HKBU-led research develops novel drug delivery system for Gouteng compound for Alzheimer’s disease treatment

Hong Kong Baptist University

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 6 December 2023 - A research team led by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has developed a novel drug delivery system for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The researchers have engineered exosomes, extracellular vesicles released by cells, to effectively carry the bioactive compound Corynoxine-B extracted from the Chinese herbal medicine Gouteng to the brain of mice with AD. As Corynoxine-B can induce autophagy, a process that maintains the health of cells, this new drug delivery system using exosomes can improve cognitive function and movement while reducing the symptoms of AD. The research findings have been published in the international academic journal Nature-Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy. Bioactive compound of Gouteng can treat AD AD is the most common type of dementia in which the brain cells degenerate and die, characterised by a build-up of amyloid-beta and phospho-tau protein in the brain, resulting in the decline of the brain's cognitive functions. Currently more than 55 million people worldwide are dementia patients. In Hong Kong more than 100,000 elderly suffer from dementia and the number is anticipated to soar to more than 330,000 by 2039. At present there is no curative treatment for AD. Available treatments can only delay the disease's progression and improve symptoms. HKBU's previous research projects found that Corynoxine-B, a bioactive compound of Gouteng, is effective in treating AD. However, the blood-brain barrier which protects the brain from potentially harmful substances in the bloodstream affects its uptake in brain. Exosomes serve as drug carriers To tackle this problem, a research team comprising Professor Li Min, Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning) of Chinese Medicine, and Dr Ashok Iyaswamy, Research Assistant Professor of the Teaching and Research Division at the School of Chinese Medicine at HKBU, along with other local, mainland and overseas scientists, have developed a novel approach to deliver Corynoxine-B to the brain using exosomes. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles released by cells which can transport molecules between cells like nanocarriers. Recent studies have shown that they could be utilised as vehicles for drug delivery. To examine whether exosomes are effective drug carriers for AD, the researchers manipulated the neuronal cells in mice to overexpress an adaptor protein Fe65 on the surface of exosomes released by these cells. Fe65 is involved in the processing of amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP), which plays a crucial role in the development of AD. By doing so, they observed more exosomes containing Fe65 were released by the neuronal cells. These engineered exosomes showed a good ability to migrate towards the neuronal cells with APP overexpressed in AD models. These findings suggest that the presence of Fe65 on the surface of exosomes enhanced their ability to specifically target and interact with the neuronal cells with elevated levels of APP, which is a characteristic feature of AD. Reduction of accumulated amyloid-beta protein Corynoxine-B is a natural inducer of autophagy which plays a crucial role in maintaining neuronal health. The research team loaded it into the engineered exosomes and injected it to the mice with AD to evaluate its potential as a therapeutic agent for the disease. Results show that engineered exosomes loaded with Corynoxine-B could enhance autophagy in mice, and were able to cross the blood-brain barrier to deliver Corynoxine-B to the brain, resulting in a 30% reduction of accumulated amyloid-beta protein. In addition, various behavioural tests including the rotarod test, open field test, contextual fear conditioning test, and Morris's water maze test conducted on mice with AD showed that the application of engineered exosomes loaded with Corynoxine-B resulted in 25% recovery of the cognitive and locomotor behaviour. Professor Li Min said: "Our study suggests that exosomes could be a promising new way to deliver drugs to the brain and treat AD. More research is needed, but this study provides hope that a cure for AD may be possible in the future. We hope that this research project will ultimately be beneficial to the elderly, individuals at high risk of neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative disease patients."

