Serina Therapeutics sold its UniverXome subsidiary in a deal finalized on Dec. 23. The biotechnology company said the transaction eliminated $11.2 million in associated subsidiary-level debt, allowing it to enter 2025 with a debt-free balance sheet. Chief Executive Steve Ledger added that the deal will allow Serina to continue advancing SER-252, its lead candidate for advanced Parkinson's disease, into clinical development. Shares jump 21%, to $5.84, in postmarket trading.

Powell Max said it has commenced activities to pursue acquisitions as part of its business strategy. The company is evaluating other financial communications service providers, planning to acquire companies generating $1.5 million to $5 million in gross annual revenue. It intends to retain most of the management teams of any acquired companies. Shares surge 84%, to $2.54, in after-hours trading.

Silexion Therapeutics released what the company called promising preclinical data for its treatment of pancreatic cancer. The biotech company said its proprietary second-generation siRNA candidate, SIL-204, demonstrated synergistic efficacy in combination with components of first-line chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer. Shares soar 66%, to $2.59, in postmarket trading.
