BAODING, China, June 3, 2021 /CNW/ — Last month, GWM finished the first 70MPa type III bottle test for its hydrogen technology. Which marked another technical breakthrough the company made in hydrogen power industry after the hydrogen energy strategy released in March, and many innovative application results of hydrogen energy technologies and products brought by GWM’s subsidiary FTXT to the 2021 Auto Shanghai in April.At present, the global economy and energy industry are ushering in the “decarbonization era”, and saving energy and protecting the environment has become a global trend. In this context, hydrogen energy is regarded as the clean energy with the most development potential in the 21st century. Following this trend, GWM is striving to break core technology barriers, link the upstream and downstream industry chains and accelerate the commercial promotion of hydrogen energy by building an international supply chain ecology integrating hydrogen “production-storage-transportation-refueling-application”. In addition, the company has also launched a world-class full-scene solution of “hydrogen power systems” meeting vehicle regulations—the Hydrogen- L.E.M.O.N. Technology, which is the technical core of GWM’s hydrogen energy strategy and one of GWM’s fundamental technology lines for the L.E.M.O.N. platform. The solution covers hydrogen fuel cell systems, fuel cells and electric piles, vehicle-mounted hydrogen storage systems, and key components. According to GWM’s current plan, the world’s first SUV with Class C hydrogen fuel cell created based on the Hydrogen- L.E.M.O.N. Technology will be launched this year, and it will support an endurance mileage of up to 840km.As the first Chinese auto enterprise in the Hydrogen Council, GWM started to set up a world-class R&D team for hydrogen energy, fuel cell systems and vehicle technologies early in 2016 and this team consists of industry elites from Germany, the UK, Korea, Japan, the USA and China. At the same time, GWM has formed an R&D landscape spanning 7 countries and 10 regions in Europe, North America and Asia, laying a solid foundation for the innovation of its hydrogen energy industry. For the purpose of meeting the demand for whole industrial chain R&D, GWM has invested a total of RMB 2 billion and in the next 3 years, will plunge another RMB 3 billion into the hydrogen energy R&D sector, to reach the production capacity of 10,000 sets and become a leading enterprise in this sector.In strict accordance with the requirements of low carbon and environmental protection, and guided by the concept of “over-investment” in R&D, GWM continuously strengthens the development of hydrogen energy technology, new energy power battery technology and other future clean technologies, actively fulfills its social and environmental responsibilities, and serves users worldwide based on the concept of “green + intelligent” travel.

LONG BEACH, Calif., June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Anivive’s initiative to develop a vaccine against canine Valley Fever is gaining attention as the threat of systemic fungal diseases escalates globally. The company’s work with Dr. John Galgiani and his research team at the Valley Fever Center for Excellence at the University of Arizona College of Medicine is featured in a June 1, 2021 story in Scientific American.The team is using breakthrough gene deletion technology to remove CPS1, a gene key to the fungi’s ability to reproduce, to create a modified fungal organism for the vaccine. Clinical studies are proving that the modified organism, while unable to spread, provokes a strong immune reaction in mice and dogs. “I think this is proof of concept for a fungal vaccine—having it in use in dogs, seeing it is safe,” says Dr. Lisa Shubitz, associate director of Valley Fever initiatives on Galgiani’s research team. “I really believe this is the path to a human vaccine.”There has never been a vaccine for a systemic fungal infection, for people or pets. The team believes that this Valley Fever fungal vaccine will pave the way for vaccines against other fungal diseases such as histoplasmosis and blastomycosis, making Anivive’s fungal platform the first of its kind.

“I couldn’t see the possibility that we’d have a vaccine 10 years ago,” Galgiani says. “But I think it is possible now.”Anivive has filed multiple patents for a first-in-class production process. The company is collaborating with one of the largest vaccine manufacturers in the industry to a build a unique facility to produce the vaccine at scale. The goal is to be able to vaccinate the 30 million dogs living in or traveling to parts of the country where Valley Fever is present. Valley Fever is an infection caused by inhaling Coccidioides fungus found most commonly in the soil of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. Symptoms in humans resemble those of the flu, but dogs are more likely to develop more severe lung-blocking forms of the disease by digging through soil. In several Arizona counties, close to 10 percent of dogs come down with the disease every year, costing owners hundreds of millions in expenses. In humans, the economic impact of Valley fever is more than $3.9 billion a year.”Simply walking, playing, or digging outdoors puts millions of dogs at risk for developing Valley Fever each year,” explains Anivive’s Chief Medical Officer David Bruyette, DVM, DACVIM. “Even when treated, the infection can often recur and cause debilitation or death. With spread now being linked to climate change, it has never been more crucial for us to develop a way to treat this deadly infection.” Anivive’s technology is not only pushing the envelope on Valley Fever development. There are over eight therapeutics in Anivive’s pipeline. To learn more, visit: https://anivive.com/treatments.

