The GLP-1 Era Has a New Biotech Contender: How AKK PROBIO Just Unlocked the US Supplement Market

(SeaPRwire) - Akkermansia has long been the holy grail of next-generation probiotics, but translating its academic promise into a commercially viable, regulatory-compliant ingredient has been a massive bottleneck. Most players struggle with the strict anaerobic requirements of the strain or get bogged down in regulatory limbo. By securing both GRAS and NDI for a human-derived strain, Thankcome isn't just launching a product; they are establishing the commercial playbook for next-gen anaerobes. The real disruptor here is the clinical validation of the gut-brain axis, which elevates this from a simple metabolic ingredient to a cornerstone of holistic wellness. Let's look at the hard facts behind this development. Thankcome Biotech, a subsidiary of Perfect Group, has officially cleared the FDA's New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) notification process for its proprietary strain, AKK PROBIO (CGMCC No.20955). This marks a major milestone as the first Akkermansia muciniphila strain of human gut origin to successfully navigate this regulatory pathway. This NDI clearance completes a highly strategic regulatory puzzle. Back in 2024, the company secured dual self-affirmed GRAS status, which allowed the strain to be used in conventional foods and beverages in both its live probiotic and pasteurized postbiotic forms. Now, with the NDI notification active, brand owners have a green light to formulate AKK PROBIO into dietary supplements across the US market. The science backing this strain is remarkably robust. Originally isolated from the gut microbiota of an elite Chinese swimming champion, the strain is supported by 18 patents, 13 peer-reviewed publications, and 7 clinical studies. One of their standout trials—a large-scale, eight-week randomized controlled study—demonstrated significant improvements in body weight, BMI, liver function, and even emotional well-being, highlighting its profound impact on the gut-brain axis. To solve the notorious stability issues of anaerobic bacteria, Thankcome developed a proprietary shell coating technology that protects the live probiotic form from oxygen. Meanwhile, their pasteurized postbiotic version uses controlled heat treatment to preserve critical membrane proteins like Amuc_1100 and secreted proteins like P9. With US distribution handled by Maypro, the stage is set for rapid commercial adoption. This regulatory breakthrough signals a broader paradigm shift in the microbiome sector. For decades, the probiotic market has relied on the same handful of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains. While these legacy strains are reliable, they represent yesterday's science. The industry is moving toward highly specialized, next-generation taxa that naturally inhabit the human gut and drive systemic health outcomes. The timing of this launch is incredibly strategic. We are living in the middle of a massive cultural shift driven by GLP-1 receptor agonists. Consumers are actively searching for natural alternatives and companion therapies that support metabolic health, satiety, and gut barrier integrity. Because Akkermansia is known to naturally stimulate endogenous GLP-1 secretion, it is positioned perfectly to capture this surging demand. The real challenge for next-gen probiotics has never been the science; it has been the bioprocessing and the regulatory compliance. Culturing strict anaerobes at an industrial scale without exposing them to lethal amounts of oxygen is incredibly difficult. Thankcome's dual-form strategy and oxygen-resistant coating technology effectively solve the manufacturing bottleneck, while their dual GRAS and NDI status removes the regulatory risk for global brands. We are about to see a wave of innovative formulations hitting the sports nutrition, metabolic health, and cognitive wellness categories. As the regulatory dust settles, the brands that move quickly to integrate these clinically backed, next-gen strains will likely dominate the next decade of the wellness market.

