-The ship&amp;rsquo;s name pays tribute to Japan and its growing role within the Group&amp;rsquo;s network.  On her maiden voyage, she will transport thousands of cars from Asia to Brazil-
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
NAPLES, Italy, Apr. 30, 2026 /ANSA=Kyodo JBN/ -- A few days ago, the christening and delivery of the new Pure Car &amp;amp; Truck Carrier (PCTC) Grande Tokyo took place in Shanghai. For the Grimaldi Group&amp;rsquo;s fleet, this marks the tenth ammonia-ready vessel, meaning she is designed for the future use of ammonia as an alternative fuel.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
This is also the last of seven sister vessels ordered from the shipyards SWS (Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Company Limited) and CSTC (China Shipbuilding Trading Company Limited), both part of China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited (CSSC).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The Grande Tokyo has been designed for the efficient transport of vehicles (cars, SUVs, vans, etc.), both electric and powered by traditional fuels, as well as any other type of rolling cargo. She has a loading capacity of 9,241 CEU (Car Equivalent Units), with four decks also capable of carrying other rolling cargo, including heavy loads of up to 250 tons and as high as 6.5 meters.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The vessel is named after the city of Tokyo as a symbolic tribute to Japan and its central role within Grimaldi&amp;rsquo;s Asia-focused services. The Italian group serves several Japanese ports within regular direct connections between Asia and Europe, the Persian Gulf and East Africa, and continues to strengthen its presence in the country. Thanks to transshipment options and a network comprising over 150 ports in 60 countries, the company is able to connect Japan to the world&amp;rsquo;s main trade routes.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Among those attending the christening ceremony were Zhang Wei, Vice President of SWS, and&lt;br /&gt;
Luigi Pacella Grimaldi, Automotive Intercontinental Director of the Grimaldi Group.&lt;br /&gt;
The role of godmother of the Grande Tokyo was entrusted to Leina Kawachi, Head of Human Resources at Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, a leading Japanese manufacturer of trucks and buses, highlighting the company&amp;rsquo;s strong partnership with the Grimaldi Group for vehicle exports from Japan to key markets in Africa and the Middle East.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;With our latest-generation ammonia-ready PCTCs, featuring high transport capacity and drastically reduced emissions, we have set a new standard of efficiency and environmental sustainability in global vehicle shipping along the main trade routes,&amp;rdquo; said Emanuele Grimaldi, Managing Director of the Grimaldi Group. &amp;ldquo;We reaffirm our commitment to strengthening our role as a reliable partner for our customers, supporting their growth with increasingly advanced logistics solutions capable of adapting to the needs of an ever-evolving market.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The Grande Tokyo&amp;rsquo;s maiden voyage will begin in the coming days from Asia bound for Brazil. The vessel will depart carrying approximately 6,800 cars destined for the ports of Paranagu&amp;aacute; and Rio de Janeiro.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Main technologies on board the Grande  Tokyo&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
With a length of 200 metres, a beam of 38 metres and a gross tonnage of approximately 77,500 tonnes, the Grande Tokyo is equipped with a state-of-the-art electronic engine, which offers one of the lowest specific fuel consumptions in its class and complies with the most stringent international limits for CO₂, NOx, and SOx emissions.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
In particular, thanks to her size &amp;ndash; which maximizes loading capacity &amp;ndash; proven ship design, innovative features, and state-of-the-art systems, the Grande Tokyo reduces the CO₂ emissions index per transported cargo by up to 50% compared to previous-generation PCTC vessels.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the Grande Tokyo has received the &quot;Ammonia Ready&quot; class notation from RINA (Italian Naval Register), certifying that she can be converted in the future to use ammonia as a zero- carbon alternative fuel. She is also equipped for shore power supply during berthing (cold ironing), which, where available, provides a green alternative to the use of traditional fuels while docked in port.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The Grimaldi Group, headquartered in Naples, operates a fleet of over 130 vessels and employs approximately 21,000 people. Wholly owned by the Grimaldi family, it is a multinational logistics Group specialized in the operation of roll-on/roll- off vessels, car carriers and ferries. It comprises seven shipping companies, namely: Grimaldi Deep Sea, operating in the transport of rolling cargo and containers on the Atlantic routes and between the Mediterranean and West Africa; Grimaldi Euromed, specialists in the transport of rolling freight in Europe, in the Motorways of the Sea and in passenger transport in the Mediterranean with the Grimaldi Lines brand; Atlantic Container Line, which offers transport services for containers and rolling cargo between North America and Northern Europe; Malta Motorways of the Sea, whose vessels connect Malta to the main ports in the Mediterranean; Minoan Lines, operating in Greek cabotage for the transport of freight and passengers; Finnlines, carrying freight and passengers in the North and Baltic Sea; and Trasmed GLE, active in the transport of freight and passengers between mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
These maritime connections are the core of an advanced logistics chain, which includes port terminals and road transport companies. The 20-plus ports and terminals owned/operated by the Grimaldi Group are located in 13 countries: Italy, Spain, Greece, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria and Benin. Most of these terminals are fitted with Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) facilities, warehouses and workshops.&lt;br /&gt;

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
LONDON, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, announces the appointment of Diego Mattiolo as School Director and Head of Education of its new London campus, with courses starting from in the 2026/2027 Academic Year.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Diego Mattiolo School Director and Head of Education NABA London campus.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The appointment marks a strategic step in the evolution of NABA&#039;s educational model and strengthens the Academy&#039;s presence in the UK market, at a time when the country is increasingly focusing on creative education to meet the growing demand for skills in the cultural and creative industries.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
