IMMUNOSCAPE INKS MOU WITH US CANCER CENTRE, SECURES INVESTMENT
KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 (Bernama) -- ImmunoScape Pte Ltd, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, has announced the execution of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a premier National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in the United States (US).
The partnership will fast-track ImmunoScape’s "Seed and Boost" platform into the clinic, with the company collaborating with the cancer centre to launch an investigator-initiated clinical trial targeting Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1)-positive solid tumours.
The trial will focus on four difficult-to-treat indications, namely ovarian, mesothelioma and other high-unmet-need solid tumours such as pancreatic and colorectal cancers. The study is scheduled to dose its first patients by September 2026.
According to a statement, the programme leverages ImmunoScape’s differentiated "Seed and Boost" strategy to address persistence and exhaustion challenges commonly seen in traditional cell therapies.
The "Seed" consists of autologous T-cells engineered with a high-affinity T-cell receptor (TCR) targeting the intracellular antigen WT1, while the "Boost" is a clinical-stage fusion protein that selectively expands and activates WT1-targeting T-cells in patients, mimicking the natural immune synapse while leaving other T-cells unaffected.
Concurrently, the company also announced a strategic investment from Leonardo DiCaprio, who said he hopes to play a small role in helping accelerate ImmunoScape’s development.
In addition, ImmunoScape scientists have been selected to present their research at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting in April 2026, highlighting growing scientific interest in the "Seed and Boost" mechanism.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 2 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has released its February 2026 Proof of Reserves (PoR), reaffirming full backing of user assets amid continued market volatility and cautious investor sentiment across digital asset markets.
The February snapshot covers BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC, with corresponding reserve data published on Bitget's Proof of Reserves transparency page. As with previous disclosures, the update includes on-chain wallet attestations and a self-verification tool that allows users to confirm their inclusion in the Merkle tree using anonymized identifiers, preserving both transparency and privacy.
As of the February reporting period, Bitget maintains a total reserve ratio of 169%, remaining well above the industry standard 1:1 benchmark. Asset-specific reserve ratios stand at 352% for BTC, 147% for ETH, 100% for USDT, and 104% for USDC, confirming that all user balances across core assets are fully covered by on-chain reserves.
"Periods of uncertainty are when transparency carries the most weight," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "February continued to test market confidence, but our reserves remained consistently over-collateralized. Proof of Reserves is not a reactive disclosure, it's our internal commitment to reflect how Bitget operates through every market cycle."

Mavenir Collaborates with Red Hat to Deliver Carrier-Grade On-Premise Conversational AI and Agentic AI Service Assurance for Telcos
RICHARDSON, Texas, Feb 19 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mavenir, the software company building AI-by-design mobile networks, today announced a collaboration with Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open-source solutions, to deliver Conversational AI and Agentic AI service assurance solutions using Red Hat AI. These carrier-grade generative AI (gen AI) offerings are powered by Red Hat OpenShift AI running on-premise, empowering telecommunications service providers with a highly scalable, security-focused, resilient and cost-optimized foundation for network operations.
This collaboration is focused on transforming the telecommunications industry by providing service providers with AI solutions that leverage their existing platform investments while delivering additional security, resiliency, with low latency that is critical for real-time network operations.
With this effort, Mavenir provides AI solutions tailored to the telecommunications industry that are purpose built to be more cost-effective and more secure than hosted as-a-service AI solutions.
Sachin Karkala, EVP & General Manager, IMS & RAN of Mavenir, stated: "In the race to monetize AI and evolve to autonomous networks, service providers need control of the user experience, cost and data privacy. Our collaboration with Red Hat enables us to develop on-premise AI solutions that do just that. Generative AI models can be fine-tuned using service provider data to build specialized, on-premise agents helping deliver optimal performance."
With conversational AI, the industry is moving up the value chain from merely providing connectivity between entities, to AI agents taking over critical control of acting on the content and intent of the communication.
Agentic service assurance is a significant evolution of today's service assurance solutions relying on machine learning models alone. Agentic systems have a broader perspective, being able to create workflows and drive decision making between different domains in the network and disparate data sources. They adapt and self-learn, ultimately being able to detect and correct issues before they impact the customer.
As a step toward deployment readiness, Mavenir and Red Hat engaged with the Dell Technologies Open Telecom Ecosystem Lab (OTEL) which hosts an advanced AI infrastructure based on the Dell PowerEdge R760xa – a high-performance air-cooled server engineered for a wide range of applications, including AI, machine learning and deep learning-training and inferencing. Dell's OTEL AI experts collaborated with the Mavenir and Red Hat engineering teams to fine tune the large language model and maximize the solution's efficient use of the underlying infrastructure.
By deploying these solutions on-premise with Red Hat OpenShift AI, service providers can optimize the efficiency of their GPU resources, maintain full control of security and governance requirements and more easily manage the complex AI lifecycle.
Honoré LaBourdette, Vice President of the Global Telco Partner Ecosystem at Red Hat, commented: "For enterprise AI to move from proof-of-concept to production, it requires a validated foundation with mandatory components like guardrails, observability and a robust lifecycle. Red Hat OpenShift AI provides that necessary foundation. Together with Mavenir, we are demonstrating cost-effective GPU efficiency through tools like Kueue and Dynamic Accelerator Slicer (DAS) for multi-tenant resource sharing, which helps optimize utilization of high-dollar hardware investments. This, paired with low-latency model serving using vLLM, helps ensure that real-time applications like AI voice translation, achieve the deterministic performance the market demands, proving the tangible value of the on-premise model.