The Taklimakan’s Verdict: How GWM’s Hi4-T Platform Redefines “Durability” in the EV Off-Road Era Business

The Taklimakan’s Verdict: How GWM’s Hi4-T Platform Redefines “Durability” in the EV Off-Road Era

(SeaPRwire) - I was catching up with Marcus Thorne, a veteran powertrain engineer who's spent decades in the dunes from Dakar to Baja, about the recent Taklimakan Rally. When I mentioned GWM's performance, he cut straight to the point. "Everyone's talking about peak horsepower and 0-100 times for electric off-roaders," he said. "But the Taklimakan isn't a sprint; it's a six-day thermal and mechanical torture test. What GWM just demonstrated with the Hi4-T platform isn't just a win. It's a live, brutal proof-of-concept for hybrid off-road reliability that the industry has been theorizing about. They're not just racing competitors; they're stress-testing a product philosophy under the harshest conditions imaginable. That's a different level of confidence." He's right. The rally's SS5 and SS6 stages are where legends are filtered from the hopeful. Over 479 combined kilometers of the Andir River basin and shifting mega-dunes, terrain that historically cripples over 80% of entrants, the GWM TANK 700 Hi4-Ts didn't just survive—they dominated. The #251 car of Nicolas Cavigliasso and Valentina Pertegarini took SS6 in 3h26m47s, edging out their teammates in #252 by a minute and forty-one seconds. That tight intra-team battle highlights the precision, but the real story is the chasm between these platforms and the rest of the field that struggled. The desert doesn't care about brochure specs. It cares about systems working in brutal harmony. With cockpit temps soaring past 50°C, the Hi4-T's integrated thermal management kept the 3.0T V6 hybrid's coolant in check. Its torque delivery never faltered through soft sand and riverbeds, thanks to the seamless interplay between the electric boost and the 9HAT transmission. The intelligent 4WD system made millisecond torque vectoring decisions, leaving the drivers to focus on the line. This orchestrated performance translated into a commanding lead in the overall T2.E category for Cavigliasso, built on relentless consistency across six stages. The platform performed, as the release starkly put it, without drama, retirement, or apology. This event is a microcosm of a massive shift. The off-road world is electrifying, but pure electric faces real-world hurdles in extreme endurance and remote accessibility. What GWM is proving with Hi4-T is a compelling third path: a hybrid platform where the ICE component acts as a relentless, thermally-managed range and torque foundation, amplified by electric response. The Taklimakan victory is a powerful marketing tool, sure, but it's deeper than that. It's a data point that validates hybrid architecture not as a transition technology, but as a potentially optimal solution for serious, sustained off-road use. It pressures pure-ICE players on efficiency and responsiveness, while challenging pure-EV entrants to solve for thermal management and sustained output under duress. The race is no longer just about who's fastest from dune crest to trough. It's about whose technology platform can endure a week in hell and drive home quietly afterward. That's the new benchmark, and the desert just wrote the first report card. This article is provided by a third-party content provider.

Safe Harbor Statement Some statements in this announcement are forward-looking statements as defined under the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other U.S. federal securities laws. All statements in this announcement that are not historical facts qualify as forward-looking statements. These include, but are not limited to, explicit or implicit statements about the Company’s future expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, or strategies. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts nor guarantees of future performance; instead, they are based solely on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions about its future business, plans, strategies, projections, expected events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Since forward-looking statements pertain to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are hard to predict, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. You can recognize forward-looking statements by their non-historical nature, especially those using terms like “may,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projected,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “hopes” — or their negatives or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that, while deemed reasonable, are inherently uncertain. New risks and uncertainties may arise over time, and it is impossible to predict all of them. The Company’s actual results may vary significantly from those suggested in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Key factors that could lead to material differences between actual results and those indicated in the forward-looking statements include the risks and uncertainties outlined in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 28, 2026, as well as the Company’s other filings with the Commission. Unless required by law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement (whether written or oral) made from time to time, whether due to new information, future developments, or any other reason.

