Show Full Article MIDLAND, Michigan, May 29 -- Dow, a materials science company that says it serves customers in high-growth markets such as packaging, infrastructure, mobility and consumer applications, issued the following news release on May 28, 2026: * * * Dow launches DOWSIL(TM) TC-3120 Thermal Gel for optimum heat transfers with optical grade cleanliness and ease of processing for optical modules, dense electronics and high-speed data applications Dowopens in a new tab (NYSE: Dow) today announced the launch of DOWSIL(TM) TC-3120 Thermal Gelopens in a new tab, a silicone-based material designed to optimizeheat transfers and provide optical-grade cleanliness. It has the highest thermal conductivity (~12 W/m.K) among Dow's commercially available silicone gels and is designed to minimize oil bleeding and condensed outgassing - contaminants that can reduce the reliability of optics and electronics.
The superior thermal conductivity of DOWSIL(TM) TC-3120 Thermal Gel enables its use with 800G and 1.6T optical modules, dense electronics and high-speed data applications, which can generate significant amounts of heat. Applications include optical transceivers, telecommunications, electronic module assemblies, autonomous vehicles and automotive electronic controllers.
The optical cleanliness of this new material helps reduce the risk of contamination in photodiodes, optical fibers and lenses. DOWSIL(TM) TC-3120 Thermal Gel is supplied as a flowable paste and can be pressed to a minimum bondline thickness of 200 um for effective heat transfers. This one-part, reworkable material can fill large gaps, and curing can be accelerated with heat.
Although DOWSIL(TM) TC-3120 Thermal Gel is highly loaded with thermally conductive fillers, this ultra-high-Kappa (ultra-high K) material is readily dispensable and supports controlled extrusion rates. That is unusual among ultra-high-K materials that combine high dielectric constants and ultra-high thermal conductivity.
Many such materials also release silicone oil and may not readily support a consistent bond line thickness during production. The minimization of oil bleeding for the DOWSIL(TM) TC-3120 Thermal Gel helps reduce contamination to sensitive components, interference with adhesion and resulting optical failures.
"DOWSIL(TM) TC-3120 Thermal Gel maximizes thermal transfers without sacrificing reliability, especially in optical and high-speed data applications," said Cathy Chu, Global Strategic Marketing Director, Consumer & Electronics, Dow. "It is also highly efficient to process."
Among its advantages, DOWSIL(TM) TC-3120 Thermal Gel is designed to withstand high temperatures and humidity, shock and vibration, and repeated thermal cycling. It forms a stable interface that resists cracking and remains in place when subjected to mechanical stresses. In addition, it resists slumping in vertically oriented modules like optical transceivers. This new material is recommended for module-to-heatsink interfaces with tolerance stackups or uneven surfaces.
DOWSIL(TM) TC-3120 Thermal Gel is the newest addition to Dow(TM) Cooling Science, a system-level approach to thermal management that combines materials with testing and engineering expertise to help customers design cooler, more reliable, and more efficient electronic systems.
DOWSIL(TM) TC-3120 Thermal Gel is available globally.

