舊金山,2025年1月14日(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——Micron Biomedical是一家生命科學公司,致力於開發全球首個基於可溶微陣列的無針藥物和疫苗技術。公司今日宣布,贏得了生物醫學先進研究與開發局(BARDA)的Patch Forward競賽,並在舊金山的J.P. Morgan醫療保健大會和生物技術展示會上進行了展示。這筆200萬美元的獎金旨在推進Micron與專注於下一代RNA藥物的生物技術公司Zipcode Bio的合作,開發無針的mRNA廣泛保護流感疫苗。Zipcode Bio由諾貝爾獎得主德魯·韋斯曼博士和張傑森博士共同創立。

Micron Biomedical的首席執行官史蒂文·戴蒙表示:“使所有疫苗,包括流感疫苗,更具廣泛保護性和可及性,有潛力在全球範圍內拯救生命。我們非常高興能夠獲得美國衛生與公共服務部BARDA的認可,成為重新思考疫苗施打方式的重要疫苗創新之一。我們期待繼續與Zipcode Bio的合作,加速實現無針廣泛保護流感疫苗的夢想。”

根據世界衛生組織的數據,每年有數十萬人死於流感感染,數百萬人則經歷嚴重症狀。此外,該組織預測,由於流感通過交談和咳嗽的高效傳播方式,“未來的流感大流行是不可避免的”。根據疾病控制與預防中心(CDC)的數據,所有6個月以上的人應接種疫苗,且目前可用的流感疫苗必須每年重新接種。然而,接種疫苗的人數卻持續下降。

Zipcode Bio的首席執行官兼聯合創始人張傑森表示:“BARDA Patch Forward獎是一個關鍵的進步,能推進有潛力減少流感全球影響的科學。Zipcode正在開發的廣泛保護流感疫苗,可以減少流感疫苗的頻繁更換,而Micron Biomedical的微陣列技術則有潛力以無痛且更方便的選擇顯著提高接種率。”

根據BARDA,Patch Forward獎是美國聯邦政府歷史上最大的獎勵之一。該獎項是美國政府更大規模的50億美元計劃Project NextGen的一部分。Project NextGen的目標是通過公私合作,加速和簡化下一代疫苗和治療的快速開發。

BARDA DRiVe的前負責人桑迪普·帕特爾表示:“儘管醫學技術取得了顯著進步,但大多數疫苗仍然使用超過170年的技術:針筒和針頭。這一過時的過程必須演變,以滿足現代世界的需求。Micron Biomedical開發的微陣列技術,有機會徹底改變疫苗如何到達人們手中,並幫助我們更快地應對未來的流行病。將這種無針施打與靈活多變的mRNA疫苗平台結合,所帶來的將是突破性的變革。”

Micron的技術使用可溶微陣列“按鈕”,可直接應用於皮膚,按下後無痛地將疫苗或治療劑直接送入最上層的真皮層,並可由患者自行施打或由護理人員或父母施打。藥物釋放在幾秒鐘內完成,技術可從皮膚上移除並作為非利器廢物處理。Micron的技術具有耐熱性,減少或消除了對冷鏈運輸和儲存的需求,並因其潛力在難以到達的環境中實現積極的全球影響而受到認可。

今年早些時候,Micron宣布獲得比爾和梅琳達·蓋茨基金會的750萬美元資助,至今該組織共支持了4300萬美元,用於資助Micron的無針疫苗的大規模生產,並促進首個基於微陣列技術的麻疹-風疹疫苗的商業化,該疫苗適用於9個月以上的兒童;此外,還獲得了CEPI的370萬美元資助,以加速對抗X病的無針疫苗的開發。

關於Micron Biomedical

Micron Biomedical是可溶微陣列基藥物和疫苗施打技術的領導者。Micron Biomedical是一家臨床階段的生命科學公司,正快速推進其專有的可溶微陣列技術的商業化。Micron的技術旨在通過無注射、無痛、簡單或自我施打的方式,改善全球的可及性並實現更好的健康結果,並通過減少或消除對冷鏈運輸和儲存的需求,增強安全性和有效性,提高患者的依從性。Micron與私營和公共實體合作或獲得資金,包括製藥和生物技術公司、比爾和梅琳達·蓋茨基金會、疾病控制與預防中心(CDC)、PATH和喬治亞研究聯盟。

這項技術的發展不僅是醫療領域的一次重大創新,也可能改變全球疫苗接種的格局。隨著流感疫情的威脅日益增加,Micron Biomedical的無針疫苗技術或許能夠成為應對未來流行病的重要工具。這不僅提高了疫苗接種的便利性,還可能解決目前疫苗接種率下降的問題,為全球公共健康帶來新的希望。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel, true-to-life portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference). Create a portrait of a  fair-skinned woman with long, curly dark hair styled in a high ponytail, her head turned to the side, her expression neutral and serene; her makeup features defined eyebrows, subtle eyeliner, light blush, and glossy lips; she wears dangling earrings with a floral design; she has a piercing in her ear; the image is in ultra-high 8K resolution, showcasing detailed skin textures, crisp edges, and sharp focus on her eyes; a medium shot, taken from the side to emphasize her profile, with a shallow depth of field that softly blurs the background; soft, diffused lighting illuminates her face evenly, creating subtle shadows and highlights, with a warm color palette of soft browns and creams; she is wearing a dark strapless top; the background is a soft, neutral tone, ensuring the focus remains on the subject; no additional props are present; photorealistic style, akin to a raw camera capture, is achieved using an 85mm lens, ISO 100, and an aperture of f/2.0 for a shallow depth of field and soft background blur.

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, ultra-sharp black and white studio portrait of a young woman with a powerful, direct gaze. She is seated gracefully on a seamless bright white floor, her legs crossed in a stylized, almost sculptural pose, with one knee raised and her hands clasped firmly over it. Her posture exudes a blend of strength and quiet contemplation. Her long, sleek, dark brown hair is meticulously parted down the middle, falling evenly over her shoulders, framing her face with elegant precision. Her makeup is refined and impactful, featuring intensely defined eyes with dark eyeliner, subtle shading, and prominent, well-groomed eyebrows. Her lips are natural, complementing her smooth, matte complexion. She is dressed in a simple, form-fitting black long-sleeved bodysuit, which accentuates the natural contours of her body without distraction. There are no accessories, maintaining a pure and minimalist aesthetic. *** The lighting is soft, even, and highly diffused, creating subtle, sculptural shadows that define her form and facial features without any harshness. The seamless pure white background provides an expansive, ethereal setting, isolating the subject and enhancing the monochromatic palette. The composition is a perfectly balanced medium full shot, centering the model and emphasizing the strong, symmetrical lines of her pose. The image is rendered with exquisite detail and clarity, from the individual strands of her hair to the subtle textures of her skin. The overall style is minimalist fine art portraiture, blending classic elegance with a contemporary edge, focusing on form, emotional depth, and timeless beauty. A whimsical, artistic scene set in a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng (茶餐廳): A charming cat sits comfortably at a small table, elegantly sipping a traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea from a delicate glass. The cat's fur is soft and expressive, and its posture is relaxed yet attentive, suggesting it is a regular at the tea shop. The restaurant interior is bustling yet cozy, adorned with retro posters, old ceiling fans, patterned floor tiles, and Formica tables reflecting the local culture. Sunlight streams through the window, casting warm highlights on the cat and creating a vivid play of shadows. Details include steaming milk tea cups, egg tarts and pineapple buns on the table, and waiters in classic uniforms moving in the background. The overall color palette is rich and atmospheric, blending nostalgia with the lively charm of Hong Kong.
