SYDNEY, May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Immutable X, which is powering the next generation of web3 games as the leading carbon-neutral, scalable platform for trading NFTs on Ethereum, today announced its expansion to be the world's first cross-rollup liquidity platform for NFTs, built on StarkNet. This announcement allows players to directly trade any asset matched across multiple Ethereum Layer 2 and Layer 3 roll-ups, solving the liquidity fractionalization problem that occurs with every individual roll-up today and scaling to billions of users. The protocol will facilitate hundreds of thousands of transactions per second, supporting games with hundreds of millions of daily players to truly own their in-game items.

Key Points: 
  • "This is the future of Ethereum - multiple roll-ups for different purposes and games, each abstracted and unified in liquidity via Immutable X - while never compromising on Ethereum's security," said Robbie Ferguson, Co-Founder at Immutable.
  • Ethereum remains the #1 choice for game developers, and Immutable X is focused on bringing the best games in the world to Ethereum.
  • World-class games have different needs, and therefore Immutable X will support multiple L2/L3 zk-rollups for different use cases.
  • "Our partnership will seamlessly enable world-class games and projects to thrive on Immutable X and StarkNet across L2 and L3."

Median Technologies (Paris:ALMDT) (ALMDT), The Imaging Phenomics Company, announces today the results of a preliminary retrospective study on the evaluation of the risk of recurrence for patients with primary liver cancer (HCC hepatocellular carcinoma) based on a non-invasive biomarker.

Key Points: 
  • Median Technologies (Paris:ALMDT) (ALMDT), The Imaging Phenomics Company, announces today the results of a preliminary retrospective study on the evaluation of the risk of recurrence for patients with primary liver cancer (HCC hepatocellular carcinoma) based on a non-invasive biomarker.
  • The level of hepatic fibrosis1 is of great prognostic value and helps inform therapeutic intervention with regard to liver disease.
  • There was a two-fold objective for the preliminary retrospective study: first, to accurately quantify liver fibrosis on CT images, and second, to correlate the score of fibrosis with the risk of recurrence in post-operative patients with HCC.
  • Using this quantification methodology, iBiopsy non-invasive fibrosis biomarker permits the stratification of pre-operative patients at high-risk of tumor recurrence (HR = 4.1 (CI: [1.2,13.9], p-value