With over ten years of international experience in academic management, Diego Mattiolo brings to NABA strong expertise in leading multicultural teams and developing dynamic, student-centred learning environments. His international profile, combined with his strong roots in the UK context, will be key to positioning the new campus within one of the world&#039;s most dynamic and stimulating environments for creativity and artistic professions. As Mattiolo underlines, the goal is to build an international learning environment enriched by the care and craftsmanship typical of Italian expertise, with an inclusive, project-driven approach capable of connecting students directly with the professional world.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Building on the experience and heritage of its Milan and Rome campuses, NABA brings to London a distinctive element: Italian know-how, globally recognised in the fields of design, fashion and visual arts. This heritage is understood not only as a cultural legacy, but as a design-driven approach that integrates research, experimentation and making. It translates into an educational model that combines creative vision with practical application, in line with the purpose: &quot;Through Artistic Intelligence we nurture people to design a new tomorrow.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

        <description>CAIRO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Huawei Network Summit 2026 (HNS 2026) held recently in ...</description>
                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
CAIRO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Huawei Network Summit 2026 (HNS 2026) held recently in Cairo, Huawei and industry organizations officially released the&amp;nbsp;Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus Technical White Paper.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The white paper introduces for the first time four key pillars of campus security&amp;mdash;connectivity, asset, spatial, and privacy security&amp;mdash;to build a full-domain security architecture with multi-layered protection. This marks a new stage in AI campus security, evolving from single-point defense to all-domain awareness and proactive intelligent defense.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The launch ceremony of the white paper&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The white paper provides a systematic approach to building a full-scope security technology architecture and elaborates on the world&#039;s first complete framework for campus network security.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Security is the cornerstone of AI campuses,&quot; said Ricky Zhu, Vice President of the Campus Network Domain, Huawei&#039;s Data Communication Product Line. &quot;By integrating digital and physical domains, Huawei pioneers multi-layered protection across connectivity, asset, spatial, and privacy security. This development shifts campuses from reactive defense to proactive awareness and intelligent safeguarding.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Key highlights of the four major campus security dimensions include:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
・Connectivity security: On the wireless side, Huawei&#039;s exclusive Wi-Fi Shield technology eliminates the risk of packet eavesdropping at the physical layer. On the wired side, end-to-end MACsec combined with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) provides long-term security for data transmission even as quantum computing matures, protecting against data leakage.&lt;br&gt;・Asset security: The surging number of dumb terminals in governments, finance, and other sectors has heightened the risk of network attacks. To address this, Huawei&#039;s solution leverages clustering identification to automatically recognize dumb terminals with 95% accuracy. By combining terminal behavior anomaly detection with local inference on switches, the solution can detect traffic anomalies in seconds and proactively block them, effectively preventing network intrusions and lateral movement. The resulting benefits include terminal visibility and controllability without unauthorized access and spoofing.&lt;br&gt;・Spatial security: Huawei&#039;s Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) sensing technology detects spatial security conditions through a single wireless access point (AP), preventing intrusions into sensitive areas. The technology analyzes only wireless signal disturbance patterns to safeguard spatial security while protecting personal privacy to the maximum extent.&lt;br&gt;・Privacy security: In executive rooms, meeting rooms, hotel guest rooms, and other sensitive environments, traditional methods for detecting hidden imaging devices are often inefficient and prone to high miss rates. Huawei tackles this by launching the iGuard spycam-detecting AP, which offers three key advantages&amp;mdash;comprehensive detection, precise detection, and 24/7 operation&amp;mdash;to safeguard trade secrets and personal privacy in such private places.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Looking ahead, Huawei will continue collaborating with customers and industry organizations to put the white paper&#039;s core technical indicators into practice across industries. This effort will help to drive the high-quality development of secure and intelligent campuses.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

Deployment brings intelligent, vehicle-based autonomy to Australia, establishing a new operating model for construction and mining environments.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied Intuition, Inc., a leader in physical AI, today announced its collaboration with Heidelberg Materials, one of the world&#039;s largest integrated manufacturers of building materials and solutions, to deploy autonomous haulage systems for Heidelberg Materials&#039; quarry operations, starting in Clarence Sands, Australia.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Applied Intuition will provide its Self-Driving System (SDS) for Construction to support autonomous haulage operations within Heidelberg Materials&#039; fleet of construction and mining vehicles in Australia. The deployment marks the next real-world application of Applied Intuition&#039;s autonomy platform in industrial environments. Upon successful completion, it will support the expansion of autonomous operations within Heidelberg Materials&#039; broader Australian network.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The collaboration also challenges the standard industry model. While autonomy solutions traditionally target the largest quarry sites, this system is designed for smaller operations, including those running just two 40-ton trucks, making it deployable across quarry sites of varying size worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;No two quarry or construction sites operate the same way, with different layouts, constraints and economics,&quot; said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. &quot;We&#039;ve built our platform to adapt to that reality. This partnership shows we can take the same core system used in large mining operations and apply it to smaller, infrastructure-constrained quarry sites, scaling it across hundreds of unique locations.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
