In the fields of medicine, scientific research, manufacturing, etc., professional-grade disposable consumables often play a pivotal role. These seemingly simple but crucial products not only bear the heavy responsibility of ensuring safety and improving efficiency, but also require the deep integration of cutting-edge technological innovation and practical applications, which also makes the research and development of high-end disposable consumables a complex and sophisticated system engineering. However, technological innovation does not exist in isolation. It must be rooted in actual needs and requires strong alliances between powerful companies. Now, this practice has another typical example of cooperation. Recently, Bluesail Medical and Wanhua Chemical signed a strategic cooperation agreement at Wanhua Chemical’s Cishan headquarters and held a joint innovation laboratory unveiling ceremony. The content of this cooperation is mainly for both parties to give full play to their strengths and carry out deep integration, namely “Wanhua Chemical’s polyurethane industry chain advantages and ...
Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the research and development, clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative drugs, announced today that the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) has approved NEFECON® (budesonide enteric-coated capsules, NEFECON®) for the treatment of adult patients with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgA nephropathy) at risk of progression to delay renal function decline by 1, with no baseline proteinuria level restriction. This means that NEFECON®, as the world’s first and only causal treatment for IgA nephropathy fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has further expanded its coverage, bringing new hope to more Chinese IgA nephropathy patients. The results of the NefIgArd Phase 3 global clinical trial showed that compared with placebo, NefIgArd® not only brought about a lasting decrease in proteinuria and reduced the risk of microscopic hematuria, but more importantly, it showed clinically relevant and statistically significant treatment ...
Zhiyao Bang October 23, 2024 09:01 Shanghai On October 9, 2024, insitro, a new drug development company that supports machine learning, announced the signing of three strategic agreements with Eli Lilly, focusing on developing potential new drugs for the treatment of metabolic diseases, including metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver (MASLD), based on the targets identified by insitro using the company’s AI based platform.Metabolic diseases, including MASLD, affect millions of people worldwide, but effective treatment options are still limited. The current treatment mainly treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. This collaboration aims to combine Insitro’s machine learning platform with Lilly’s expertise in cutting-edge drug delivery and metabolic disease biology to change existing models. According to the first two agreements, Insitro can choose to license Lilly’s proprietary, clinically advanced ternary N-acetylglucosamine (GalNAc) delivery technology, which will be combined with two different small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules discovered and developed by ...
Recently, GE Healthcare launched its first CT production line in France, marking a significant expansion of the company’s business at its Booker factory in the Yvelines department of France. It is reported that the new production line was announced in 2023 with the aim of improving the company’s agility, reducing carbon emissions, and better serving European customers.

It is understood that the new production line is part of GE Healthcare’s “In Europe for Europe” program, which is expected to reduce carbon emissions related to scanner transportation in Europe by 84%. This reduction is mainly due to ...
Going overseas is not only a dream, but also a big adventure that Hengrui Medicine has to take. Even under the new measurement standards, there is such a voice that the success of going overseas will be the key to determining whether Hengrui Medicine can maintain its “number one” status. Indeed, Hengrui Medicine, which has accelerated its innovation transformation, has come to a crossroads. First, relying on the domestic market in the past, Hengrui Medicine may not be in a hurry to layout overseas markets. However, with the involution of domestic innovative drugs and pharmaceutical companies going overseas to find incremental growth, internationalization has also been raised to a more important level. Although Hengrui Medicine proposed the direction of “internationalization” as early as in its 2020 annual report, its internationalization has not been smooth in the past few years. Secondly, carrelizumab has already fallen behind, and the internationalization of PD-1 ...

Writing | My Best Friend Old Red Riding Hood Sarcoma is a rare heterogeneous stromal tumor. They mainly occur in bones and soft tissues, and have a particularly severe impact on young patients [1-3]. In the United States, about 13000 cases of soft tissue sarcoma and 4000 cases of osteosarcoma are diagnosed every year. Although the incidence rate is very low, the mortality rate is still high. For example, osteosarcoma is the third leading cause of cancer death in patients under the age of 20. The treatment plan varies depending on the subtype and stage of the disease, including surgical resection, chemotherapy, targeted systemic therapy, and in some cases, radiation therapy [4,5]. Although significant progress has been made in specific subtypes, current treatment methods rarely cure them. The overall 5-year survival rate for soft tissue sarcoma is 65%, and the overall 5-year survival rate for bone cancer is 50% -60% ...
Writing | Snow Moon G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) guide cellular responses to environmental signals, including hormones, neurotransmitters, and chemokines. This process is achieved through a complex biochemical cycle mediated by heterotrimeric G protein. After GPCR binds to the ligand, the G α subunit binds to GTP, becomes active, and separates from the G β – γ complex and GPCR. The separated G α – guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and free G β – γ initiate downstream signaling, including the generation of second messengers, biochemical interactions, and ion channel changes. The GTPase activity of G α hydrolyzes GTP to guanosine diphosphate (GDP), thereby terminating signal transduction and allowing Gabg to reassemble with GPCRs, enabling cells to respond to reactivation of GPCRs. In the G α protein family, the Gai/o family includes inhibitory subtypes that regulate biological responses by inhibiting the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by adenyl cyclase AC. AC ...
