TSUKUBA, Japan, Jan 28, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Half-metals are unique magnetic compounds that have been attracting interest in the developments of mass-storage technologies. Some of the materials in the family of Heusler alloys were predicted to have a half-metallic nature, but their half-metallic electronic structure varies with their composition ratio and atomic ordered structure.The composition-spread thin film of Co75–xMnxSi25 on substrates from the side (left) and top (right). The composition x changes continuously along the film. Copyright: Yuya SakurabaOne property, spin polarization, is fundamental to the material’s half-metallic properties. Spin polarization ratio is a physical property that indicates how polarized the number of electrons with spin in the up and down directions is. Because spin polarization is influenced by the elemental composition of the Heusler alloy, it’s important to characterise and optimise the atomic composition of Heusler alloys to achieve the highest spin polarization. But current methods for determining the spin polarization of half-metals are either time-consuming or only provide an indirect measure.Now, a team of researchers from Japan, led by Professor Yuya Sakuraba of the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, have developed a method to quickly determine the spin polarization of Heusler alloys, using high-brilliance synchrotron radiation. With this approach, they were able to rapidly identify the ideal composition of elements to achieve the highest spin polarisation. Their findings have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.The Heusler alloy in question was a mix of cobalt, manganese and silicon. The research team created composition-spread thin films of the alloy, varying the proportion of manganese from 10 to 40 percent along the length of the sample.They then bombarded the film with extremely bright radiation at the NanoTerasu synchrotron facility which opened in April 2024. This bombardment revealed that the ideal composition to maximise spin polarization in the alloy was for manganese to make up 27 percent of the alloy’s atomic weight.This experiment marked the first successful application of photoelectron spectroscopy at NanoTerasu facility. The experiment was done in a single day – much faster than existing methods of determining the spin polarization.“The findings address a critical challenge in materials science by drastically reducing the time required to evaluate and optimize spin polarization in half-metallic materials,” Professor Sakuraba says.This study paves the way for wider application of the technique not just to half-metallic materials but a variety of other magnetic and spintronic materials. “The rapid, efficient method presented in this study could significantly impact the development of next-generation technologies, such as high-capacity hard disk drives and advanced spintronic devices,” says Professor Sakuraba.Further informationYuya SakurabaNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)SAKURABA.Yuya@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2024.2439781About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAMDr Yasufumi NakamichiSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: NAKAMICHI.Yasufumi@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