Green Lantern Solar Wins 2023 Solar Builder Community Solar Project of the Year Award for Innovative Brownfield Project

Green Lantern Solar

Green Lantern Solar, a leading renewable energy development and finance company focusing on commercial solar and energy storage systems, is the recipient of the 2023 Community Solar Project of the Year Award from Solar Builder. This accolade celebrates Green Lantern Solar’s outstanding achievement in completing a ground-mount net-metered community solar project situated on a challenging brownfield site at a former U.S. Air Force Station in St. Albans, Vt. Solar Builder is an industry-leading media outlet that focuses on the installation/construction of solar PV systems, covering the latest PV technology (modules, mounting, inverters, storage, BOS) and equipping installers/contractors with tips and tools to make informed purchasing decisions. Solar Builder’s Project of the Year Awards is a celebration of the solar industry’s achievements and dedication. The awards recognize the hard work of construction teams, the creativity of engineers, the leadership of developers and the commitment of local businesses, government agencies and nonprofits. Green Lantern Solar’s award-winning project, a 500 kW system featuring 1,700 ground-mounted panels, generates 892,000 kWh of clean energy annually, making a significant contribution to the region’s sustainable energy goals. “We are deeply honored to receive the 2023 Solar Builder Community Solar Project of the Year Award for our brownfield project on a former U.S. Air Force Station in Vt.,” said Scott Buckley, president of Green Lantern Solar. “This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to advancing renewable energy solutions, even in the face of formidable site challenges. Our success is a testament to the dedication of our team and the resilience of our partners and community. We are proud to contribute to Vermont's sustainable future and look forward to continuing our mission of delivering clean energy solutions for a better tomorrow.” Originally scheduled to commence construction in March 2021, the project encountered various challenges, including commissioning delays. Despite these setbacks, Green Lantern Solar rallied its team and local contractors to persevere through a harsh Vermont winter, ensuring the project’s completion within the new timeline. The development of the project was complicated by the presence of contaminants on the brownfield site, necessitating the implementation of a Department of Environmental Conservation-approved soil management strategy. Vegetative management was conducted by hand using chainsaws to prevent any exposure to potentially contaminated soils in sensitive areas. Additionally, the project site, located atop a hill overlooking the city of St. Albans, consisted predominantly of solid rock, requiring drilling through rock for many of the racking posts and fence components. Portions of the site were also ballasted to safeguard the contaminated areas. Despite these formidable challenges, the project successfully met its March commissioning date, providing clean energy savings to the local community, including area farms benefiting from net metering credits. Furthermore, the project plays a pivotal role in helping Vermont achieve its Renewable Energy Standard target of 75 percent renewable energy by 2032. The system’s environmental impact is substantial, offsetting 632 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the reduction of 708,099 pounds of coal burned or the energy consumption of 79 homes for one year. “We extend our sincere appreciation to all of our esteemed partners, stakeholders and the dedicated local community for their steadfast support in transforming this award-winning project into a remarkable reality,” added Buckley. “We also congratulate all the nominees and honorees who have distinguished themselves in these prestigious awards.” The following organizations’ unwavering dedication and exceptional efforts were instrumental in the success of this award-winning project: APA Solar; Downs Rachlin Martin; E&S Electric Company; Green Mountain Power; Homestead Fence Company; Jeff Adams Excavating; Krebs & Lansing Consulting Engineers; Megawatt Group; Solar on Earth; Solar Power Engineering; Stone Environmental; Vermont Economic Development Authority and the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.

Blocksquare Hires Seasoned Exec Fergus Murphy As Its New Head Of Global Institutional Banking To Accelerate Real Estate Tokenization

Blocksquare

Blocksquare, creator of the world’s top blockchain-based tokenization platform for the real estate industry, announced that Fergus Murphy has joined the company as its new Head of Global Institutional Banking. Fergus is a highly skilled and experienced executive, whose illustrious career has spanned 25 years in the retail, business, banking and financial services industries. With his proven track record of successful and transformative leadership in related industries, Fergus will play an instrumental role in helping Blocksquare to fulfill its vision of tokenizing the world’s property markets. Earlier this year, Blocksquare successfully completed a key milestone when it successfully executed the world’s first notarized tokenization of a real estate property, which is now integrated within the Slovenian land registry.

