Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Financial Instruments Financial Instruments
The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value of the instrument. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents classified within the Level 1 designation, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Cash equivalents, marketable securities, and the preferred stock warrants liability are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Equity investments without a readily determinable fair value are recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value based on observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investment of the same issuer.
None of the Company’s non-financial assets or liabilities are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2025, twelve of the Company's marketable securities with a fair market value of $18.6 million were in an immaterial aggregate gross unrealized loss position due to the timing of their acquisition compared to their respective maturity date. These twelve marketable securities have all been in a gross unrealized loss position for less than one year. Based on a review of these marketable securities, the Company believes none of the unrealized loss is the result of a credit loss as of September 30, 2025, because the Company does not intend to sell these securities prior to their maturity, and it is unlikely that the Company will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion on the Company's evaluation of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities. Accrued interest receivable on marketable securities was $1.1 million at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and was recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We did not write off any accrued interest receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
The Company did not transfer any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
The following table presents activity for the preferred stock warrants liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

The warrants’ estimated fair value as of the Merger date utilized the Black-Scholes model and the following input assumptions: risk free interest rate (4.3% - 4.4%), expected term (3.6 - 4.1 years), dividend yield (0.0%), volatility (103.0% - 104.0%) and exercise price ($10.64 per common share).
No fair value liabilities exist as of September 30, 2025. Upon completion of the Merger, the preferred stock warrants became exercisable into shares of common stock and will no longer continue to be remeasured at each reporting date. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion on the valuation of the preferred stock warrants liability.
Equity investment without a readily determinable fair value
In conjunction with the Merger, the Company obtained an investment in common stock of an unfunded privately held, pre-clinical life sciences company, which the Company initially carried at no value. In May 2024, the private company executed a seed funding round (“Seed Financing”), which triggered an anti-dilution provision under the License and Option Agreement (“Option Agreement”), resulting in the issuance of additional shares of common stock. The Company identified the Seed Financing as an observable price change under the measurement alternative, and adjusted the equity investment from zero to an estimated fair value of $1.3 million at the time of the Seed Financing. In May 2025, the private company executed an extension of the initial seed funding round (“Seed Extension”), which the Company identified as an observable price change under the measurement alternative, and resulted in a $0.2 million increase in the fair value of the equity investment. There were no other upward or downward adjustments to the carrying value of the Company's investment without a readily determinable fair value during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
