- The proprietary program targets a lactate–autophagy pathway to reactivate quiescent hair follicle stem cells.

- In a mouse model, a candidate achieved a hair-growth score comparable to that of 5% topical minoxidil at just 1/100 of the comparator's concentration.

- The milestone builds on the commercialization success of two AI-developed scalp-care ingredients and extends XtalPi's work in hair health into drug development.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- XtalPi (HKEX: 2228), an AI and robotics company focused on drug and materials discovery, today announced that its proprietary hair loss drug program has entered IND-enabling studies. Pharmacology, safety and chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) studies are underway to support a future Investigational New Drug (IND) application.

Androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as pattern hair loss, affects both men and women and can require long-term management. Global Market Insights estimates the global androgenetic alopecia treatment market at US$3.4 billion in 2026 and projects it will reach US$6.8 billion by 2035.

Topical minoxidil and oral finasteride remain the primary standards of care for pattern hair loss. While effective for some patients, responses vary and continuous application is required to maintain benefits. In addition, topical minoxidil often causes scalp irritation, while oral finasteride carries labeled risks of sexual adverse effects, underscoring the need for novel mechanisms that directly reactivate quiescent hair follicle stem cells.

XtalPi's program focuses on the metabolic and cellular processes that regulate hair follicle stem-cell activation. Preliminary data indicate that its candidate acts through a lactate–autophagy pathway. By restoring cellular autophagy, the essential process by which cells recycle damaged components to maintain function, the candidate reactivates dormant stem cells to support renewed hair growth. Cell-based assays also demonstrated increased lactate production, supporting further investigation of the candidate's effects on sustained hair regrowth.

In a DHT-induced mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, a candidate achieved a hair-growth score comparable to that of 5% topical minoxidil at just one-hundredth of the comparator's concentration. Additional preclinical observations suggest potential activity in reducing local follicular inflammation. These findings support further evaluation of low-concentration topical treatment, including its effects on the follicular environment.

To achieve this differentiated profile, XtalPi applied an iterative workflow combining AI-guided molecular design, physics-based free-energy perturbation (FEP) calculations, and robotic synthesis and testing. This integrated platform approach enabled the team to systematically optimize target potency and selectivity alongside skin penetration, safety, and developability for topical delivery.

XtalPi has already commercialized two AI-developed proprietary ingredients for topical scalp care: Remeanagen™, a small molecule, and AquaKine™, a peptide. Both have received International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) names. Groland, a consumer brand incubated by XtalPi, has completed U.S. cosmetic facility registration and product listing for a formulation combining the ingredients. Groland products are now commercially available, and its scalp serum previously ranked No. 1 on Tmall's new-product chart for anti-hair-loss scalp serums.

Building on this research and formulation experience, XtalPi has redesigned and optimized candidates for drug development. The team is evaluating mechanism of action, dose–response relationships, pharmacokinetics, safety margins and suitability for long-term treatment to meet the requirements of a prescription medicine.

The program follows recent progress across XtalPi's internally developed and partner pipelines, including a U.S. IND submission for a gut-restricted treatment for chronic intestinal pain and the nomination of an HIV preclinical candidate. These programs demonstrate the application of its AI and robotics infrastructure across distinct therapeutic areas, supporting candidate discovery and optimization as proprietary and partnered assets advance toward clinical development.

Clearview AI partners with the National Child Protection Task Force to find children at risk of exploitation and harm.

LONG ISLAND, N.Y., Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearview AI, in connection with the National Child Protection Task Force (NCPTF), today announced that 34 children and teens reported missing to police in the Long Island area (Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens areas) have been located through the Long Island Missing Child Rescue Operation. The operation, coordinated by the National Child Protection Task Force (NCPTF) in partnership with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services Missing Persons Clearinghouse and Office of Children and Family Services, leveraged the experience, expertise, and resources of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private partners to provide critical investigative support to local police departments.

The multi-day operation convened public, nonprofit, and private partners with one goal: to explore new leads, review case notes, and use technology to find children at risk of endangerment, exploitation, and harm. The 34 children and teens ranged in age from 7 to 18 years old when they were reported missing.

The Office of Children and Family Services coordinated with nonprofit organizations and victim assistance programs to support the investigations, provide services and support for recovered children, address their needs, and prevent future missing episodes.