深圳, 2025年1月26日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 深圳 - 康哲药业控股有限公司（"康哲药业"）欣然宣布，于2025年1月24日，通过其附属公司与湖南麦济生物技术股份有限公司（"麦济生物"）及其附属公司就1类新药抗IL-4Rα人源化单抗注射液MG-K10（"MG-K10"或"产品"）签订合作协议，获得产品在中国大陆、香港特别行政区、澳门特别行政区、台湾地区及新加坡（"区域"）的协议所约定之共同开发权及独家商业化权利；麦济生物配合商业化活动，并销售、供应产品。合作期限为永久。IL-4Rα被认为是治疗2型炎症性疾病（如特应性皮炎（AD）、哮喘、结节性痒疹等）的关键靶点，抗IL-4Rα单抗则是目前2型炎症性疾病领域最畅销的生物制剂之一。合作产品MG-K10是一种创新的长效抗IL-4Rα人源化单抗，能同时阻断关键2型炎症因子IL-4和IL-13的信号传导，其Fc突变可有效延长半衰期，降低给药频率，有望成为国内首个上市的长效抗IL-4Rα单抗。目前已上市的抗IL-4Rα药物均需要每2周给药一次，而MG-K10只需每4周给药一次，同时呈现良好的疗效和安全性，具有成为同类最优（BIC）的潜力。本次合作标志着德镁医药（前称康哲美丽）在皮肤疾病治疗领域的布局又迈出了关键一步。MG-K10将丰富德镁医药全球差异化创新管线，并与现有产品组合产生高度协同，如在售创新药益路取（替瑞奇珠单抗注射液）、在售独家药喜辽妥（多磺酸粘多糖乳膏）、及皮肤学级护肤品禾零舒缓产品系列（专为AD人群研发），以及在研创新药磷酸芦可替尼乳膏（用于轻中度AD、非节段型白癜风的局部治疗）及povorcitinib（用于治疗非节段型白癜风、化脓性汗腺炎、结节性痒疹和慢性自发性荨麻疹）等。康哲药业将依托被验证的临床开发及商业化能力，与麦济生物共同全力推动MG-K10于中国市场上市，为中国2型炎症性疾病相关患者带来给药频次更低，兼具良好疗效及安全性的治疗新选择。关于MG-K10的更多信息1类新药抗IL-4Rα人源化单抗注射液MG-K10用于治疗2型炎症性疾病，如AD、哮喘、结节性痒疹、过敏性鼻炎、慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉、嗜酸性粒细胞性食管炎、慢性阻塞性肺疾病等，在区域内特定国家/地区拥有物质专利。MG-K10的AD、哮喘和结节性痒疹均已进入中国III期临床试验阶段。在已经完成的成人中重度AD的II期临床试验以及成人中重度哮喘的II期临床试验中，MG-K10均呈现良好的疗效和安全性[1-2]。此外，产品已获得嗜酸性粒细胞性食管炎、慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉、季节性过敏性鼻炎的中国新药临床试验（IND）批件。据弗若斯特沙利文报告，全球IL-4Rα靶向疗法的市场规模预期将于2030年达到287亿美元，2020年至2030年的复合年增长率为21.8%；中国IL-4Rα靶向疗法的市场规模预期将于2030年达到40.8亿美元，2020年至2030年的复合年增长率为76.8%。关于AD适应症MG-K10的首发适应症AD是一种伴有剧烈瘙痒的慢性炎症性皮肤病，是全球疾病负担最高的非致命性皮肤病，全球AD患者数至少2.3亿[3]。同时AD也是我国患病率较高、疾病负担较重的慢性疾病[3]。且我国患病率呈逐步增加趋势，根据2019年全球疾病负担研究，1990年至2019年，中国AD患者数增加25.65%[3]。据估算，目前中国AD患者约3,609万人[3]，其中中重度AD约962.5万人[4]。AD的药物治疗主要包括外用药物治疗和系统治疗。对于中重度AD，外用药物往往不能很好地控制病情，需要启动系统治疗。然而，由于传统AD系统治疗药物疗效及安全性等方面的不足，在临床中，中重度AD患者启动系统治疗往往较晚、依从性不佳、总体控制率较低，临床上仍存在大量未被满足的治疗需求[3]。MG-K10给药间隔更长，每4周给药一次，有望提升患者依从性，给中重度AD患者带来新的有效且安全的系统治疗选择。关于麦济生物麦济生物成立于2016年，始终秉承"创新、高效、安全"的研发理念，专注于过敏性炎症疾病和自身免疫性疾病等领域。麦济生物拥有一支由行业顶尖专家组成的研发团队，凭借卓越的研发能力和深厚的行业积淀，利用特有的TEADA高通量抗体筛选平台，开发高生物学活性、高成药性、差异化的创新抗体药物，致力于为全球患者带来更加安全、有效、便捷的治疗方案。有关麦济生物及其产品的更多资讯，请访问其官方网站：https://www.mabge.com/。关于康哲药业康哲药业是一家链接医药创新与商业化，把控产品全生命周期管理的开放式平台型企业，致力于提供有竞争力的产品和服务，满足尚未满足的医疗需求。康哲药业专注于全球首创（FIC）及同类最优（BIC）的创新产品，并高效推进创新产品临床研究开发和商业化进程，赋能科研成果向诊疗实践的持续转化，造福患者。康哲药业聚焦专科领域，拥有被验证的商业化能力，广泛的渠道覆盖和多疾病领域专家资源，核心在售产品已获领先的学术与市场地位。康哲药业围绕优势专科领域不断纵深发展，以巩固心脑血管/消化业务竞争力，并将皮肤医美、眼科业务独立运营，培育专科小领域的大龙头，提升专科规模效率。同时业务版图拓展至东南亚市场，着力成为全球药企进军东南亚市场的"桥头堡"，助力康哲药业高质量持续健康发展。参考文献/资料1、麦济生物披露的产品AD适应症II期临床数据如下：https://www.mabge.com/index.php?c=show&id=202、麦济生物披露的产品哮喘适应症II期中期临床数据如下：https://www.mabge.com/index.php?c=show&id=183、中华医学会皮肤性病学分会, 中国医师协会皮肤科医师分会. 中国中重度特应性皮炎诊疗临床路径专家共识（2023版） [J] . 中华皮肤科杂志, 2023, 56(11) : 1000-1007.

