SHENZHEN, CHINA, Mar 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that self-developed innovative drug INHBE-targeting small nucleic acid drug CMS-D008 injection (“CMS-D008”) received the Drug Clinical Trial Approval Notice issued by National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) on 4 March 2026. The NMPA has approved the conduct of clinical trials of CMS-D008 injection for overweight or obese individuals.About CMS-D008CMS-D008 is a novel siRNA therapy administered by subcutaneous injection. CMS-D008 targets and reduces the hepatic expression of the inhibin subunit beta E (INHBE) gene and lowers the level of Activin E protein encoded by INHBE, which blocks Activin E-ALK7 signaling and reduces fat accumulation effectively. Preclinical studies suggested that CMS-D008 efficiently and sustainably suppressed INHBE expression. In the diet-induced obesity model, CMS-D008 enhanced weight loss by reducing fat mass while retaining lean mass with a good safety profile. It demonstrates potentially better prospects for high-quality, long-term weight loss that boosts fat-specific loss while preserving muscle mass. In the future, it may be developed for the treatment of overweight/obesity, abdominal obesity, and related metabolic diseases.Fat Loss, muscle preserved: a potentially better therapeutic option for overweight/obesity Overweight or obesity is a chronic, progressive, relapsing disease characterized by excessive accumulation or abnormal distribution or function of body fat[1]. World Obesity Atlas 2025 Report projected that the global proportion of overweight and obese adults will rise to 50%, with nearly 3 billion adults impacted by high body mass index (BMI), and the population of adults who are overweight or obese in China is projected to reach 515 million by 2030[2]. Existing GLP-1RAs have been proven to be effective for the treatment of overweight and obesity. The main actions of GLP-1RAs are to suppress appetite by acting on the central nervous system and to delay gastric emptying[3]. INHBE’s novel mechanism of action differs from GLP-1RAs. INHBE is identified through genome-wide association studies. Populations with loss of function in INHBE are associated with favorable fat distribution and beneficial metabolic characteristics[4]. Targeted inhibition of INHBE might be more conducive for long-term weight management at the genetic level with precisely lower visceral fat and favorable metabolic profiles.CMS-D008 teams up with CMS-D005: highly effective weight loss plus long-term maintenance, building a more comprehensive weight-loss solutionCMS-D008 will synergize with CMS-D005, a self-developed innovative drug currently in clinical development. CMS-D008 reduces fat without sacrificing muscle mass by precisely inhibiting INHBE gene expression; while CMS-D005, as a GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist, can effectively reduce liver fat while losing weight. The synergy between these two drugs will achieve highly effective weight loss benefits and long-term maintenance of results, jointly enhancing the Group’s R&D capabilities and product competitiveness in the field of obesity/metabolic treatment. Furthermore, leveraging the Group’s mature network resources in the field of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, the drug’s R&D and commercialization process will be accelerated, providing patients with more comprehensive and innovative treatment options.The Group is actively preparing to initiate relevant clinical trials and strives to launch the Product as soon as possible.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products. CMS continues to promote the in-depth development in its advantageous specialty fields, strengthening the competitiveness of the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic/ gastroenterology/ ophthalmology/ skin health businesses, bringing economies of scale in specialty fields. Among them, the skin health business (Dermavon) has become a leading enterprise in its field, and is proposed to be listed independently on the SEHK. Meanwhile, CMS continuously promotes the operation and development of its integrated R&D, manufacturing and commercialization chain in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, capturing growth opportunities in emerging markets to support the high-quality and sustainable development of the Group.Reference:1.

