Infillion Appoints Margaret Chu as CFO
As published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, the biopharmaceutical drug development firm’s sponsored research used co-cultured human, primary immune cells as a model to evaluate the ability of selected Cannabis constituents to decrease inflammation.
LAS VEGAS – November 1, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Gb Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:GBLX), a leading plant-inspired, biopharmaceutical research and drug development company, has co-published a study in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology that demonstrates the potential of selected cannabinoids and terpenes to reduce inflammation. Finding Cannabis compounds with anti-inflammatory properties may be useful in decreasing inflammation associated with a wide range of serious human disorders, and these Cannabis compounds potentially have more favorable side effect profiles than NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), which currently lead the anti-inflammatory market based on sales. Largely because of the increasing prevalence of chronic and auto-immune inflammatory disorders, the market for anti-inflammatory therapies is expected to grow to $191.42 billion by 2027.
“We believe that this is the first demonstration of the anti-inflammatory potential of some very potent minor cannabinoids and terpenes derived from Cannabis,” said Dr. Andrea Small-Howard, President, Chief Science Officer, and Director of Gb Sciences. “The identification of cell type-specific immune modulating effects by different individual cannabinoids and terpenes was an important first step in designing our novel anti-inflammatory therapies. The results from our second study on the anti-inflammatory effects of proprietary mixtures of these ingredients will be published subsequently with our collaborators at Michigan State University and Chaminade University.”
Gb Sciences selected the specific Cannabis constituents for this study based on their prior activity within chemovar studies. To determine whether these cannabinoids and terpenes could reduce inflammation, Gb Sciences’ colleagues at Michigan State University tested the individual Cannabis constituents over a wide range of concentrations in human, primary immune cells in a co-culture system that mimics the complex interactions that regulate the human immune system. Three immune cell types were chosen as representatives within these native human immune cell mixtures based on their important roles in modulating the inflammatory cascade.
This study demonstrated that delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) had the greatest effect on reducing inflammatory biomarkers and processes in all three immune cell types. Following THC, the greatest immune activity modulation was measured by cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabinol (CBN), and lastly, cannabidiol (CBD) in decreasing order based on the number of statistically significant changes measured in inflammatory bioassays relative to the control. Some of these minor cannabinoids and the terpenes tested had very ‘selective’ anti-inflammatory effects, which targeted a single cell type and/or caused a change in only a single inflammatory bioassay.
This study entitled “Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory effects of selected cannabinoids and terpenes from Cannabis Sativa employing human primary leukocytes” was co-authored by Gb Sciences’ own President and Chief Science Officer, Andrea Small-Howard, and her collaborators Lance K. Blevins, Anthony P. Bach, Robert B. Crawford, Jiajun Zhou, Joseph E. Henriquez, Michael D. Rizzo, Sera Sermet, D.M. Isha Olive Khan, and Norbert Kaminski from Michigan State University (East Lansing, Michigan, USA) and Helen Turner from Chaminade University of Honolulu (Honolulu, Hawai’i, USA). The second part of this study measured the effects of proprietary mixtures of cannabinoids and terpenes on inflammation within this human, primary immune cell model, and this second study will be published next in collaboration with our colleagues at Michigan State University and Chaminade University.

‘Sculptoris’ speaks to a high jewelry creator, her technique, and the origin of gold.
NEW YORK – October 31, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Tess Sholom holds a legendary art jewelry past. She has worked with fashions finest couturiers, her jewelry is included in collections at the Smithsonian Institution, Museum of the City of New York, the Fashion Institute of Technology, and her permanent fashion jewelry collection is at the Met Fifth Avenue. Most recently, she has adopted a one-word title that speaks to her design technique, and her exclusive alliance with gold.
In decades past, Tess Sholom’s fashion jewelry appeared in Vogue and Harper’s BAZAAR. Her bespoke brand today offers a nod to the new; an artfully descriptive title that is personalized, memorable and legally protectable. Tess Sholom’s point of difference in 22kt gold design lead to the one-word title.
Defining Sholom as a “sculptor in gold,” was accurate, but commonplace. By combining the words “sculptor” and “is” SculptorisTM was formed and a trademarked title was created. Sculptors is also an extraordinary, ancient star. The same star type that Nature, the Smithsonian, and the World Gold Council have recently brought to public attention. Why? The SculptorisTM star will collide or self-erupt creating a supernova releasing gold and precious metals. SculptorisTM as a title is befitting to Tess, a 22k gold jewelry artisan who has drawn design inspiration from the heavens, and is a star in her own right.
“I use a torch and tools to mold and shape the gold, similar to how ancient Greek goldsmiths crafted jewelry and the gold in my designs could be thousands of years old. I adore working in 22k gold because it is malleable and has a beautiful, rich color,” said Tess Sholom.
Famed Hollywood director Julie Dash selected Tess Sholom’s Circe’s Circle necklace as seen on the Met Gala’s red carpet this year and covered by the Associated Press. Tess’ investment-quality 22k designs were featured at WealthXPrivate.com and currently with KnightFrankWealth.com, and ranked ‘most read September stories.’
“We wanted to unite Tess’ ancient and modern art in a fresh, dynamic approach,” said Pam Levine of Levine Luxury Branding, who worked with Luxe Licensing to create Sculptoris videos. Those videos have exceeded 40,000 organic views. “We also worked Alain Simić on an innovative lifestyle campaign showcased through Tess’ Instagram account,” Levine added.
Beyond debuting at Couture, represented through VIEWPOINTnext this year, Tess continues to sell through Mayfair Rocks in East Hampton, and the Mahnaz Collection in Manhattan. Her designs may be purchased through www.TessSholomDesigns.com or https://tinyurl.com/TessSholomOnline.