For Heidelberg Materials, the partnership is aimed at enhancing safety and operational performance. It also reflects the need for an autonomy solution that can operate at large sites and smaller ones too, whereas traditional autonomous haulage systems are often too infrastructure-heavy or costly to scale. For Applied Intuition, it serves as a proof point that its autonomy platform is designed not just for one-off deployments, but for global scale across construction, quarry and mining environments of any size.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Applied Intuition&#039;s system runs directly on the vehicle, with integrated perception, decision-making and safety systems onboard, enabling reliable operation without constant connectivity or heavy site infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The collaboration builds on Applied Intuition&#039;s growing presence in construction and mining autonomy and reinforces its broader physical AI strategy. The same core platform has already been deployed in other industries, including trucking and defense, with learnings from each domain contributing to continuous system improvements. Applied Intuition&#039;s SDS platform strategy also enables the company to bring technologies proven in other domains into construction and mining, helping accelerate development and deployment.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Through this project, Applied Intuition demonstrates the range of its autonomy platform, from some of the largest mining trucks in the world to smaller quarry vehicles operating in constrained, lower-infrastructure environments. Together, these deployments highlight the company&#039;s approach to building scalable autonomy for construction and mining from the ground up.&lt;br /&gt;

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
LAS VEGAS, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --&amp;nbsp;Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, today announced that two of its innovative solutions for the media industry have been recognized as winners at the 2026 NAB Show Product of the Year Awards, which honors the most significant and innovative products showcased at the NAB Show. Its&amp;nbsp;Video Quality Enhancement and Smart Erase solutions were winners in the Streaming category and Intelligent Technology category.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Diffusion Transformer (DiT) for Video Quality Enhancement and Super-Resolution in Live Streaming&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
This AI-driven DiT enhancement technology delivers high-fidelity visual quality across diverse use cases such as OTT platforms, live e-commerce, gaming, short-form video, AIGC content generation, and professional video production &amp;ndash; beyond the typical livestreaming use case. Powered by cutting-edge DiT architecture&amp;mdash;advancing beyond conventional CNN and GAN approaches&amp;mdash;it delivers authentic, natural texture details and industry-leading real-time performance across video enhancement scenarios, setting a new global benchmark for video enhancement.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Designed for the global-market, its capabilities include real-time 4K super-resolution&amp;mdash;critical for high-resolution devices and immersive experiences across diverse use cases&amp;mdash;compression artifact removal to eliminate transmission glitches, 120 FPS frame interpolation for smooth playback, targeted ROI (Face/Text) enhancement, and SDR-to-HDR and color enhancement to deliver lifelike visuals resonating with global audiences. With flexible visual tuning driven by self-developed AI vision large models, the platform smoothly adapts to all kinds of business scenarios such as the low-latency demands of real-time live streaming, steadily improving key operational outcomes, including user quality of experience (QoE), platform watch time, and overall advertising performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Smart Erase in the Global Distribution of Short Dramas and E-commerce&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Complementing the DiT enhancement solution, Smart Erase is an intelligent video processing tool that enables seamless blurring, mosaicking or removal of logos, subtitles, faces and license plates. It automates privacy protection for sensitive visual elements, and is widely adopted by short drama platforms, cross-border e-commerce brands and independent media studios to streamline global content localization and expand content reach worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Its core capabilities include AI-driven subtitle removal, logo removal, and privacy protection (automatic blur/mosaicking of faces and license plates). Built on Latent Space Transformers, its end-to-end generative architecture ensures seamless restoration, while flexible modes (Automatic, Designated Region, Hybrid) and batch processing support massive video volumes, integrating with OCR, translation, and AI dubbing for efficient multi-language content localization.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