SINGAPORE, Mar 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Core Concepts Physio, one of Singapore's leading physiotherapy providers, has announced an expanded collaborative programme with podiatry service provider, Podiatry Quest, to offer enhanced, multidisciplinary assessments for patients experiencing plantar fasciitis and stubborn heel pain.Plantar fasciitis remains one of the most common and persistent causes of heel pain among adults, especially those with active lifestyles or occupations involving long hours on their feet. Often treatment seeks to address only one aspect of the condition rather than the full movement chain, which leads to recurring pain as other aspects remain unresolved.To bridge this gap, the two clinics have formalised a joint assessment pathway that evaluates plantar fasciitis from both the top-down (physiotherapy) and the bottom-up (podiatry) so as to ensure that no contributing factor is overlooked.A Smarter, More Complete Way to Diagnose Heel PainPhysiotherapy and podiatry traditionally manage different elements of plantar fasciitis. Physiotherapists focus on mobility, strength, gait and load tolerance, while podiatrists address foot posture, footwear, ground forces and orthotic support.The new integrated pathway combines both perspectives into a single, coordinated evaluation which results in:More accurate, holistic diagnosesFully optimised treatment strategiesFewer flare-ups and recurrencesClearer, consistent guidance for patientsFaster and more sustainable outcomes"Many patients struggle because plantar fasciitis isn't caused by just one issue," said Mr Chng Chye Tuan, Senior Principal Physiotherapist at Core Concepts Physiotherapy. "It's a movement chain problem involving the foot, calf, ankle mobility, daily load and footwear. When physiotherapists and podiatrists work together, we address every contributing factor — not just the symptoms."A Case Study Demonstrating Collaborative SuccessIn a recent case, a 42-year-old recreational runner sought help after six months of persistent heel pain. Physiotherapy improved his morning pain and running tolerance, but he continued to experience flare-ups following long work shifts.A podiatry assessment revealed prolonged pronation, footwear-related loading issues and inadequate shock absorption. With customised orthoses and tailored footwear recommendations, the patient's daily load decreased significantly — allowing physiotherapy progress to continue without setbacks.Within 10 weeks of coordinated care, he achieved pain-free mornings, comfortable workdays and full return to running."This case reflects what we see frequently," said Mr Yeo Boon Kiak, Principal Podiatrist at Podiatry Quest. "Physiotherapy builds tissue capacity, strength and movement control. Podiatry reduces unnecessary strain and optimises how forces enter the foot. When combined, this creates the ideal environment for long-lasting recovery."Making Multidisciplinary Care Accessible NationwideThrough this collaboration, patients with plantar fasciitis now benefit from:Joint physiotherapy–podiatry assessmentsAligned clinical decision-makingConsistent communication across providersA thorough evaluation of both the cause and consequence of heel painA fully optimised recovery pathway"Our multidisciplinary team brings together the best of both professions," said Mr Chng Chye Tuan. "Whether someone is a runner, a frequent traveller or stands long hours at work, this collaboration ensures their care is comprehensive, precise and built around their real-life demands."About Core Concepts PhysiotherapyCore Concepts Physio is one of Singapore's largest private physiotherapy groups, offering evidence-based musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy across multiple clinic locations. Their multidisciplinary approach allows clients to benefit from integrated care, ensuring complete and effective recovery.

