Most people who followed $CYDY remember March 30, 2021. The FDA publicly stated that CytoDyn's claims about leronlimab were "misleading and not supported by the data", no benefit was shown in COVID-19 treatment trials. The stock dropped 25%+ that day.

What happened afterward was a class action lawsuit covering investors who held $CYDY between March 27, 2020 and March 30, 2022.

A $500,000 settlement has been reached and terms are now submitted to the court for approval.

Who qualifies?

Anyone who held $CYDY during the class period and suffered losses from the alleged misrepresentations about leronlimab's effectiveness for HIV and COVID-19.

Can I still apply?

Yes, you can submit your application now and it will be processed once claims filing officially opens after court approval.

If you were damaged by this don't forget to check your eligibility. GL!

Could microbial electrosynthesis become the “solar panel moment” for industrial chemistry?

I’ve been researching MES — basically engineered microbes using electricity + CO₂ to produce chemicals, fuels, and materials — and the cost curve is getting interesting.

The big question: if MES can hit cost parity with traditional chemistry at mid-sized industrial scale, does this become a real manufacturing disruption instead of just another climate-tech science project?

Curious what people here think: is this viable industrial biotech, or another overhyped lab-to-market story?

A few years ago, I discovered Zeyner through his videos on genetic editing.

My question is, Is there a group or something, where enthusiasts with home lab are trying to achieve in vivo genome editing?

I know that is dangerous, but the technology is new and there are always a few crazy people
