted Photo Library. Paired with a newly upgraded mobile experience, it breaks down this divide by seamlessly blending consumer-grade elegance and fluidity with the absolute peace of mind of private local storage.

Understated Beauty, Unspoken Ease.

ZimaOS Photos rethinks how people browse, search, and organize their photographs—guided by a single principle: Designed pure for your photos.

Here, your library evolves far beyond a generic grid of file thumbnails, unfolding into a smooth, immersive stream of memories. You can move effortlessly between Year, Month, and Day views, browsing at your own pace or instantly tracing your path back through years of life.

Whenever a specific moment comes to mind, simply describe the scene, and Photos brings it straight to you. From there, the photographs you find can be gathered into albums, turning a search into a story of your own. Collection offers another kind of discovery, bringing almost-forgotten moments back into view through interactive map views, Favorites, and personalized Memory highlights.

Seamless Mobile Backup and Access

Now you can capture life's best moments without ever worrying about phone storage. A single tap in the Zima Client mobile app enables automatic backup of your existing photos and every new shot directly to your ZimaOS device, with live progress clearly visible via Dynamic Island on iPhone.

The upgraded mobile app delivers faster connections for a fluid, lag-free experience from start to finish. Even if your network drops, your photos automatically continue backing up the moment the connection returns.

This performance boost powers far more than backups. Even away from home, you can access your entire library on any mobile device, smoothly browse full-resolution originals, and share them directly with friends. You can even manage your other ZimaOS apps remotely in real time.

Every format welcomed. Every frame honored.

A truly exceptional photo library honors every way you choose to capture life. ZimaOS Photos opens Live Photos, RAW files, and 360° panoramas instantly—no manual conversion or third-party apps required.

Live Photos bring back a child's laughter and movement. RAW files reveal intricate architectural details in razor-sharp clarity. 360° views reveal the entire scene around you, instantly transporting you back to breathtaking, endless horizons.

Every memory keeps its story intact. Camera information, pixel dimensions, and rich metadata sit neatly in Details, right alongside related shots. Your photos and the moments behind them stay seamlessly connected.

ZimaOS Native, Secure & Effortless

Self-hosting should never start with painful setup, nor should it turn into an endless maintenance routine. Built natively into ZimaOS, ZimaOS Photos works seamlessly right out of the box.

True data security begins with absolute local control. Every photo and piece of data remains strictly on your own ZimaOS device, shielded by automated backups and professional-grade RAID protection to safeguard your entire photo collection.

Tercera introduces the 2026-2027 Tercera 30
Original HTML

Growth equity firm Tercera releases its fifth annual Tercera 30, highlighting the software and AI

ecosystems with the greatest potential for IT service firms.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tercera, an investment and advisory firm for AI and technology service firms, today released the 2026–2027 Tercera 30. The Tercera 30 is an annual ranking of the top software and AI vendors for IT services firms and the partner ecosystems that offer the greatest potential for services growth. The vendors and trends highlighted in this fifth anniversary edition reflect the shift happening across IT services in the new AI era.

Eleven vendors are new or have boomeranged back onto this year's Tercera 30 list, underscoring how quickly the AI and software partner landscape is changing. Three new vendors – Anthropic, OpenAI and Palantir – join the Market Anchors category, vendors with large TAMs, large clients and broad platforms. That is the most movement in this category ever.

This year's Tercera 30 report also features redesigned Domain Leaders and Builders categories, reflecting how IT services partners are increasingly specialized by industry and required to have data and AI depth.

In Tercera's July 2026 IT services survey of 378 technology services leaders, only 5% of firms focused on a single software partner, down from 10% last year. Firms are increasingly moving from single-vendor platform implementations to orchestrating data, systems and agents around domain processes and clear business outcomes.

"The services market is radically shifting," said Chris Barbin, CEO of Tercera. "The vendor landscape is in chaos, traditional partner motions are at risk, and new growth opportunities are presented daily – often at the intersection of data, AI, software and services."