东京, 2026年3月5日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 专注于工业用贵金属展开业务的TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.（总公司：东京都中央区、执行总裁：田中 浩一朗）宣布在烧结金(Au)接合技术“AuRoFUSE™ Preforms”中，确立了金凸块※1的转印技术。通过本技术，在具有复杂结构的半导体芯片及衬底※2上也能形成AuRoFUSE™Preforms（以下简称“金凸块”）。制成的金凸块转印基板转印后的金凸块通过实现金凸块转印所带来的优势本技术是通过制作预先形成金凸块的基板（以下简称“转印基板”），实现向对象半导体芯片及衬底进行凸块转印的方法。在用作转印基板的硅基板上开孔，并于其开孔部位形成金凸块。通过形成金凸块使其完全填满开孔部位，可将其固定在基板上，而无需担心在处理过程中金凸块会脱落。另一方面，转印时通过加热使金凸块收缩，从而在开孔部位与金凸块间形成微小间隙。因此，只需施加垂直方向的力，即可轻松拔出。以往的金凸块形成制程是采用直接在对象半导体芯片及衬底上形成凸块的方法，对于具有凹凸结构、贯通孔等复杂形状的工件，由于存在光刻胶的高度不稳定等课题，导致难以应对。本次转印技术通过另行制作金凸块，可实现仅在目标位置转印金凸块，因此也能适用于复杂形状。此外，该技术还能应对由于担心剥离液等造成的损伤而难以通过光刻※3制程的半导体芯片及衬底。转印基板的制作及转印/接合制程(1) 作为转印基板，准备硅基板(2) 在硅基板上涂布光刻胶(3) 曝光显影为目标图案(4) 在硅基板上通过蚀刻进行开孔(5) 使用刮板等工具嵌入AuRoFUSE™(6) 在常温下真空干燥AuRoFUSE™，并刮取光刻胶上多余的金浆料(7) 剥离光刻胶后即可形成转印基板(8) 将想要形成金凸块的对象（半导体芯片及衬底）对准转印基板，进行10MPa、150℃、1分钟的热压。随后垂直抬升基板，即可完成金凸块的转印(9) 将转印后的基板经过20MPa、200℃、10秒的热压后进行接合以往的金凸块形成制程关于烧结金接合技术“AuRoFUSE™ Preforms”　TANAKA开发的“AuRoFUSE™ Preforms”是通过将由金微粒子与有机溶剂构成的浆料，预先形成凸块形状的接合技术。在200℃、20MPa、10秒的热压后，虽然在压缩方向上显示出约10％的收缩率，但在水平方向上较少变形，并具有足以承受实际应用的接合强度※4。而且，由于以化学稳定性较优异的金为主要成分，封装后兼具较高的可靠性。本技术是一种能够实现半导体配线微细化和多种芯片集成（较高密度化）的技术，预计不仅能应用于LED（发光二极管）和LD（半导体激光器）等光学器件，还能广泛应用于个人电脑和智能手机等数字设备，以及为满足车载零部件、MEMS等近年来日益增长的半导体小型化与较高性能化需求做出贡献。关于凸块形成技术，以往有焊料凸块和镀层凸块两种主要方法。但是，焊料凸块随着焊点间距不断变得微细，焊料在熔化时会横向扩展，因此存在电极之间接触引起短路的风险。此外，镀层凸块虽然可实现窄间距，但由于接合时需要相对较高的压力，因此存在造成半导体芯片损坏的问题。本技术正是为解决这些课题而开发的，旨在应用于下一代高密度封装和光电融合器件。关于“AuRoFUSE™”及TANAKA所从事的金材料　“AuRoFUSE™”是在粒径控制至次微米大小的金粒子中混合了有机溶剂的浆料接合材料。与金的熔点（约1064℃）相比，其特点是能在约200℃的低温下进行接合。金是一种具有较低电阻和较高热传导率的材料，因此在处理较大电流的功率半导体和较大发热量的更高密度芯片中，能够实现高效散热并减少能量损耗。此外，作为贵金属中抗氧化性、稳定性特别强的材料，在封装后不易发生腐蚀或离子迁移（金属迁移导致短路的现象），长期使用仍能保持较高的可靠性。TANAKA凭借自创业以来，凭借所积累的贵金属素材开发技术优势，在半导体领域不断致力于以发挥重要作用的金为代表的贵金属材料开发。此外，还拥有从原料的采购到材料开发、制造、回收的一站式业务体系，有效利用有限的贵金属资源，同时为发展半导体技术和实现可持续社会做出贡献。（※1） 凸块：突起的电极（※2） 衬底：用于搭载半导体芯片并提供电气与机械支撑的基板（※3） 光刻：在基板上形成微细电路图案的技术（※4） 接合强度：指抗剪强度(横向载荷测试中的强度)关于TANAKATANAKA自1885 年（明治18年）创业以来，营业范围以贵金属为中心，并以此开展广泛业务活动。公司在日本国内拥有非常可观的贵金属交易量, 长年以来不遗余力地进行工业用贵金属制品的制造和销售，以及提供作为宝石饰品及资产的贵金属商品。并且，作为贵金属相关的专家集团，日本国内外的各集团公司进行制造、销售以及技术一体化，携手合作提供产品及服务。2024年度（截至2024年12月)集团总营业额为8,469亿日元，拥有5,591名员工。产业事业全球网站https://www.tanaka.com.cn产品咨询表TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-on-industrial-products/新闻媒体咨询处TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd.https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-for-media/新闻稿: http://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20260305_CH.pdf  Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Mar 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) -�FinHarbor, a modular financial infrastructure provider, has completed the core phase of a hybrid neobank platform for Asterium � a licensed fintech project in Uzbekistan that combines traditional banking with digital asset services under a single regulated framework.Why Uzbekistan - Uzbekistan is actively building a regulated environment for digital assets. The country has introduced a national distributed ledger system (Mirasmanda) and a state-backed digital asset (HUMO), supervised by the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP). For infrastructure providers, this creates a rare opportunity: a market where crypto and banking can coexist within a clear legal perimeter.Asterium's project is designed to operate fully within this framework.What Was Deployed - FinHarbor adapted its microservices-based platform to the requirements of the Uzbek market and Asterium's business model. The core deployment covers three key layers:Banking infrastructure � management of fiat accounts, issuance of physical and virtual bank cards (VISA, MasterCard, HUMO), and integration with local processing systems.Digital asset infrastructure � crypto account management, integration with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron networks, as well as native connection to Uzbekistan's Mirasmanda ledger for HUMO asset support.Compliance and exchange � a unified KYC/KYB/AML/KYT module aligned with local and international standards, integration with global AML/KYT providers, and multiple exchange models including fiat-to-crypto, crypto-to-fiat, and crypto-to-crypto conversions with card-based ramp-in and ramp-off.The result is a single platform where users can hold bank accounts and crypto wallets, exchange assets, and use cards � all within a regulated environment.How the Partnership Works - FinHarbor operates as Asterium's strategic technology partner, not just a software vendor.