Fergus said he’s excited by the opportunities Blocksquare will create in the real estate market, stressing the transformative and disruptive potential of blockchain, tokenization and the fractional ownership of property. According to Fergus, tokenization will herald a new era of participation, speed, efficiency and opportunity at a time when 80% of global real estate is held in highly illiquid, private markets. Fergus shares Blocksquare’s vision of a future where tokenization will enable banks to hold digital collateral, developers to seek faster and more efficient funding, real estate agents to create new investment products, and fund managers to engage in more diversified investing strategies. "I am passionate about the transformation of global property markets to a fit for purpose 21st-century experience for all participants,” he stated. Besides the new opportunities, Fergus believes tokenization will facilitate the modernization of land registries in countries around the world, enabling property owners to manage their homes as assets in a more flexible way. Fergus joins Blocksquare at a pivotal moment for real-world asset tokenization projects, with recent developments in global financial markets underscoring the need for visionary leadership that can accelerate the adoption of blockchain infrastructure and create new opportunities to drive an economic rebound. "Blockchain infrastructure, tokenization, and the fractionalization of property are absolutely key to this enormous opportunity,” Fergus added. “I'm therefore delighted to be joining such a leading company as Blocksquare who are forging ahead with innovative solutions to build the global property infrastructure and ecosystem of the future."

DeFi Protocol ERD Launches USDE Stablecoin Protocol Ahead of Mining Campaign

Ethereum Reserve Dollar

Ethereum Reserve Dollar ( ERD ), the decentralized lending protocol, launched its USDE stablecoin protocol today following nearly one year of development. ERD is a lending platform that allows users to borrow USDE, a USD-pegged stablecoin native to the platform, using liquid staking derivatives (LSDs) and blue-chip DeFi tokens as collateral. The protocol maintains a minimum collateralization ratio of 110%, striking a balance between decentralization, capital efficiency, and price stability. In the fast-paced world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the demand for fully decentralized stablecoins is growing. The challenge has been to simultaneously achieve capital efficiency, price stability, and decentralization, a combination that has proven difficult to achieve. Numerous attempts have been made to create stablecoins that are both decentralized and capital efficient. However, these efforts often led to significant price fluctuations, causing depegging and collapse. The industry has thus been left with a choice between capital efficiency and decentralization, with price stability being a fundamental requirement for any stablecoin's adoption. Ethereum Reserve Dollar is designed to address these challenges. The ERD protocol is fully decentralized, providing a safer solution to the dominant centralized and semi-centralized stablecoins in the market. It leverages instant redemptions to maintain price parity and secures loans with a Stability Pool containing USDE, which allows for immediate liquidation and bypasses the need for liquidators to prepare liquidity or engage in a complex auction process. The ERD team also uses the principles of modern financial theory to create a more resilient stablecoin. Upon initial launch, the ERD protocol supports LSDs as collateral. However, the project will be the first lending protocol to introduce collateral support for a basket of top DeFi altcoins in its upgrade coming in the first quarter of 2024. This addition aims to transform $USDE into an index-backed stablecoin that mirrors the market dynamics of the greater DeFi ecosystem, thereby leveraging diversification to reduce exposure to single collateral price volatility. Notably, the ERD team is delaying the launch of a governance token to initially focus on sustainable protocol development and expansion. This is a stark contrast from standard industry practices, which have been known to launch early-stage fundraising campaigns centered around governance tokens at the cost of long-term ecosystem health. “The industry is still searching for a viable solution to the need for a stable store of value on-chain that upholds the core tenet of blockchain technology – decentralization,” said Steve Hopkins, ERD’s CMO. “ERD is this and so much more; it's a solution designed to become a truly decentralized reserve asset on the Ethereum network. We believe ERD offers a significant step forward in blockchain and DeFi technology. We’re thrilled to share it with the world.” Following a successful launch of its decentralized lending protocol, the ERD team will launch a two-week mining campaign on 7 December 2023. Miners, Stability Pool depositors, and active community members will compete for points, which will be recorded and considered at a later date. For more information about the ERD protocol and the upcoming event schedule, follow the project on Twitter at @Ethereum_ERD. Experience the decentralized lending platform built for the uncertainties of tomorrow at https://app.erd.xyz. About Ethereum Reserve Dollar: ERD is a decentralized lending protocol that enables users to borrow in USDE, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, using specified LSDs and blue-chip DeFi tokens as collateral. It offers a minimum collateralization ratio of 110% and secures loans with a stable pool containing USDE and other Ethereum-based assets. ERD aims to address the dominance of centralized stablecoins and offer a truly decentralized, capital-efficient alternative. The benefits of ERD include low variable interest rates, high capital efficiency, direct redemptions, and decentralization. Its goal is to become a truly decentralized reserve asset on the Ethereum network. Contact Details Steve Hopkins official@erd.xyz Company Website https://www.erd.xyz/

