Neuphoria Therapeutics Confirms Merger Talks With Scancell Holdings

Neuphoria Therapeutics has acknowledged it is in active discussions with London-listed Scancell Holdings about a potential business combination.

The disclosure came as a direct response to an announcement previously made by Scancell, signaling that both parties are now publicly aligned on the existence of the talks.