BANGKOK, Mar 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Thailand has launched a new phase in its national research and innovation strategy with the introduction of the Thailand RISE Fund, a rebranded national research funding initiative aimed at accelerating the transition from academic research to real-world economic and social impact.The initiative was highlighted at the Thailand RISE Fund Forum: RISE UP THAILAND, hosted in collaboration with Chulalongkorn University. The national forum brought together policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, and innovation stakeholders to explore how Thailand can strengthen its position in the global innovation economy.From Research Output to Real-World ImpactThailand’s research performance has expanded significantly over the past decade, but national leaders say the country’s next challenge is ensuring that research delivers tangible benefits.Professor Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, emphasized the importance of translating knowledge into national progress. “A country advances not simply because it produces knowledge, but because it can transform knowledge into a coordinated system that connects policy, research, innovation, and industry,” he said.He added that universities must play a strategic role in national development. “Our goal is to move research beyond the laboratory and into real-world applications that deliver measurable economic and social benefits while strengthening Thailand’s long-term competitiveness.”Building a National Innovation SystemNational research leaders stressed that Thailand’s science and innovation system must operate with clearer direction and stronger coordination.Professor Dr. Sompong Klaynongsruang, President of Thailand Science Research and Innovation (TSRI), said collaboration across sectors is essential. “The development of Thailand’s science, research and innovation system must be driven systematically—from strategic policy and targeted funding to the practical use of research outcomes in the economy and society.”She noted that cooperation among universities, government agencies, and the private sector will be key to achieving long-term impact. “When all sectors move forward together, research will not only generate knowledge but also create meaningful national transformation.”More Than a RebrandingThe transition to the Thailand RISE Fund represents a strategic shift in how Thailand supports research and innovation.Asst. Professor Dr. Ake Pattaratanakun, Chairman of Thailand RISE Fund Strategic Communications Subcommittee, said the initiative reflects a new national priority. “Thailand has significantly increased its research output over the past decade, but the key challenge today is not quantity. It is how research creates economic and social value.”He explained that the Thailand RISE Fund is designed to bridge the gap between research and industry. “Thailand RISE Fund is intended to serve as a systemic intermediary, linking research to real economic needs and focusing on proof of impact rather than publication numbers.”Four Pillars of the RISE FrameworkThe Thailand RISE Fund operates under a strategic framework built on four pillars:ResearchInnovationScience ExcellenceEcosystemThe ecosystem pillar emphasizes partnerships among universities, businesses, government agencies, and communities to support a comprehensive innovation economy.Expanding Opportunities NationwideThe Thailand RISE Fund is also expanding engagement across Thailand to ensure broader participation in the innovation system. Regional forums and outreach activities are designed to help researchers and entrepreneurs develop collaborative projects aligned with local economic strengths. This approach reflects a shift from centralized funding toward a more inclusive and distributed innovation ecosystem.Research for National DevelopmentThe Thailand RISE Fund aims to transform the role of research in Thailand’s development strategy. “Our vision is to move Thai research from ‘research for journals’ to ‘research for the nation,’” Dr. Ake said.By focusing on measurable impact and long-term value creation, the initiative seeks to strengthen Thailand’s competitiveness while supporting sustainable economic and social development.For more information, please contact pr@tsri.or.th#ThailandRiseFund Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

TOKYO, Mar 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - JCB Co., Ltd. (JCB), together with Resona Holdings, Inc. (Resona; TSE: 8308), announced the start of a project to commercialize ultra-wideband (UWB) payments that realize a new purchasing experience using UWB communication.The two companies have agreed to launch the world's first full-scale project for the practical application and commercialization of UWB payments. In 2026, JCB will work with multiple technology partners and collaborating merchants to demonstrate payment technology and value-added solutions for merchants, as well as user experience building projects to create new purchasing experiences. On top of that, JCB aims to launch small-scale commercial operations in 2027 and full-scale commercialization in earnest in 2028.The two companies are participating in the FiRa® Consortium, which standardizes and contributes to the development of UWB communication technology, as well as builds