This collaboration is focused on transforming the telecommunications industry by providing service providers with AI solutions that leverage their existing platform investments while delivering additional security, resiliency, with low latency that is critical for real-time network operations.
With this effort, Mavenir provides AI solutions tailored to the telecommunications industry that are purpose built to be more cost-effective and more secure than hosted as-a-service AI solutions.
Sachin Karkala, EVP & General Manager, IMS & RAN of Mavenir, stated: "In the race to monetize AI and evolve to autonomous networks, service providers need control of the user experience, cost and data privacy. Our collaboration with Red Hat enables us to develop on-premise AI solutions that do just that. Generative AI models can be fine-tuned using service provider data to build specialized, on-premise agents helping deliver optimal performance."
With conversational AI, the industry is moving up the value chain from merely providing connectivity between entities, to AI agents taking over critical control of acting on the content and intent of the communication.
Agentic service assurance is a significant evolution of today's service assurance solutions relying on machine learning models alone. Agentic systems have a broader perspective, being able to create workflows and drive decision making between different domains in the network and disparate data sources. They adapt and self-learn, ultimately being able to detect and correct issues before they impact the customer.
As a step toward deployment readiness, Mavenir and Red Hat engaged with the Dell Technologies Open Telecom Ecosystem Lab (OTEL) which hosts an advanced AI infrastructure based on the Dell PowerEdge R760xa – a high-performance air-cooled server engineered for a wide range of applications, including AI, machine learning and deep learning-training and inferencing. Dell's OTEL AI experts collaborated with the Mavenir and Red Hat engineering teams to fine tune the large language model and maximize the solution's efficient use of the underlying infrastructure.
By deploying these solutions on-premise with Red Hat OpenShift AI, service providers can optimize the efficiency of their GPU resources, maintain full control of security and governance requirements and more easily manage the complex AI lifecycle.
Honoré LaBourdette, Vice President of the Global Telco Partner Ecosystem at Red Hat, commented: "For enterprise AI to move from proof-of-concept to production, it requires a validated foundation with mandatory components like guardrails, observability and a robust lifecycle. Red Hat OpenShift AI provides that necessary foundation. Together with Mavenir, we are demonstrating cost-effective GPU efficiency through tools like Kueue and Dynamic Accelerator Slicer (DAS) for multi-tenant resource sharing, which helps optimize utilization of high-dollar hardware investments. This, paired with low-latency model serving using vLLM, helps ensure that real-time applications like AI voice translation, achieve the deterministic performance the market demands, proving the tangible value of the on-premise model. This is our first announcement in a series of joint initiatives with Mavenir to leverage Red Hat AI technology."

FENGDU ORANGES POWER MODERN AGRICULTURE, RURAL PROSPERITY IN CHONGQING
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 12 (Bernama) -- The harvest season is in full swing in Longkong Town of Fengdu County, a major orange-producing hub in west China’s Chongqing Municipality, as freshly picked fruit moves rapidly from orchards to nationwide markets through an increasingly modernised supply chain.
At the Common Prosperity Orange Orchard in Nanzhu Village, crates of oranges are transported directly to Fengdu Orange’s integrated production base, where the fruit is cleaned, polished, dried, graded and packaged before being shipped across the country.
According to a statement, to ensure smooth operations during the peak harvest is Bai Xiaohua, director of a local agricultural development professional cooperative, who coordinates picking schedules between orchards and processing facilities while personally overseeing quality control.
Raised among orange trees, Bai founded the cooperative in 2018 to organise scattered growers and promote standardised, large-scale citrus production through unified management.
To strengthen technical capacity, Bai conducts monthly on-site training sessions for farmers and has actively introduced modern practices. After completing professional agricultural programmes and study visits across China, he obtained a drone operation licence in 2020 and pioneered the use of drones for orchard management, which has since been adopted across the cooperative.
His efforts reflect the broader upgrading of Fengdu’s orange industry. Longkong Town now has 25,000 mu of orange orchards, producing more than 30,000 tonnes annually with an output value of 110 million Chinese yuan. Its citrus received National Geographical Indication trademark certification in 2011. (100 Chinese yuan = RM56.58)
Nanzhu Village was named a national speciality product demonstration village in 2019, while Fengdu oranges have been exported to the Middle East and other markets, establishing a strong regional brand.
Countywide, Fengdu Orange covers 52,500 mu, with an annual output reaching 70,000 tonnes and a total income of 150 million Chinese yuan. Through cooperative organisation, digital tools and brand development, the local orange industry is evolving from a traditional speciality into a modern agricultural value chain driving sustained rural prosperity