With over 20 years of experience in audio and video technologies, Tencent Cloud Media Services provide industry-leading and comprehensive one-stop solutions from content creation, media processing, to streaming and secure, accelerated distribution. The services cover a full range of scenario-specific media AI capabilities, including industry-leading AI visual enhancement (frame interpolation, super resolution, SDR-to-HDR, color enhancement), AI-driven content generation (text-to-image, image-to-image, reference-based multi-image generation, text-to-video, image-to-video), AI-enhanced workflow tools (object removal, translation, voice cloning &amp;amp; dubbing, large model understanding, highlight auto-clipping) , among others.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Securing two NAB Show awards is a testament to Tencent Cloud&#039;s dedication to building AI-driven video technologies that solve the most pressing challenges facing global media, e-commerce, and gaming partners,&quot; said Gary Hsu, Head of Media&amp;nbsp; Solutions, North America. &quot;Our DiT enhancement solution is not limited to live streaming&amp;mdash;it elevates visual quality across OTT, live e-commerce, gaming, short videos, AIGC, and professional production&amp;mdash;while Smart Erase simplifies global content localization, reducing costs and improving efficiency. Both innovations are designed to support our partners stand out in a competitive global market.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;These awards reinforce that our focus on user-centric innovation is resonating globally,&quot; added Gary. &quot;DiT addresses the trade-off between visual quality and speed, delivering cinema-grade experiences without latency, while Smart Erase automates tedious content cleanup and localization&amp;mdash;empowering brands to accelerate time-to-market and broaden their global reach. We&#039;re proud to lead the industry in redefining what&#039;s possible with video technology, and we&#039;re excited to continue empowering our global partners to thrive.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
NAB Show Product of the Year Award winners were selected by a panel of industry experts in 16 categories and announced in a live awards ceremony at NAB Show on April 22.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;NAB is honored to recognize the some of the industry&#039;s most innovative products that are shaping the future of content creation, distribution and monetization,&quot; said Eric Trabb, senior vice president, Strategic Alliances &amp;amp; Partnerships at NAB, &quot;Congratulations to Tencent Cloud on earning the 2026 NAB Show Product of the Year Award for &#039;Diffusion Transformer (DiT) for Video Quality Enhancement and Super-Resolution in Live Streaming&#039; and &#039;Smart Erase in the Global Distribution of Short Dramas and E-commerce&#039;&amp;mdash; a cutting-edge solution enhancing a critical stage of the content lifecycle and helping storytellers succeed in today&#039;s dynamic media landscape.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

DENPASAR, Indonesia, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --&amp;nbsp; Bali Beach Hotel, the Heritage Collection is celebrating its second year of operations following its landmark restoration, marking the return of Bali&#039;s oldest hotel as a premier heritage luxury destination.

Soekarno, also known as Bung Karno.

&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A Timeless Legacy Reimagined at the Bali Beach Hotel, the Heritage Collection&lt;br /&gt;

Envisioned by Indonesia&#039;s Founding Father President Soekarno in the 1960s, the only ten-story hotel on the island is marked as the iconic landmark when it was first launched in 1966. Originally intended to symbolize Bali&#039;s opening to the outside world as international travel started to arise, the explicit icons of globalization became an enchanting landmark situated in the serene coastal town of Sanur, with its tranquil beaches and lush landscape. After decades of operations and renamed Grand Inna Bali Beach Hotel, this historic landmark underwent extensive restoration to revive the soul of Bali Beach Hotel and preserve its rich heritage and historical significance.

Enveloped in white materials, notably the Bali Beach Hotel tower, its original granite-textured and marble-painted finish signifies the passage of time. At the crown of the property is the meticulously designed tunnel-like hotel lobby. It commands spatial presence and an engaging visual journey, ensuring it does not compete visually with the original structure. The majestic reincarnation not only restores the hotel&#039;s former grandeur but also infuses it with new significance, focusing on reviving the spirit of the hotel through careful preservation, thoughtful conservation, and sensitive addition, ensuring the original design elements shine while incorporating modern touches.&lt;br /&gt;

S.Pellegrino puts meaningful connection at the heart of its new global activation by transforming its iconic bottle into a series of thought-provoking questions, brought to life through Lewis Hamilton&#039;s&amp;nbsp;unscripted conversation with lifelong friends&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
MILAN, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- S.Pellegrino&amp;reg;, the iconic premium Italian sparkling water, today announced the launch of its new global brand activation, &#039;Dinner Dialogues,&#039; featuring legendary driver Lewis Hamilton. S.Pellegrino has long been associated with table &amp;ndash; and all the life affirming and memorable experiences that happen around it. For this new activation, S.Pellegrino has transformed its iconic bottle label into a series of thought provoking questions that spark conversation, connection and shared experiences&amp;mdash;encouraging everyone to bring their best selves to the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.multivu.com/s_pellegrino/9395751-en-dinner-dialogues-lewis-hamilton-and-friends-bring-to-the-table&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;https://www.multivu.com/s_pellegrino/9395751-en-dinner-dialogues-lewis-hamilton-and-friends-bring-to-the-table&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
At the heart of the Dinner Dialogues activation is a memorable dinner that reunites Lewis Hamilton and 3 of his lifelong friends. Full of shared stories and moments of connection, inspired by the questions posed by the brand.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;I&#039;ve always loved spending time around the table with my friends and family, but with my schedule, it&#039;s not easy to find the time as often as I&#039;d like. Time passes so quickly, so to sit down with S.Pellegrino and some of my oldest friends and just let the conversation flow was really special,&quot; said Hamilton. &quot;We reconnected over shared memories and even discovered a few new things about each other along the way. It&#039;s a reminder of how great it can be to get together, to chat openly and honestly, and that finding connections is something we should all prioritise.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;There is no place more genuine than the table &amp;ndash; taking a seat alongside people you love, settling into an amazing meal, and sharing your most authentic selves. That&#039;s&amp;nbsp;S.Pellegrino&#039;s truest brand belief, and I&#039;m thrilled to see it come to life with Lewis Hamilton and his three lifelong friends in &#039;Dinner Dialogues&#039;,&quot; said Elisa Gregori, Global Chief Growth Officer, Nestl&amp;eacute; Waters and Premium Beverages. &quot;Creating this experience with Lewis is an incredible opportunity to extend our passion for bringing people together, to connect&amp;nbsp;more meaningfully with&amp;nbsp;consumers around the world, and to show how&amp;nbsp;S.Pellegrino elevates and transforms the experience at the table.