Bitcoin Eyes $40k, Polygon Set To Explode While New Token Leads With Real AI Use in Crypto

Total Media

Excitement has been rekindled in the crypto market after the Fed hinted at a potential interest rate drop. Bitcoin has capitalized on this, surging past $40,000 to set its sights on $44,000. Polygon (MATIC) is another crypto that has gained momentum in the last few days. Because of this, a top crypto analyst has predicted a potential price surge for MATIC. Amidst the price rally, Everlodge has caught the attention of the crypto space. The project has gained popularity as it looks to lead the adoption of real AI in the crypto space. Bitcoin Has Reclaimed $40,000, Sets Sight on $444,000 A key Fed official has raised the possibility of a rate cut by spring if inflation keeps slowing. The announcement provided the cryptocurrency market a positive boost. Profiting from the optimistic outlook, Bitcoin surged beyond $40,000. The price of Bitcoin will surpass $44k if it breaks above $43,400. Additionally, TradingView data has indicated that the price of Bitcoin may soon surpass $40,000. The approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF is imminent, which might lead to a price rise above $50,000. Analysts have projected that the Bitcoin price could increase to $100,000 by the time of the Bitcoin halving. Some have projected a price of $100,000 for BTC by April 2024. Polygon (MATIC) Could Surge Soon Pseudonymous analyst Bluntz has shared his sentiments about Polygon (MATIC). Based on his analysis, MATIC is currently showing significant bullish signs. According to Bluntz, the price of Polygon is ready for a potential 20% push. When this happens, the price of MATIC could rally to a new high above $1. The MATIC price last traded above $1 in May. Several developments could cause the Polygon price to increase. First, the network is looking to transition. As part of the upgrade, the Polygon network will launch a rebranded POL token. In addition, Lumoz has announced that they will launch StableNet - an EVM-compatible ZK-Rollup - on Polygon. These events could provide the momentum for a price increase for the Polygon coin. Everlodge Leads Adoption of Real AI in Crypto Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the hottest trends in recent months. According to experts, AI will eventually prove to be priceless for platforms that rely on smart contracts and cryptocurrency. Everlodge has embraced this, integrating AI into its blockchain-based real estate marketplace. The purpose of these tools is to assist Everlodge members in making better investment decisions in real estate. These tools are available to Everlodge customers for monitoring, scanning, and analyzing worldwide real estate values. They will not only have access to the most recent global real estate prices, but the AI technologies will also be able to forecast future values. Everlodge wants to provide these properties with more optimized access. The integration of AI aligns with the project's objective of facilitating global accessibility and ease of real estate investing. Due to this, the project has already become popular in the crypto space, drawing a lot of investors to purchase ELDG, the native network token. The project has quickly sold over 18 million ELDG tokens. Also, because Everlodge is connected to the real estate market, which is valued at over $280 trillion, analysts have expressed optimism about it. They have therefore estimated greater upside potential for Everlodge than the Polygon coin. By 2024, ELDG could easily reach $1 per token, while trading at $0.025 at the moment.