Introducing 2026–2027 Tercera 30

Market Anchors. Large vendors that can support a dedicated services business: Databricks, Snowflake, Anthropic, ServiceNow, OpenAI, Palantir, Microsoft, Google Cloud, AWS, and Salesforce.

Domain Leaders. Platforms that can serve as pillar partners for firms specializing in an industry or function: Oracle, SAP, Guidewire, Atlassian, Workday, HubSpot, OneStream, Saviynt, commercetools, and Ada.

Builders. Data and AI vendors representing different layers of the AI stack: Nvidia, VAST Data, MongoDB, Cohere, Dynatrace, Glean, Dataiku, Quantexa, Denodo, and Credo AI.

Vendors in the Tercera 30 were selected through a rigorous data analysis, interviews with software executives, input from analysts and bankers, and insights from Tercera's annual services survey. More info on the methodology can be found here.

Services leaders should use this report to assess partner strategies, identify the most promising AI partner ecosystems, and anticipate where demand is heading. Download the full report here.

U.S. Navy receives C-130J-30 Super Hercules to become future TACAMO platform, E-130J Phoenix II
Image File
Original HTML

MARIETTA, Ga., Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A new era of strategic airborne command and control capability for the U.S. Navy has officially begun with Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) delivering a C-130J-30 Super Hercules aircraft destined to become the future of the Take Charge and Move Out (TACAMO) mission, at the company's Marietta, Georgia, facility on Oct. 15.

The C-130J-30 Super Hercules will be modified into the E-130J Phoenix II, the Navy's next‑generation TACAMO mission platform, fulfilling an added mission for the Super Hercules. TACAMO is the U.S. Navy's airborne nuclear command‑and‑control support mission.

The Super Hercules provides the Navy with a domestically produced, reliable, long-endurance, four-engine platform with the proven performance to successfully carry out the TACAMO mission. With advanced avionics, increased power, greater range, fuel efficiency and payload capacity, the C‑130J‑30 delivers the capabilities and endurance this critical mission demands.

"This delivery marks a historic milestone for the U.S. Navy, Lockheed Martin, and the nation's strategic communications network," said Trish Pagan, vice president of Lockheed Martin's Air Mobility & Maritime Missions. "The C-130J-30 Super Hercules continues to evolve and adapt to the needs of our customers, carrying the proven reliability of its lineage while transforming into a new, strategic mission set. It is built to deliver the capabilities our joint force demands and built to last through any operational challenge."

The delivery re-establishes the link between the TACAMO mission and the Hercules family. For three decades, the EC-130Q variant served as the Navy's TACAMO platform, flying the mission successfully from 1963 until 1993. The new Super Hercules builds on that legacy while adding advanced avionics, communications and survivability enhancements.

"The C-130J platform has a storied history supporting our strategic communications mission, and accepting this first C-130J-30 marks an exciting new chapter," said U.S. Navy Capt. Roger Davis, Airborne Strategic Command, Control and Communications program manager (PMA-271). "Lockheed Martin's delivery of this battle-proven airframe provides the structural and performance backbone our mission requires as we transition into mission systems integration to field the E-130J Phoenix II."

As part of the Super Hercules' transformation, the aircraft will be transferred to Northrop Grumman, the mission systems integrator, where the E-130J TACAMO industry team will complete the conversion that will see the airframe enter service as the E‑130J Phoenix II.

About the C-130J Super Hercules

The C-130J Super Hercules is the latest generation of the legendary C-130 Hercules. Built with advanced avionics, increased range and speed, and enhanced survivability, the C-130J is certified across 20 different mission sets — including airdrop, search and rescue, firefighting, medevac, ISR, special operations, among others. It is the only tactical airlifter with a global fleet of more than 570 aircraft and continues to serve as the backbone of air mobility worldwide.
