Collective procurement ‘big winner’ In 1995, Gan Zhongru, who had worked as a postdoctoral fellow and senior biochemist at Merck&Co. in the United States, returned to China to start a business. Three years later, the team formed by Gan Zhongru developed China’s first genetically recombinant human insulin, becoming the third company after Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to produce and sell recombinant human insulin. Subsequently, under the leadership of Gan Zhongru and his R&D team, Gan Li Pharmaceutical continued to develop the first long-acting insulin analog, the first fast acting insulin analog, the first pre mixed insulin analog, and the first winter insulin in China. The products covered three insulin functional segments: long-acting, fast acting, and medium acting, becoming the “king of insulin” in China. With the acceleration of domestic insulin substitution in recent years, Ganli Pharmaceutical’s operating revenue has increased from 1.771 billion yuan in 2016 to 3.612 billion ...
On November 6, Haichen Pharmaceutical (300584) announced that it has received approval for the addition of a new specification for injection of Labetalol Hydrochloride 150mg through a supplemental drug application. The company recently received a notification from the National Medical Products Administration, approving the addition of the 150mg specification based on the already approved 50mg specification, and is considered to have passed the consistency evaluation. The registration classification of this approval is for chemical drugs, with the manufacturing enterprise being the company itself. The approval number is H20247263. The addition of the new specification will involve changes to the production process, which must be implemented within six months from the date of approval. Labetalol Hydrochloride injection is a novel ultra-short-acting beta-blocker, clinically suitable for the emergency treatment of various rapid cardiac arrhythmias.

The development of therapies for Alzheimer’s disease has always caused many developers to feel exhausted, and now AbbVie has also increased its investment in neurodegenerative diseases. AbbVie has agreed to spend $1.4 billion to acquire Aliada Therapeutics, whose main acquisition asset is Aliada’s authorized Alzheimer’s disease candidate drug ALIA-1758 from Johnson&Johnson. Its mechanism of action is still an anti beta amyloid protein (3pE-A β) antibody, but the unique feature of ALIA-1758 is that it can cross the blood-brain barrier, greatly improving the brain’s absorption rate. Aliada started a phase 1 trial among healthy volunteers in May, but AbbVie believes the timing is ripe for acquisition. Previously, AbbVie made the decision to abandon its internal Alzheimer’s disease asset ABBV-916. This anti beta amyloid antibody has no significant difference in safety and efficacy compared to the already marketed monoclonal antibody therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, AbbVie decided to terminate the development ...
Parkinson’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by movement disorders, autonomic dysfunction, and sleep cognitive problems, affecting nearly 6 million people worldwide. Its neuropathological features include the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the aggregation of alpha synuclein within cells. Although neuroinflammation involving glial cells and immune cells is believed to be related to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease, further research is needed to determine whether these pathways are associated with sporadic diseases. In addition, the relative contributions of neurons and glial cells in Parkinson’s pathology are still unclear. Although single-cell technology, including multi omics analysis, is gradually becoming a popular method for studying neurodegenerative diseases, these tools are only now beginning to be applied in Parkinson’s disease research, especially utilizing human brain tissue. On October 30, 2024, the Zhang Le research group at Yale University published a research paper titled “Single cell transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of Parkinson’s disease ...
On November 1, Aimei Vaccine announced that it has submitted a drug market registration application for its self-developed 13-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine to the National Medical Products Administration. The results from a completed Phase III clinical study show that Aimei’s 13-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine has demonstrated good immunogenicity and safety, meeting the clinical preset objectives. Aimei’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Aimei Biotechnology Co., Ltd., has obtained the corresponding drug production license for this product. The 13-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine has been referred to as the “king of global vaccines” and has been the world’s top-selling vaccine for ten consecutive years. Pfizer’s 13-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine (Prevnar 13®) is the best-selling vaccine globally and has frequently ranked among the top ten best-selling drugs worldwide.

Over the years, the global sales of the 13-valent conjugate ...
On October 24, 2024, Dyno Therapeutics, a gene technology company that utilizes artificial intelligence for in vivo gene delivery, announced its second research collaboration with Roche to jointly develop the next generation of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors for gene therapy targeting neurological diseases.Dyno and Roche previously announced a research collaboration and licensing agreement in October 2020 for neurological disorders and liver targeted therapies. According to this new collaboration agreement, Dyno Therapeutics will provide Roche with more opportunities to utilize the company’s leading platform and sequence design technology in the field to achieve in vivo gene delivery. The existing gene therapies mainly use a small amount of naturally occurring AAV vectors, which have problems such as low delivery efficiency, pre-existing immunity, and manufacturability. To overcome these challenges, Dyno took the lead in applying artificial intelligence and high-throughput in vivo data acquisition technology to engineer the AAV virus capsid, in order to ...
In reality, the brain-computer interface is connected to your brain at one end, extracting your ideas from the dense and complex neuronal electrical signals, and connected to external devices such as computers or machinery at the other end, directly bypassing your body to turn ideas into control signals and further execute commands. It does not need to rely on the peripheral nerves and muscle systems of your limbs to directly establish direct information exchange between the brain center and external devices. Musk released a monkey for experiment in 2021. The monkey typed a line of words “I want to eat snacks” on the computer through mind operation. This is supported by brain-computer interface technology. The cochlear implant that helps the disabled to obtain sound is the most successful and most popular technology for brain-computer interface so far. Its principle is to convert sound signals into electrical signals and transmit them ...