During the operation, a youth who had been missing for two years was located and connected with trained advocates. She was given time to rest, a hot meal, and support for her immediate needs while advocacy and investigative professionals began determining what support she would need next. Her family, who had not seen her since she disappeared, expressed their gratitude to the team and prepared to reunite with her. After years missing, the recovery represented far more than closing a case—it created an opportunity for the child to be seen, supported, and given a safer path forward.

Clearview AI provided investigative technology support to the operation, helping investigators generate leads that trained personnel then verified.

"Being part of this operation reflects the trust that law enforcement and child-protection agencies place in our technology every day, and our unwavering commitment to building a safer and more secure world," said Amos Kyler, CEO of Clearview AI. "Protecting children from exploitation and harm is among the most important work our technology supports, and we are proud to stand alongside the National Child Protection Task Force and its partners."

"These outcomes reflect what's possible when law enforcement, child-protection professionals, and technology partners work side by side with a shared commitment to protecting vulnerable youth. These aren't statistics; they are our children." - Kevin Branzetti, Co-Founder & CEO of the National Child Protection Task Force.

Missing Child Rescue Operations focus on providing critical resources to prevent vulnerable youth from becoming victims of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and further harm. NCPTF has now helped locate more than 253 endangered missing children through coordinated Missing Child Rescue Operations.

About the National Child Protection Task Force

The National Child Protection Task Force (NCPTF) is a nonprofit organization creating better outcomes for missing, exploited, and trafficked children. Working alongside law enforcement agencies nationwide, NCPTF provides rapid investigative support, specialized intelligence, advanced technology, private-sector resources, and coordinated case assistance to help locate endangered children and resolve complex cases.

NCPTF's model is built around the understanding that finding a child is only the beginning.

A $4.3 million to $6.3 million gap between Integra's preliminary third-quarter revenue and the Wall Street estimate sent IART shares lower. SueWallSt notifies investors of a pending investigation into potential securities claims for shareholders who lost money.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Integra LifeSciences (NASDAQ: IART) shares fell sharply on October 2, 2026, after the Company put preliminary third-quarter revenue at $410 million to $412 million -- short of the $416.3 million FactSet consensus estimate. Investors who bought IART and are now holding losses may have legal rights. Affected shareholders are encouraged to submit their IART loss details now or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (888) SueWallSt.

Integra further cut its full year revenue, "from a range of $1.654 billion to $1.695 billion to a range of $1.634 billion to $1.654 billion." The Company blamed the shortfall on "flooding at the Cincinnati facility in July 2026," noting the "disruption negatively impacted third quarter revenue by approximately $7 million," and a projected further negative impact of $15 to $20 million to fourth quarter revenue. The Company further disclosed it now does not see a return to full manufacturing operations until the second quarter of 2027.

During Integra's previous earnings call on July 29, 2026, Chief Financial Officer Lea Daniels Knight discussed the Cincinnati facility flooding incident briefly, informing investors the Company did "not expect the event to have a material impact on our revenue or EPS guidance for 2026."

Investors who suffered losses on Integra LifeSciences shares can start a free review of their IART losses while the investigation is active, or call (888) SueWallSt.

WHY SUEWALLST: SueWallSt is powered by Levi & Korsinsky LLP. Levi & Korsinsky LLP has established itself as a nationally-recognized securities litigation firm that has secured hundreds of millions of dollars for aggrieved shareholders and built a track record of winning high-stakes cases. The firm has extensive expertise representing investors in complex securities litigation and a team of over 70 employees to serve our clients.

The article explains how recognizing early warning signs can help reduce repair costs and protect a home's condition.

GOSHEN, Ind., Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What are the warning signs of hidden water damage?

HelloNation has published an article featuring insights from Peyton Cripe of Terry's Cleaning & Restoration that explains how recognizing hidden water damage early can help homeowners avoid more extensive water damage repair and support timely water damage restoration.

The HelloNation article explains that hidden water damage often develops quietly behind walls, beneath flooring, or above ceilings before becoming obvious. Small signs may appear long before major structural problems develop, making early moisture detection an important step in preventing more serious damage. The article explains that recognizing these warning signs early can help homeowners respond before repairs become more extensive.

According to the article, peeling paint, bubbling finishes, and cracked drywall may all indicate moisture trapped behind finished surfaces. Persistent musty odors are another common clue that hidden water damage may be present. A professional water damage inspection can help determine whether concealed moisture is causing the problem and identify the source before additional materials are affected.

