NDT Pharmaceuticals Inc (NDTP)

I did a little reading, and it would be educational to know more....

I understand the principle of shorting a stock, essentially borrowing shares and having to replace them at some time in the future. This sets up the possibility of a short squeeze.

Shorts will need to cover, and one article tells me that only considering the float for the number of shares available for shorts to cover with, is wrong. Even though a number of outstanding shares might be restricted from their owners from selling them, these same restricted shares may be loaned out.

And that's my confusion. In the case of NDTP - can any of these restricted shares be available for lending purposes to shorts, allowing them to cover and reducing the dimensions of a short squeeze?
