DENVER, Colo., Apr 07, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCQB:KBLB) named Dr. Xiaoli Zhang as its new Director of Molecular Biology, a turbo boost for a company already leading the charge in spider silk-based super materials.

Zhang, a bioengineering rockstar, brings a trophy case of breakthroughs in transgenic silkworms and spider silk, with peer-reviewed papers lighting up journals worldwide. Her arrival signals KBLB’s sprint toward commercializing fibers that could outshine anything on the market.

Zhang’s a proven trailblazer—her genetic engineering wizardry has already supercharged Kraig’s silkworms, churning out high-performance spider silk that’s tougher than steel. She’s unleashed brand-new fiber breakthroughs, pushing beyond current limits, as the company races to scale these lab gems for mass production; think a $60 billion high-performance materials market in its crosshairs.

“We are thrilled to recognize Dr. Zhang’s invaluable contributions to the development of advanced biomaterials, including spider silk, by appointing her to the pivotal position of Director of our Molecular Biology laboratory and R&D center,” stated CEO and Founder of Kraigs Labs, Kim Thompson. “Her expertise and leadership have been essential in driving the development of our next-generation spider silk technology and in our adoption of new genetic engineering technologies. As we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in material science, Dr. Zhang’s vision and dedication will be instrumental in shaping the future of biomaterials.”

Republic Airways Holdings and Mesa Air Group (NASDAQ:MESA) announced that they are set to reshape the skies: they’re merging in an all-stock deal to birth America’s go-to regional airline. This union fuses two outfits with solid fleets and cultures, poised to keep small-town America plugged into the grid. The new titan will ditch the Mesa tag, stepping up as Republic Airways Holdings and expected to trade on the NASDAQ under a new ticker, RJET.

Republic’s operational muscle and Mesa’s nimble reach meld will blend crews, planes, and routes that crisscross the heartland.

Bryan Bedford, Republic’s President and CEO, said, “We’re thrilled to combine the Republic and Mesa teams to create one of the world’s leading Embraer Jet operators. Republic and Mesa share a common mission to connect communities across America, and we believe that we can better achieve that mission together. With this combination, we are establishing a single, well-capitalized, public company that will benefit from the deep expertise of Republic and Mesa associates, creating value for all stakeholders well into the future.”

Janover (NASDAQ:JNVR) just got a crypto-fueled facelift. A squad of ex-Kraken heavyweights, who’re focused on bridging Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) snagged majority ownership of Janover. Alongside this power grab, they’ve pumped $42 million into the company, a cash haul that’s a moonshot for a $5 million cap minnow.

iCoreConnect (NASDAQ:ICCT) continues to bounce off the 52-week low it set late March.

Sunation Energy (NASDAQ:SUNE) is this morning’s most active premarket listing, while Bluejay Diagnostics (NASDAQ:BJDX) is this morning’s top premarket gainer.
