Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Unveils Groundbreaking Scientific Achievement Based on Caddisfly Silk Proteins

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) ('the Company' or 'Kraig Labs'), a leading developer of spider silk-based fibers, proudly announces the successful creation of new novel silk, build upon the silk proteins of the remarkable caddisfly. This breakthrough marks a new frontier in the field of engineered fibers and underscores the Company's commitment to pioneering innovations in biotechnology.
Caddisflies (known in the Pacific Northwest as 'Periwinkles') are known for their extraordinary ability to spin silk underwater, which they use to construct protective cases in aquatic environments. By leveraging the unique mechanical and chemical attributes of caddisfly silk proteins, Kraig Labs seeks to engineer materials with unprecedented functionality. This new silk offers the potential for increased durability when submerged in water. Possible applications for this new silk are vast, with exciting potentials for medical adhesives, biomedical textiles, performance apparel, and next-generation fiber technologies.
'This achievement demonstrates our ability to extend beyond spider silk proteins and explore the broader possibilities of silk engineering,' said CEO and Founder of Kraig Labs, Kim Thompson. 'By tapping into the evolutionary diversity of silk-producing organisms, we're expanding the toolkit for creating super fibers that meet the demands of tomorrow's industries.'
The introduction of caddisfly-based transgenic fiber represents a critical milestone in the Company's vision to create new super materials blending the physical and chemical properties of various silk proteins. The result is an ever-growing portfolio of high-performance materials designed to redefine the standards of strength, elasticity, and functionality. These new fibers will leverage the Company's propriety silkworm-based production system to bring these materials to market.
'Incorporating the unique and incredible adhesive properties of caddisfly silk protein has been a key part of the R&D roadmap I laid out when founding Kraig Labs,' Thompson continued. 'Unveiling this pivotal scientific milestone, our first caddisfly-based transgenic, marks not only a significant leap forward for the Company's business model but also a deeply gratifying achievement for me personally and for our team.'
This breakthrough would not have been possible without the dedication and ingenuity of the Company's scientific team. Their relentless pursuit of excellence and creative problem-solving have once again positioned Kraig Labs at the forefront of biotechnological innovation.
'Our team's success with this caddisfly-inspired material is a testament to the power of combining cutting-edge science with bold vision,' added the Company's COO, Jon Rice. 'We are excited about the potential this fiber holds and the new opportunities it creates across multiple sectors.'
Kraig Labs is committed to pushing the boundaries of creativity and science in silk protein engineering. The Company has filed a provisional utility patent application for this exciting new technology. By exploring and integrating the diverse properties of silk from various species, the Company will continue to lead the charge in developing sustainable, high-performance materials that address real-world challenges.

By GlobeNewswire Published on July 26, 2025, 16:07 IST NEW YORK, July 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against RxSight, Inc. (NASDAQ: RXST) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in RxSight, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until September 22, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased RxSight securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and is captioned Makaveev v. RxSight, Inc., et al. , No. 25-cv- 01596. Why Was RxSight Sued for Securities Fraud? RxSight is engaged in the manufacture and sale of light adjustable intraocular lenses used in cataract surgery along with capital equipment used with the lenses. The Company's main product is its Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) that can be customized after cataract surgery through a series of non-invasive light treatments. These treatments, using a Light Delivery Device (LDD), adjust the lens's shape and power to optimize vision based on the patient's individual needs and preferences. During the relevant period, the Company touted its strong LAL and LDD sales and failed to disclose 'adoption challenges' in its products. In reality, RxSight was experiencing a slowdown in LAL utilization that was first noted in 2024. The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed On April 3, 2025, before the market opened, RxSight cut its 2025 full-year revenue forecast citing a 'softening' of the market that purportedly occurred 'in the second half of 2024.' On this news, the price of RxSight stock declined roughly 38%, from $26.12 per share on April 2, 2025, to $16.21 per share on April 3, 2025. Then on July 8, 2025, the Company further cut its 2025 full-year revenue forecast. RxSight attributed the adjustment to 'the slower ramp in LAL utilization that was first noted in 2024' and '[a]doption challenges over the last few quarters.'

RDDT STOCK UPDATE: Reddit, Inc. (NYSE:RDDT) is being Sued for Securities Fraud – Contact BFA Law by August 18 Class Action Deadline

NEW YORK, July 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Reddit, Inc. (NYSE: RDDT) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Reddit, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until August 18, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Reddit securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Tamraz, Jr. v. Reddit, Inc., at al. , No. 25-cv-05144. Why was Reddit Sued for Securities Fraud? Reddit owns and operates the eponymous social news aggregation, forum, and social media platform. Reddit receives a significant portion of its user traffic from individuals seeking answers to questions using Google Search. The complaint alleges that Reddit misrepresented and downplayed the impact that Google's use of Artificial Intelligence ('AI') technology in Google's search results had on Reddit's user growth. In truth, Google's use of AI dented Reddit's user growth by eliminating the need for individuals to visit and click through to Reddit to get answers to their questions. Rather, the answers appeared through Google's AI search results. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On May 1, 2025, Reddit reported a significant slowdown in daily active user growth. On this news, the price of Reddit stock declined $4.96 per share, or more than 4%, from $118.79 per share on May 1, 2025, to $113.83 per share on May 2, 2025. Then, on May 21, 2025, Wall Street analyst Baird cut its Reddit stock price target over concerns that Google's AI capabilities are stifling Reddit's user growth. On this news, the price of Reddit stock fell $9.79 per share, or over 9%, from $105.64 per share on May 20, 2025, to $95.85 per share on May 21, 2025.