CGTN: 70 Years of China‑Africa Relations – From Shared Struggles to a Shared Dream of Modernization

(SeaPRwire) - BEIJING, May 31, 2026 -- This year marks the 70th anniversary of China-Africa relations. CGTN has published an article emphasizing Africa's priority role in China's overall foreign policy, while detailing how the China-Africa partnership has been established and strengthened over decades. The article also examines how deeper cooperation in recent years has helped amplify the voice and representation of the Global South, and contributed to fostering a more balanced and democratic international order. As Chinese President Xi Jinping and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi exchanged congratulatory messages on Saturday to commemorate the 70th anniversary of China-Egypt ties, the occasion also highlighted a broader milestone: seven decades of China-Africa relations. Xi noted that over the past 70 years, China-Egypt relations have become a model of amity, solidarity, and cooperation among developing countries, as well as a benchmark for collaboration between China and Arab states and between China and Africa. Today, China-Africa relations have evolved from a friendship forged in shared struggles into a dynamic partnership dedicated to development, modernization, and the rise of the Global South. From solidarity to strategic partnership The foundations of China-Africa friendship were laid during a period of profound political transformation. From the 1950s to the 1970s, China firmly supported African countries in their struggles for national independence and liberation. African nations, in turn, played a decisive role in restoring the lawful seat of the People's Republic of China at the United Nations in 1971. Of the 76 votes cast in favor of the resolution, 26 came from African countries – laying a strong foundation for China-Africa mutual trust. Earlier this year, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Africa, continuing a 36-year tradition of making the continent the destination of China's foreign minister's first overseas trip each year, underscoring the importance of China-Africa relations. Over the past two decades, China-Africa cooperation has expanded rapidly. The establishment of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in 2000 provided an institutional framework for cooperation, while China's Africa policy of sincerity, real results, amity, and good faith further guided bilateral relations. In 2015, the two sides elevated their ties to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and launched the "Ten Cooperation Plans," setting a strong foundation for rapid modernization across the African continent. At the 2024 FOCAC summit, China and Africa further upgraded their relationship to an all-weather community with a shared future for the new era. China also expanded duty-free access from 33 African countries to all 53 African countries with diplomatic ties by 2025, becoming the first major economy to grant unilateral zero-tariff treatment across all product categories to every African country with which it has diplomatic relations. Humphrey Moshi, a prominent Tanzanian economist, described China-Africa cooperation as a significant example of Global South solidarity. He said such solidarity helps transform developing countries from "passive participants" into "active shapers" of international rules. Advancing modernization through practical cooperation While political trust forms the foundation of China-Africa relations, economic cooperation has become both the stabilizer and growth engine of the partnership. According to data released by China's General Administration of Customs, China-Africa trade reached a record $348 billion in 2025, up 17.7% from the previous year, with China remaining Africa's largest trading partner for the 17th consecutive year. The momentum has continued into 2026. In the first quarter alone, China's trade with the African countries totaled 646.56 billion yuan ($92.2 billion), a year-on-year increase of 23.7%. At the same time, the Belt and Road Initiative has reshaped connectivity across the continent by upgrading the railway system with projects such as the Tazara Railway and the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway, which are flagship projects that set examples for high-quality Belt and Road cooperation between China and Africa. According to China's Foreign Ministry, China has signed debt-relief agreements or reached debt-relief understandings with 19 African countries as of 2023, making it the largest contributor to debt-service suspension efforts under the G20 framework. Meanwhile, China has trained tens of thousands of African professionals through scholarships, vocational training, and educational exchange programs. As of June 2025, China has established 17 Luban Workshops across 15 African countries, while the China-Africa university cooperation plan, a higher education initiative pairing Chinese universities with African institutions, has connected 114 higher education institutions. Paul Frimpong, executive director and senior research fellow of the Africa-China Centre for Policy & Advisory, said China's contribution to Africa's development is increasingly visible. "China's sharing of knowledge, skills, and experience in sectors such as manufacturing and green energy is having a profound impact on Africa's journey toward modernization and self-reliance," he added. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-05-30/China-Africa-ties-at-70-Path-to-a-shared-dream-of-modernization-1NzbT7rDWhy/p.html CONTACT: CGTN Digital cgtn@cgtn.com This article is provided by a third-party content provider.