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;Dinner Dialogues&#039; is a captivating short documentary film of Lewis Hamilton engaging in an unscripted conversation with his closest childhood friends. Prompted by the very questions found on S.Pellegrino&#039;s new special edition bottles&amp;mdash;like &quot;what dream have you quietly kept alive&quot;&amp;mdash;their spontaneous exchanges, personal revelations, and never-before-heard stories show the power of S.Pellegrino to bring out the best in us and our connections, and inspire global audiences to engage in deeper, more meaningful experiences at the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The campaign film was directed by award-winning filmmaker Lana Wilson (produced by Capisco &amp;amp; Washington Square films) and developed by global creative agency Ogilvy. Lana Wilson: &quot;For me, a great question cuts through the noise. It can move us past small talk and into something real - stories, memories, conversations that will stay with you forever. That&#039;s where connection really starts. That&#039;s what I want people to experience from the film.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
LOS ANGELES, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;amp;l=en&amp;amp;o=4676624-1&amp;amp;h=371269745&amp;amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.icann.org%2F&amp;amp;a=Internet+Corporation+for+Assigned+Names+and+Numbers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers&lt;/a&gt; (ICANN), the nonprofit organization that coordinates the Internet&#039;s Domain Name System (DNS), today announced that its&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;amp;l=en&amp;amp;o=4676624-1&amp;amp;h=1812749719&amp;amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fnewgtldprogram.icann.org%2Fen&amp;amp;a=New+gTLD+Program%3A+2026+Round&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;New gTLD Program: 2026 Round&lt;/a&gt; application window is now open. Generic top-level domains, or gTLDs, are the part of a web address after the last dot. For the first time in over a decade businesses, communities, governments, and other organizations have the opportunity to operate unique digital assets, such as .brand, .city, or .industry, for the use of their business, customers, or constituents.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
ICANN Opens Application Window for New Generic Top-Level Domains&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A Strategic Tool for the Digital Era&lt;br&gt;A gTLD is a global digital identifier that can anchor businesses in the digital arena, providing control over the left and right of the dot. The previous application round in 2012 resulted in the introduction of more than 1,200 new gTLDs, including those for brands like .microsoft and .sky, geographic locations such as .africa and .berlin, and general terms like .bank and .eco. New gTLDs have demonstrated their benefits in building brand trust, creating vibrant local digital ecosystems, and providing more intuitive navigation for users.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Key Benefits of Operating a gTLD&lt;br&gt;A gTLD is a unique digital home that provides:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
・Control and Flexibility: Define your own digital ecosystem by determining who can register under your domain name.&lt;br&gt;・Security: Strengthen online transactions and build robust defenses against cyber threats, protecting both your brand and your customers.&lt;br&gt;・Competitive Edge:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;amp;l=en&amp;amp;o=4676624-1&amp;amp;h=3145171550&amp;amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.icann.org%2Fresources%2Fpress-material%2Frelease-2025-05-20-en&amp;amp;a=Marketers+overwhelmingly+agree&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Marketers overwhelmingly agree&lt;/a&gt;, with 92 percent recognizing gTLD benefits like differentiation, enhanced trust, and improved SEO.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;gTLDs are unique digital tools that can be used in meaningful and innovative ways to help achieve long-term goals,&quot; said Kurtis Lindqvist, President and CEO, ICANN. &quot;Whether building a brand for a company, spotlighting a geographic region or city, strengthening a community, or launching a business to offer domain names under a new registry, a new gTLD can be an innovative tool for commerce, security, and communication.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The 2026 Round will expand the number of languages available for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) by accepting gTLD applications in 27 different scripts, representing hundreds of languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Devanagari, and Thai. This expansion will make the Internet more accessible and user-friendly for billions of people who use non-Latin-based scripts.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
MANILA, Philippines, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/officialTourismPHL&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;The Philippines&lt;/a&gt; is advancing its position as an emerging premium golf tourism destination in Asia, offering a distinctive blend of championship courses, tropical landscapes, and integrated leisure experiences. This trajectory aligns with global industry trends, with the Golf Tourism Market Forecast and Outlook 2026&amp;ndash;2036 projecting growth from USD 24.8 billion in 2026 to USD 39.2 billion by 2036, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. While established markets such as the United States and Europe continue to lead, countries across Asia-Pacific and the Gulf are expanding investments in sports tourism infrastructure. Within this evolving landscape, the Philippines presents a differentiated value proposition defined by destination diversity, competitive pricing, and integrated travel experiences.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
With direct flight access of approximately three to five hours from major Northeast Asian cities to key gateways such as Manila, Cebu, and Clark, the Philippines offers both convenience and variety. Complemented by English-speaking hospitality and seamless travel experiences, the destination appeals to both short-stay golfers and long-haul leisure markets.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A Multi-Destination Golf Experience Across an Archipelago&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The Philippines offers a golf experience shaped by diversity rather than a single location, where each destination presents its own character and setting.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
