3. EyeCell is collaborating with investigators that previously enrolled over 176 patients in microcurrent therapy vision improvement studies. The EyeCell team is working with these investigators to now launch two new studies with our stimulators, eye googles and bioelectric programming.
4. EarCell is preparing to begin enrollment in a hearing recovery clinical study in Brazil.
5. OrthoStim is preparing to begin enrollment in a knee joint recovery clinical study in Mexico. The team just filed a new patent application for bioelectric stimulation control of OPG release for treating osteoporosis.
6. InStim is preparing to begin soon bioelectric inflammation control studies for IBD.
7. RegenaLung is exploring COVID related research grants to advance its lung regeneration and inflammation control product platform.
8. BioLeonhardt Whole Body with BodStim is evaluating available bioelectric stimulation body suits developed by others at this time for potential collaboration.
PancreaCell and LiverCell are reaching out to develop collaborations for research with experienced investigators.
Cancer
1. CancerCell is preparing to enroll in a 2nd animal study in Brazil following a previous feasibly small animal study at UCLA. CancerCell has 9 issued U.S. patents https://cancercellinc.com/list-of-the-issued-cancer-patents/ for bioelectric cancer treatment and many dozens of new claims pending. The team just filed a patent application for bioelectric OPG expression control for treating bone related cancers. Previous patent filings cover reading a tumor and customized delivery of bioelectric signals to jam communication, illicit an immune response, starve a tumor of blood supply, reduce inflammation and eventually promote healing of the organ.

Financial Update
We have raised about $7.7 million in capital to date for our portfolio of startups and innovations with the lions share being for our Heart & Cardiovascular Portfolio especially Second Heart Assist, Inc. Approximately $2.5 million has been raised for our current bioelectric innovations platform portfolio of technologies and organ specific applications. As of this news release we have $530,000 in cash reserves in the bank across all accounts with approximately another $1,000,000 in subscriptions pending. We expect that our current resources, together with the funds from expected new investments, assuming all pending milestones are achieved, will support our operations for the balance of this year. We believe this will enable us to complete the minimal data gathering likely necessary for at least 5 products in our development pipeline to be ready ripe to pursue realistically the goal opportunity to complete multiple strategic alliance partnership deals.