ITM Reports Phase 3 COMPETE Patient-Reported Quality of Life Data for n.c.a. ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide (ITM-11) Compared to Everolimus at ASCO 2026 Business

ITM Reports Phase 3 COMPETE Patient-Reported Quality of Life Data for n.c.a. ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide (ITM-11) Compared to Everolimus at ASCO 2026

An exploratory analysis revealed positive patient-reported quality of life results and a delayed onset of deterioration for individuals treated with ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide.These findings complement the previously disclosed COMPETE efficacy data, offering patient-centric evidence for ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide in GEP-NETs.(SeaPRwire) - Chicago, Illinois, May 30, 2026 — ITM Isotope Technologies Munich SE (ITM), a prominent radiopharmaceutical biotechnology firm, today announced encouraging Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) outcomes from its Phase 3 COMPETE clinical trial involving patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). The data indicated favorable and sustained quality of life for patients receiving non-carrier-added (n.c.a.) ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide (also known as ITM-11 or ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide) when compared to everolimus, a conventional systemic treatment. The information was presented by Dr. Jaume Capdevila, a study investigator and senior medical oncologist at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, during a poster session at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, which took place from May 29 - June 2, 2026, in Chicago, Illinois.“For individuals living with GEP-NETs, therapeutic choices extend beyond merely preventing disease progression; they also involve maintaining daily function and overall quality of life,” stated Dr. Jaume Capdevila, study investigator and senior medical oncologist at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain. “The COMPETE trial results suggest more positive patient-reported outcomes with ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide compared to everolimus, including a longer median period before quality of life declined. These findings, alongside the previously reported efficacy data, contribute significant patient-focused evidence to guide treatment discussions.”The quality of life assessments involved 309 patients (207 in the ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide group; 102 in the everolimus group). Over 85% of participants completed the two validated EORTC QLQ questionnaires1 throughout the study: the 30-item QLQ-C30 and the 21-item QLQ-GI.NET21. Both questionnaires utilize standardized 0-100 scales to evaluate general health, physical and social capabilities, and the burden of GEP-NET symptoms. Patients filled out these questionnaires at the study's start, monthly during the first year, and then every three months thereafter.Key Quality of Life Findings: On average, patients in the ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide cohort maintained their quality of life (score change: +0.9), whereas those in the everolimus cohort experienced a notable decrease in quality of life (score change: -9.9).Patients receiving ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide experienced a longer duration before their quality of life started to worsen: a median of 10.3 months versus 2.3 months for everolimus.A significant overall improvement in quality of life was reported by 43.5% of patients on ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide, compared to 30.4% of those on everolimus.Among patients who showed improvement, the median duration of this improvement was 22.0 months versus 10.2 months, respectively.“These additional COMPETE outcomes offer crucial insights into the quality of life experienced during treatment with ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide, further enriching the clinical data gathered to date,” commented Dr. Celine Wilke, chief medical officer of ITM. “For ITM, prioritizing the balance of treatment benefits, risks, and individual preferences to enhance overall patient health remains paramount, alongside achieving meaningful clinical results through targeted radiopharmaceuticals.” ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide is an experimental product currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has not received approval from any regulatory body for the safety and/or effectiveness of any intended application.About the COMPETE TrialThe COMPETE trial (NCT03049189) assessed ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide (ITM-11), a proprietary, synthetic, targeted radiotherapeutic investigational agent, against everolimus, a targeted molecular therapy, in patients with inoperable, progressive Grade 1 or Grade 2 gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). This trial successfully met its primary objective, with ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide demonstrating a clinically and statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared to everolimus. ¹⁷⁷Lu-edotreotide is also being evaluated in COMPOSE, a Phase 3 study for patients with well-differentiated, aggressive Grade 2 or Grade 3, somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-positive GEP-NETs.About ITM Isotope Technologies Munich SEITM, a leading radiopharmaceutical biotech company, is committed to delivering a new generation of radiopharmaceutical therapies and diagnostics for challenging-to-treat tumors. We aim to address the needs of cancer patients, healthcare professionals, and our partners through excellence in the development, production, and global distribution of medical radioisotopes.