In Luzon, golf begins in and around Metro Manila, from the historic Club Intramuros Golf Course within the capital to the elevated courses of Batangas and Tagaytay, including Mount Malarayat Golf &amp;amp; Country Club, Summit Point Golf &amp;amp; Country Club, and Splendido Taal Golf Club, set against the backdrop of Taal Lake. To the north, Clark serves as a modern golf hub, anchored by Mimosa Plus Golf Course and Pradera Verde Golf &amp;amp; Country Club, with Subic International Golf Club nearby. Further into the highlands, Baguio&#039;s John Hay Golf offers a cooler, pine-lined experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
In the Visayas, golf is intertwined with island life. Cebu&#039;s Liloan Golf &amp;amp; Leisure Estate, Club Filipino de Cebu, and Alta Vista Golf &amp;amp; Country Club offer coastal and elevated views, while in Boracay, Fairways and Bluewater Golf &amp;amp; Country Club integrates golf into a world-renowned beach destination. Iloilo and Bacolod add cultural depth, anchored by Iloilo Golf &amp;amp; Country Club, established in 1907 and recognized as the oldest golf course in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
In Mindanao, the experience becomes more expansive and relaxed. Davao&#039;s Apo Golf &amp;amp; Country Club, Rancho Palos Verdes Golf &amp;amp; Country Club, and South Pacific Golf Club offer variety within one destination, while Cagayan de Oro and Bukidnon provide quieter, immersive settings such as Pueblo de Oro Golf &amp;amp; Country Club and Del Monte Golf Course. In Dapitan, Dakak Golf and Beach Resort completes the experience with coastal play.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Together, these destinations create a continuous yet varied journey, where proximity enhances accessibility and diversity defines the experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Expanding International Market Reach&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The Philippines&#039; growing global relevance is reflected in its expanding international market base. The country attracts travelers from Australia, Papua New Guinea, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Finland, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Taiwan region, and China.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A notable milestone in early 2026 was the arrival of the first all-French golf group, composed entirely of first-time visitors. Enabled by new France&amp;ndash;Philippines connectivity, this signals a breakthrough into the European market and reflects a broader shift in perception: the Philippines is increasingly recognized as a viable long-haul golf destination.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Integrated Luxury and High-Value Experiences&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
What distinguishes the Philippines is its ability to position golf within a broader lifestyle experience. Across destinations such as Clark, Cebu, Batangas, and Boracay, travelers can move seamlessly from championship courses to wellness offerings, island excursions, and curated dining experiences.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
In Baguio, golf is complemented by a cool mountain climate, while in Iloilo and Bacolod, it is enriched by heritage and gastronomy. In Cagayan de Oro and Bukidnon, expansive landscapes offer privacy and immersion, while Davao combines golf with proximity to nature and emerging luxury developments.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Resorts and tourism operators offer bespoke, all-inclusive packages integrating accommodations, transfers, dining, and scheduled play into seamless itineraries. These are particularly appealing to leisure travelers, private groups, and corporate clients seeking convenience and elevated experiences.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Compared to more saturated destinations in Asia, the Philippines offers space, pace, and a sense of exclusivity defined by uncrowded fairways and diverse environments. Competitive pricing further enhances its appeal, positioning the country as a destination where luxury is defined by quality, authenticity, and ease.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Here, golf unfolds as part of a larger narrative&amp;mdash;from sunrise tee-offs overlooking the sea to evenings shaped by local flavors and coastal ambiance. This seamless interplay between sport and setting defines the Philippine experience: a destination where golf meets the sophistication of a tropical escape.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
CEBU CITY, Philippines, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Public&amp;ndash;private partnerships played a key role in the successful hosting of the ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) 2026, as industry leaders, institutions, and stakeholders worked in collaboration with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/DepartmentOfTourism&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Department of Tourism (DOT)&lt;/a&gt; to deliver the region&#039;s premier tourism gathering in Cebu.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The Philippines showcased its world-famous brand of hospitality at the ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) 2026 held in the cities of Cebu, Lapu-Lapu, and Mandaue throughout a week-long event. Courtesy of Department of Tourism Office of Public Affairs and Advocacy&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Held from 26 to 30 January 2026, the forum carried the theme &quot;Navigating Our Tourism Future, Together,&quot; underscoring a shared commitment to regional cooperation and inclusive growth. The forum was designed to strengthen connectivity, enhance destination competitiveness, and advance a more inclusive and future‑ready tourism sector across Southeast Asia.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The event&#039;s success was driven by the strong support and tireless coordination of local government units across Cebu, including Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu City, and Mandaue City.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout the weeklong forum, tourism frontliners, volunteers, organizers, and security teams closely worked together to ensure a seamless experience for an estimated 5,000 delegates. Organizers emphasized that the hosting served as a strategic statement of the Philippines&#039; commitment to advancing a cooperative, forward-looking ASEAN tourism agenda.