The article also explains that flooring frequently provides visible evidence of moisture problems. Warped flooring, including hardwood that cups or buckles and laminate that swells along its seams, often points to moisture beneath the surface. Tile that shifts or loosens may also indicate hidden water damage. Early moisture detection can help reduce the need for larger water damage repair projects.

Walls and ceilings may also reveal slow leaks through yellow or brown water stains, expanding discoloration, or faint water rings. The article notes that even when water stains appear dry, moisture may still remain behind the surface. A thorough water damage inspection helps determine whether additional water damage restoration is needed.

Another warning sign discussed in the article is changes in building materials. Soft drywall, swollen trim, sagging ceilings, sticking doors, and difficult-to-open windows may all result from moisture affecting structural components. These gradual changes are easy to overlook but often signal the need for moisture detection before damage spreads further.

The HelloNation article also notes that unexpectedly higher water bills may point to concealed plumbing leaks. Water escaping behind walls or beneath floors can contribute to hidden water damage while remaining unnoticed for long periods. Identifying these leaks through a professional water damage inspection helps limit the need for more extensive water damage repair.

The article explains that excess moisture can also affect indoor air quality. Damp drywall, insulation, carpeting, and wood framing create conditions that may encourage mold growth if moisture is not addressed. Early water damage restoration helps preserve building materials while supporting healthier indoor air quality throughout the home.

The article concludes that regular inspections around sinks, appliances, windows, water heaters, and attic spaces can help homeowners identify problems before they worsen. By watching for warped flooring, water stains, unusual odors, and other signs of hidden water damage, homeowners can seek timely moisture detection and water damage restoration before more significant water damage repair becomes necessary.

The article explains how liability, collision, comprehensive, deductibles, limits, and optional protections determine what an auto insurance policy actually covers.

WILMINGTON, N.C., Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What does full coverage car insurance really mean?

HelloNation answers that question in an article featuring insights from Insurance Expert Tammy McNeill of Wilmington, NC.

The article explains that full coverage car insurance is not a standardized policy that protects against every possible loss. Instead, the phrase commonly describes a combination of several types of auto insurance coverage, typically including liability, collision, and comprehensive protections.

Liability coverage generally applies when an insured driver is legally responsible for injuries or property damage caused to others. Policies may include bodily injury and property damage protections, with requirements and available limits varying according to the state and policy.

The article notes that liability coverage generally does not pay for repairs to the insured driver's own vehicle after an at-fault accident. That distinction is one reason other protections are commonly included when drivers describe their policies as full coverage.

Collision coverage generally helps pay for covered damage to an insured vehicle after an accident with another vehicle or object. Certain single-vehicle accidents may also qualify, depending on policy terms, limits, and the applicable car insurance deductible.

Comprehensive coverage addresses certain types of covered vehicle damage that do not result from a collision. Examples may include theft, vandalism, hail, falling objects, or damage involving an animal. Specific covered events depend on the individual policy.

A car insurance deductible represents the amount a policyholder is responsible for paying toward certain covered losses before insurance pays the remaining eligible amount. Selecting a higher deductible may affect premiums while increasing the policyholder's potential out-of-pocket expense after a covered claim.

The article emphasizes that full coverage car insurance does not mean every accident, expense, or type of vehicle damage will automatically be covered. Policy limits, exclusions, deductibles, and the circumstances surrounding a loss still determine how protection applies.

Other forms of auto insurance coverage may also be available or required. These can include uninsured or underinsured motorist protection, medical payments coverage, or personal injury protection. Drivers should not assume these protections are included simply because a policy is described as full coverage.

Optional protections can further affect a policy. Rental reimbursement, roadside assistance, and other endorsements may be available from some insurers, but they have separate conditions and limits. Insurance Expert Tammy McNeill's guidance emphasizes understanding individual policy components rather than relying on a general label.

Policy limits are another important consideration. Collision coverage or comprehensive coverage can be included without providing unlimited protection. The declarations page generally identifies selected coverages, limits, and deductibles for the insured vehicles.

Financed or leased vehicles can involve additional requirements. A lender or leasing company may require certain physical damage protections because it maintains a financial interest in the vehicle. Those requirements are separate from insurance protections required under state law.

The article also explains that exclusions can affect whether a claim is covered. Policies may exclude particular drivers, vehicle uses, property, or circumstances. Reviewing individual components and restrictions provides a clearer understanding of what protection is actually available.

Two drivers who both describe their policies using the same general term may have different limits, deductibles, exclusions, and optional protections. Reviewing each element separately helps drivers understand their actual coverage and potential financial responsibilities.