WUHAN, China, June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A news release from Global Times:Leaders of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states, observer states, and dialogue partners as well as representatives of non-governmental friendship organizations, have held in-depth discussions on topics such as think tank exchanges, sister city cooperation, health, rural development and poverty reduction, high-quality connectivity, and new media training. Speaking at the opening ceremony of the SCO Forum on People-to-People Friendship held in Wuhan on Thursday, officials and experts also reached a broad consensus on carrying forward the “Shanghai Spirit”, deepening solidarity and collaboration, maintaining peace and stability of countries in the region, promoting common development and making greater contributions towards building a community with a shared future for humanity. The Forum was co-organized by the Good-neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation Commission of the SCO, the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, and Hubei Provincial People’s Government.

The Forum realizes that the SCO plays a pivotal role in respecting diversity of civilizations, supporting the people of all countries in independently choosing the path for development, establishing equal partnerships, safeguarding peace and stability of our region and promoting common development. The SCO has become a comprehensive regional cooperation organization uniting 18 countries and a population of over 3 billion. The Forum spoke highly of the non-governmental organizations of SCO countries for their solidarity and mutual assistance in the fight against COVID-19, and underlined that only through solidarity and cooperation can the international community overcome global challenges such as COVID-19 and safeguard the common home of mankind. It supports practical cooperation, deep integration of industrial, supply, and value chains, unimpeded regional economic circulation, and more cooperation in areas such as digital economy, e-commerce, artificial intelligence and smart city with a view to improving people’s well-being and building a green and open regional economy characterized by innovation and coordination and shared by all. The Forum encourages greater mutual learning between civilizations, good-neighborliness and friendship among countries, and the involvement of women, youth, children, and other groups in fruitful bilateral and multilateral exchanges and cooperation in culture, education, academic research, sports, media, tourism, science and technology, health, traditional medicine, folk arts and crafts, and environmental protection to form an all-dimensional, in-depth, and multi-channel cooperation framework. The Forum believes that non-governmental organizations need to be more active in facilitating communication, reflecting the will of the people, and pooling together people’s efforts. It highly praises the non-governmental organizations of the SCO countries for expanding partnership networks, leveraging their own strengths, promoting friendly cooperation, and making concerted efforts to enhance policy, infrastructure, trade, financial and people-to-people connectivity. The Forum supports the initiative of Tajikistan as the current holder of the rotating presidency of the SCO to hold the SCO Women’s Forum and other activities, and supports Tajikistan’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, Tajikistan’s SCO Center for Friendship and Cooperation, and China-Tajikistan Friendship Association to actively participate in and hold a series of activities to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the SCO.

The Forum proposes that non-governmental organizations of member states, observer states and dialogue partners take the 20th anniversary of the founding of the SCO in 2021 as an opportunity to deepen mutual understanding and traditional friendship and actively promote the cause of people-to-people friendship of the SCO in the post-epidemic era. China is willing to jointly hold activities to facilitate people-to-people friendship and promote the building of a community of health, security, development, and humanities together with the Indian Council of World Affairs, Kazakhstan’s Children’s Fund, Kyrgyz’s National Assembly, China-Pakistan Study Center of the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad, Pakistan’s Institute of Peace and Diplomacy, Russia-China Friendship Association, Russian Children’s Fund, Tajikistan’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Friendship and Cooperation Centre in Tajikistan, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Center for Public Diplomacy in Uzbekistan, Afghan’s Women’s Education Center, Belarus’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, Iran-China Friendship Association, Mongolian Peace and Friendship Organization, Azerbaijan’s Heydar Aliyev Foundation, and Armenia’s China-Eurasia Center for Strategic Studies. The Forum believes that sub-national cooperation provides a solid foundation and source of strength for the long-term friendship between countries. It also functions as a propeller for friendship among peoples. All countries should, on the basis of equality, openness, justice and mutual benefit, take the opportunity of the Forum to carry out friendly exchanges and win-win cooperation at the sub-national level in various fields, promote personnel exchanges and cooperation facilitation, and boost the establishment of sister provinces, states, and cities. The Forum suggests that Hubei and SCO countries strengthen pragmatic cooperation in fields such as trade, logistics, conventions and exhibitions, infrastructure, and health. To this end, it suggests first establishing a China-SCO Health Cooperation Demonstration Area in Hubei Province and setting up a China-SCO Friendship Expo Park in Wuhan City. It will promote the establishment of a “house of friendship” for SCO non-governmental activities in Wuhan City, and suggests that member states, observer states, and dialogue partners also establish their “house of friendship”.