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Jan 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group” or “CMS”) is pleased to announce that on 24 January 2025, the Group through subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Hunan Mabgeek Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Mabgeek Biotechnology”) and its subsidiary for Class 1 innovative drug anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection MG-K10 (“MG-K10” or the “Product”). The Group has obtained the co-development right as specifically agreed upon in the Agreement and exclusive commercialization right to the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and Singapore (the “Territory”); Mabgeek Biotechnology will support the commercialization activities and is responsible for the sale and supply of the Product. The collaboration term is perpetual.IL-4Rα is considered a key target for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD), asthma, prurigo nodularis, etc. Anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibodies are among the best-selling biologics in this field. MG-K10 is an innovative long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody that simultaneously blocks the signaling of key type 2 inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-13. Following Fc mutation, MG-K10 allows long dosing interval owing to its prolonged half-life, and it is expected to be the first long-acting anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody marketed in China. Currently marketed anti-IL-4Rα drugs require dosing every two weeks, whereas MG-K10 only requires dosing every four weeks, demonstrating good efficacy and safety. MG-K10 has the potential to be the Best-in-Class (BIC).This collaboration marks another significant milestone for Dermavon (formerly known as CMS Skinhealth)’s layout in the dermatology field. MG-K10 will enrich the global differentiated innovative pipeline of Dermavon, and will strongly synergize with the existing product portfolio, such as marketed innovative drug ILUMETRI (tildrakizumab injection), marketed exclusive drug Hirudoid (mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream) and dermatology-grade skincare products of Heling soothing product series (developed for AD patients), and innovative pipeline drugs ruxolitinib cream (for the topical treatment of mild to moderate AD and non-segmental vitiligo) and povorcitinib (for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo, hidradenitis suppurativa, prurigo nodularis and chronic spontaneous urticaria), etc. Leveraging its proven clinical development and commercialization capabilities, the Group will fully cooperate with Mabgeek Biotechnology to promote the approval of MG-K10 in China, bringing a new treatment option with lower dosing frequency, good efficacy and safety to patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases in China.More information about MG-K10MG-K10 is a Class 1 innovative drug anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection that used for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases, including AD, asthma, prurigo nodularis, allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, eosinophilic esophagitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and so on. It holds substance patents in specific countries/regions within the Territory.MG-K10 has entered Phase III clinical trials in China for AD, asthma, and prurigo nodularis. In the completed Phase II clinical trials for adult moderate-to-severe AD and moderate-to-severe asthma, MG-K10 has demonstrated good efficacy and safety[1-2]. Additionally, MG-K10 has obtained IND approval for eosinophilic esophagitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and seasonal allergic rhinitis in China.According to Frost & Sullivan, the global market for treatments targeting IL-4Rα is expected to reach US$28.7 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8% from 2020 to 2030. In China, the market is projected to reach US$4.08 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 76.8% from 2020 to 2030.About AD indicationMG-K10’s first indication, AD, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by severe itching. It is the most burdensome non-fatal skin disease globally, with at least 230 million people affected worldwide[3]. AD is also a prevalent and high-burden chronic disease in China, with the prevalence showing an upward trend[3]. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, the number of AD patients in China increased by 25.65% from 1990 to 2019[3]. It is estimated that there are approximately 36.09 million AD patients in China[3], with approximately 9.625 million suffering from moderate-to-severe AD[4].Current treatment options for AD primarily include topical and systemic treatments. For moderate-to-severe AD, topical medications are often insufficient to achieve disease control, necessitating the initiation of systemic treatments. However, due to the limitations in efficacy and safety of traditional systemic therapies for AD, moderate-to-severe AD patients often experience delays in systemic treatment initiation, poor compliance, and suboptimal disease control, leaving a significant unmet need in clinical practice[3]. MG-K10, with its extended dosing interval of once every four weeks, is expected to improve patient adherence and provide a new, effective, and safe systemic treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe AD.About Mabgeek BiotechnologyMabgeek Biotechnology was founded in 2016 and has always adhered to the research and development concept of “innovation, efficiency and safety”, focusing on the fields of allergic inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan 23, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ZeroPath Corp., a Y Combinator-backed cybersecurity company, today announced the public launch of its LLM-driven code security platform. The company was previously noted for using its platform to find critical zero-day vulnerabilities in major open-source projects. Alongside the launch, the company also announced the completion of its seed funding round led by SurgePoint Capital, with Y Combinator and angel investor Paul Graham both participating.ZeroPath's security testing platform, among the first of its kind, attempts to combine deep program analysis with large language models to detect more complex security vulnerabilities. The system has previously demonstrated remarkable success in identifying critical security flaws in large open-source repositories, including remote code execution vulnerabilities, authorization bypasses, and business logic flaws."Traditional security tools often rely on pattern matching and predefined rules, which can miss complex vulnerabilities that don't fit known patterns," said Raphael Karger, CTO of ZeroPath. "Our platform's ability to understand context and business logic allows it to identify sophisticated security issues that would typically require manual code review by expert security researchers."Unusual for the application security industry, the platform does not rely on rule-based detection of code security problems; instead, it uses large language models to scan large swaths of code and validate potential vulnerabilities before reporting them. The company's approach has proven particularly effective in discovering business logic flaws and authentication vulnerabilities that traditionally require extensive manual review to identify. The approach has also been touted for its ability to provide a lower false positive rate than traditional static analysis tools.For more information about ZeroPath's AI-powered security platform, visit https://www.zeropath.comAbout ZeroPath Corp.:ZeroPath Corp. is a San Francisco-based cybersecurity company that combines artificial intelligence with deep program analysis to detect complex security vulnerabilities.