new payment experiences and value-added solutions for stores using UWB technology.About the UWB Payment ProjectThrough the activities of the FiRa Consortium, JCB, and Resona will standardize technologies and experiences for payment applications, and with the support of FiRa Consortium’s participating vendors, conduct technology tests. From 2026, the two companies will demonstrate UWB payments and value-added solutions together with multiple partner merchants and provide feedback to FiRa on the necessary technology development.In parallel, JCB and Resona will conduct research on user experience and store payment operations to confirm user and merchant acceptability.Moreover, to reduce the introduction load for merchants as much as possible, the project aims to build a payment infrastructure that can widely accept payment solutions using UWB from competitors. The project is aimed to launch on a small scale in 2027 and commercialize on a full-scale in 2028.In addition, the two companies will aim to realize new UWB payments through collaboration with a wide range of partners in Japan and other countries.Image of UWB paymentThe Background of This ProjectUWB communication technology is a short-range wireless communication technology that has the characteristics of (1) accurate location of devices and (2) high-speed data communication and is being used in Japan and overseas for location verification of digital keys for cars and homes, indoor navigation, and tags.The technology is also used overseas in gateless public transportation systems. In the future, it is expected to be used for payments, as with NFC (Near Field Communication) and QR codes.Outside Japan, the spread of smartphones with UWB functions has been slow, but in Japan, smartphones that can use UWB communication are widely available, and can be utilized in advance of the rest of the world. Moreover, the diversification of cashless payments and the wide range of value-added solutions for users and stores are also characteristics of Japan's payment scene. The project believes that it is necessary to take advantage of this location and create new payment solutions to solve problems for users and stores and meet the needs of new solutions.Overview of “UWB Payments”UWB payments can greatly improve the purchasing experience. Until now, it has been necessary to physically touch a card or smartphone at a payment terminal in a merchant or to scan a QR code. UWB payments will leverage short-range communication characteristics to create a new purchasing experience, such as hands-free payments even with a smartphone in a pocket or bag, and to instantly convey user information, such as diet restrictions, to merchants.Also, by utilizing the accurate location information of smartphones, it is possible to realize value-added solutions for both users and merchants that have never been seen before, such as improving the efficiency of navigation and waiting in stores, distributing personalized advertisements and coupons using smart displays, and providing new customer service for VIP customers. It is expected to be used not only to improve the experience but also to be used as a labor-saving solution to address labor shortages.Comparison of NFC and UWB paymentsExamples of value-added solutions:Provide communication functions for both users and merchants. For example, it can be used to automate the communication of requests such as food allergy information, whether or not plastic bags are needed, whether receipts are present and addressed, loyalty program information, whether coupons are available and used, and requests such as handicap and assistance needs, and children's chair preparations.Provide special customer service experiences for VIP customers and support store operations.

Using UWB communication technology by linking the smartphones held by customers who visit the store with payment terminals and various IoT devices installed in the store, it allows customers to complete the payment process from authentication to payment procedure without taking out a smartphone or activating the screen, and even keeping their smartphone in their bag or pocket. By utilizing this solution, customers can grasp information at the time of their visit to the store and receive customer service and new in-store experiences, such as providing services for VIPs, preferential treatment, and coupon distribution.JCB also announced the development of a UWB-enabled app for iPhones and Apple Watches to support the project, along with a reference model of store checkout equipment and the launch of user testing. Through these efforts, JCB and Resona have been discussing and collaborating with their collaborative partners on technologies and business models.Looking ahead, JCB and Resona will work with multiple technology partners and collaborating merchants to carry out proof-of-concept initiatives for payment and merchant value-added solutions in 2026, with a phased commercial rollout planned for 2027 and full-scale commercialization targeted for 2028.About FiRa ConsortiumThe FiRa Consortium is a member-driven organization dedicated to transforming the way we interact with our environment by enabling precise location awareness for people and devices using the secured fine-ranging and positioning capabilities of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology.