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Key institutional and strategic partners included the Asian Development Bank and the US&amp;ndash;ASEAN Business Council, whose support reinforced the forum&#039;s role as a platform for policy dialogue and regional cooperation. Aviation partners Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific bolstered regional connectivity, while Agoda and CNN International amplified the event&#039;s global reach and visibility.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Key components of ATF 2026 included the Government Meetings, the Travel Exchange, and the ASEAN Tourism Conference &amp;ndash; each serving as a vital platform for industry leaders to drive growth, foster collaboration, and strengthen business relationships across the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A key milestone of the forum was the official launch of the ASEAN Tourism Sectoral Plan (ATSP) 2026&amp;ndash;2030, which sets the strategic direction for the region&#039;s tourism development over the next five years. The Philippines, as Lead Country Coordinator for the implementation of the ATSP 2026&amp;ndash;2030, reaffirmed its central role in steering regional initiatives toward sustainability, innovation, and inclusive growth, while working closely with ASEAN Member States and dialogue partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Hospitality support for ATF 2026 was anchored by a strong network of hotel and resort partners across Cebu, reflecting the depth and diversity of the destination&#039;s accommodation sector. At the center of high-level engagements, Nustar Resort served as the official venue and accommodation for the ASEAN Tourism Ministers, hosting key meetings in a setting that blends modern luxury with world-class facilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A key contribution to the forum&#039;s successful delivery was the coordination with Megaworld Corporation, which enabled the Mactan Expo Center to be utilized as the venue for the Travel Exchange (TRAVEX). The facility provided a modern and versatile setting that enabled the seamless staging of business-to-business engagements and exhibitions &amp;ndash; underscoring Cebu&#039;s growing strength as a competitive Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) destination within the ASEAN region.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Philippine creativity and craftsmanship were likewise prominently showcased through partners such as the Cebu Furniture Industries Foundation, Inc., Destileria Limtuaco &amp;amp; Company, Inc., and Islands Souvenirs, alongside a curated selection of local food and lifestyle brands, highlighting the country&#039;s rich cultural heritage and vibrant creative industries.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Government support for the forum was led by the Lapu-Lapu City Government, Cebu City Government, and the Provincial Government of Cebu, whose coordinated efforts were instrumental in ensuring the smooth and successful delivery of ATF 2026. The Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) likewise extended key support for the ASEAN Tourism Conference, reinforcing the Philippines&#039; commitment to advancing tourism development through strategic partnerships and knowledge exchange.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
By the close of the event, the Philippines had once again demonstrated its capability to stage world-class international gatherings &amp;ndash; firmly positioning Cebu as an emerging hub for global tourism, investment, and trade.&lt;br /&gt;

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
BEIJING, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Huahui&amp;nbsp;Health today announced that it has entered into a global exclusive option, license and collaboration agreement with BeOne&amp;nbsp;Medicines for HH160, a novel trispecific&amp;nbsp;antibody in oncology immunotherapy. Under the agreement, BeOne&amp;nbsp;Medicines is granted an exclusive option covering the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of HH160 worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Pursuant to the agreement, BeOne Medicines will pay Huahui Health an upfront payment of USD 20 million. Upon exercise of the option by BeOne Medicines, Huahui Health will be entitled to receive an additional USD 100 million option exercise payment. Subject to the achievement of development, regulatory and sales milestones,&amp;nbsp;Huahui Health is eligible to receive milestone payments of up to USD 1.9 billion in milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties on net sales. The parties have also agreed to maintain discussions regarding BeOne Medicines&#039; potential participation in Huahui Health&#039;s future financing activities, with specific transaction terms and details to be negotiated separately.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Chen Bin, CEO of Huahui Health, stated, &quot;Huahui Health has established an integrated research and development engine covering the full drug development value chain, enabling the independent identification of novel targets and development of proprietary drug candidates. Our pipeline includes one marketed product and several clinical-stage programs in Phase II, reflecting strong industry recognition of our R&amp;amp;D capabilities. BeOne Medicines is distinguished by its outstanding innovation capacity and global development expertise. We are delighted to deepen our collaboration with BeOne Medicines to advance HH160, a novel trispecific antibody for cancer immunotherapy, and to bring innovative immuno-oncology treatments to patients worldwide as early as possible.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2026, China&#039;s NMPA granted conditional approval to Libevitug injection, Huahui Health&#039;s first commercial product, for chronic hepatitis D infection in adults with or without compensated cirrhosis. As a human monoclonal antibody targeting the PreS1 domain of HBV and HDV envelope protein, it blocks viral entry into hepatocytes. A pioneering first-in-class antibody for viral hepatitis and China&#039;s first approved HDV therapy, Libevitug fills a critical unmet clinical gap. It received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from both NMPA and FDA, with its global Phase III trial now underway.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

About HH160&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
HH160 is a novel trispecific antibody developed by Huahui Health using its proprietary PolyBoost&amp;trade; multispecific antibody platform. HH160 simultaneously targets PD-1, CTLA-4, and VEGF-A, three clinically validated targets in cancer immunotherapy and anti-angiogenesis. Through its &quot;three-in-one&quot; synergistic mechanism of action, HH160 is expected to enhance therapeutic efficacy, achieve tumor-specific drug distribution, and reduce treatment-related adverse effects. Positive preclinical results for HH160 were presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) held in Chicago, United States.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
Recognition Highlights AESC&#039;s Leadership in Sustainable Battery Manufacturing&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
TOKYO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AESC, a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage battery technology, announced that it had received an A- rating for climate change from CDP, the highest score achieved by any global lithium battery manufacturer in the 2025 reporting cycle.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
CDP runs one of the world&#039;s leading environmental disclosure systems for companies. Its assessments are widely referenced by investors, regulators, and customers in evaluating ESG performance and supply chain standards. Of the more than 22,100 companies assessed in CDP&#039;s 2025 Climate Change reporting cycle, just 10% achieved an A- rating or higher. AESC&#039;s A- rating reflects the company&#039;s robust and transparent carbon management framework, as well as its continued progress in battery decarbonization.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
AESC embeds emissions reduction targets into business decision-making and day-to-day global operations. The company has built strong capabilities in carbon footprint management, renewable energy adoption, and industrial decarbonization.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
For carbon footprint management, AESC aligns its global operations with the EU Battery Regulation and other international compliance requirements. The company has established a systematic carbon footprint management framework, developed an enterprise-wide emissions factor database based on internationally recognized methodologies, and worked with upstream suppliers to strengthen carbon data modeling and management.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
In renewable energy and decarbonization, AESC has achieved several industry milestones. In 2022, it became the world&#039;s first battery manufacturer to achieve carbon neutrality across its global operations (Scope 1 and 2), verified by the Carbon Trust, and launched the industry&#039;s first carbon-neutral EV battery in 2022 and carbon-neutral energy storage battery in 2023. Across its global manufacturing network, AESC continues to optimize operations to reduce energy use and lower carbon emissions through a wide range of on-site energy-saving upgrades, including temperature and humidity control upgrades, smart sensor installations on production lines, and leftover heat and water reuse to cut energy waste. At the same time, the company works closely with key suppliers to advance emissions reduction across the value chain.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
AESC optimizes manufacturing operations to reduce energy use and lower carbon emissions&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Through these efforts,&amp;nbsp;AESC has developed a practical and scalable decarbonization pathway for the global lithium battery industry. The CDP A- rating further strengthens AESC&#039;s position as a sustainability leader as it works with customers and partners worldwide to support a more sustainable battery ecosystem.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
About AESC&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
AESC is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of high-performance batteries for electric vehicles (EV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Founded in Japan in 2007 and headquartered in Yokohama, AESC has built a global manufacturing footprint over nearly two decades to serve major markets worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
TOKYO and NEWARK, Del., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ACROBiosystems, a company dedicated to being a cornerstone of the global biopharmaceutical and healthcare industries, announces its collaboration with Carterra, a company focused on innovative technologies designed to accelerate the discovery of novel therapeutic antibodies. Through the synergy of ACROBiosystems&#039; &quot;FLAG&quot; multi-pass transmembrane proteins and Carterra&#039;s LSA platform, large-scale comprehensive characterization of drug candidates can be rapidly performed using high-throughput surface plasmon resonance (HT-SPR).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Transmembrane proteins, especially multi-pass ones, have been considered as highly research‑worthy yet &#039;undruggable&#039; targets. Many practical limitations remain due to the challenges of working with proteins that are not highly stable in the absence of a native cell-membrane environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
To overcome this challenge, ACROBiosystems has established its &quot;FLAG&quot; technology platform. This integrated platform employs multiple innovative approaches to develop a full range of high-quality, full-length targets. These proteins exhibit stabilized structures and high biological activity, and the portfolio includes key targets such as CD20, Claudin18.2/18.1/6/9, GPRC5D, CCR8, STEAP1/2/3/4, GLP-1R, and GIPR. They are designed to facilitate and accelerate mechanistic research and drug discovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The combination of these stable transmembrane proteins with Carterra&#039;s high-throughput platform creates a robust solution for candidate screening. The use of high-quality, full-length transmembrane proteins is critical for the accurate characterization of drug candidates. Following transmembrane protein evaluations to confirm purity, structure and bioactivity, HT-SPR can subsequently be performed with confidence to screen for drug candidates. These techniques highlight that with stable receptor formats, both generalized binding and detailed kinetics can be ascertained. The rapid throughput of the Carterra LSA platform reduces the receptor&#039;s required stability time and mitigates activity losses that can occur in slower, lower-throughput screening assays. While this work was done using intact monoclonal antibodies, the approach could easily be extended to any drug format including nanobodies, scFvs, aptamers, and even arrays of DEL compounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Together, ACROBiosystems&#039; expertise in developing high-quality recombinant proteins and Carterra&#039;s innovative LSA platform enables researchers to access broader and deeper information on thousands of potential drug candidates. And which shall bring a significant acceleration of the research and development process for groundbreaking therapies.&lt;br /&gt;