GSK plc (LSE/NYSE: GSK) today announced positive pivotal data for bepirovirsen, its investigational antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Results from the two phase III trials, B-Well 1 [NCT05630807] and B-Well 2 [NCT05630820], were simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) congress./1
Pooled data from both trials showed that 6-month treatment with bepirovirsen achieved a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 19% functional cure response rate (233 of 1,220 vs. 0 of 614 in the placebo group/i, with p<0.001 in both trials) in the overall study population (adults with 3000 IU/ml hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) level), meeting the primary endpoint. In a key secondary endpoint, a functional cure rate of 26% (200 of 768 vs. 0 of 393 in the placebo group, with p<0.001 in both trials) was achieved in participants with 1000 IU/ml HBsAg level, a group that represents approximately 45% of diagnosed CHB cases globally./4 The current standard of care typically requires lifelong therapy, with functional cure rates achieved in less than 1% of patients./5
Functional cure occurs when the hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and HBsAg are undetectable in the blood for at least 6 months after stopping all treatment. This indicates the disease is controlled by the immune system without medication./6 A loss in HBsAg is also associated with an 89% reduction in risk of liver cancer and a 62% reduction in risk of all-cause mortality./2 Notably, in an exploratory analysis, 49% of bepirovirsen recipients achieved a quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen (qHBsAg) of 100 IU/mL one year after the end of treatment. Medical literature has linked this level of low surface antigen with increased immune control and improved patient outcomes./7 Moreover, 23% of all bepirovirsen recipients (283 of 1220 vs 0 of 614 in the placebo group; p<0.001 in both trials) and 31% of bepirovirsen recipients with baseline HBsAg 1000 IU/mL (237 of 768 vs 0 of 393 in the placebo group; p<0.001 in both trials) achieved a sustained HBV DNA lower limit of quantification (
The trials showed an acceptable safety and tolerability profile consistent with other studies of bepirovirsen. The three most frequently observed adverse events were injection site erythema, local pain and temporary rise in the blood level of a liver enzyme.
Tony Wood, Chief Scientific Officer, GSK, said: "CHB affects over 240 million people worldwide/3 and accounts for over half of global liver cancer cases./8 For the first time, bepirovirsen offers the possibility of significantly better functional cure rates than the current standard of care, and the potential to reduce the risk of long-term liver complications, including cancer. This is a major step forward in our growing pipeline to treat liver disease to help transform outcomes for patients."
Efforts around testing, diagnosis and treatment of CHB are increasingly underway in multiple geographies, including China/9 and the US/10, with clinical guidelines striving for functional cure as a treatment goal.
Professor Jinlin Hou, Director of Guangdong Institute of Hepatology, China, and lead author of the New England Journal of Medicine's manuscript, said: "Today's standard of care for CHB imposes a heavy burden on patients and healthcare systems, and rarely delivers a functional cure. With recent guidelines now prioritising functional cure/6, these new data could represent an important advance. Combined with improved testing and diagnosis, this innovation has the potential to improve the lives of millions living with CHB."
Results from the two trials are summarised in Table 1.

Bepirovirsen is currently under priority review by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with both Breakthrough and Fast Track Designation./11,12 It is also under review by regulatory authorities in Europe/13, Japan with SENKU designation/14 and China with Breakthrough Therapy and Priority Review designation./15 GSK anticipates the first regulatory decisions in Q3 2026 and launch preparations are underway. In May 2026, GSK entered a strategic collaboration with Sino Biopharmaceutical that aims to accelerate patient access to bepirovirsen at launch in China./16

About the B-Well 1 and B-Well 2 clinical trials
The B-Well 1 and B-Well 2 trials are global multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials conducted in 29 countries. They assessed the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic profile, and durability of functional cure in nucleos(t)ide analogue-treated adult participants with chronic hepatitis B and baseline surface antigen (HBsAg) 3000 IU/ml. The primary endpoint assessed the proportion of participants achieving functional cure in patients with baseline HBsAg 3000 IU/ml. A key ranked secondary endpoint evaluated functional cure in participants with baseline HBsAg 1000 IU/ml. Functional cure is defined as HBsAg being undetectable in the blood for at least 24 weeks after stopping all treatment, indicating that the disease is controlled by the immune system without medication.

About chronic hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that can cause both acute and chronic liver disease. Chronic hepatitis B occurs when the immune system is unable to clear the virus, resulting in long-lasting infection that affects more than 240 million people worldwide, including 1.7 million people in the United States (US) and 75 million in China.3 The disease causes approximately 1.1 million deaths each year3, and accounts for approximately 56% of liver cancer cases globally. Currently, many patients often require lifelong antiviral therapy for viral suppression, making functional cure a critical goal in disease management.
* * *
About bepirovirsen
Bepirovirsen is an investigational antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) designed to recognize and inhibit the production of the genetic components (i.e. RNA) of the hepatitis B virus that can lead to chronic disease, potentially allowing a person's immune system to regain control. Bepirovirsen reduces the production of RNA and viral proteins associated with HBV, suppresses the level of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood, and stimulates the immune system to increase the chances of a durable and sustained response.
GSK licensed bepirovirsen from Ionis and collaborated with them on its development. Bepirovirsen has been recognised by global regulatory authorities for its innovation and potential to address significant unmet need in hepatitis B, with Fast Track and Breakthrough Designations from the US FDA, Breakthrough Therapy and Priority Review designation in China and SENKU designation in Japan.

Show Full Article PHOENIX, Arizona, May 29 (TNSjou) -- Banner Health issued the following news release: * * * Banner blood test may predict Alzheimer's treatment brain swelling risk Five-biomarker plasma panel linked to condition causing brain swelling and bleeding - SUN CITY, Ariz. - Banner Sun Health Research Institute is leading new science showing that a blood-based biomarker panel may one day provide a rapid, inexpensive and non-invasive way for researchers and physicians to identify Alzheimer's disease patients at increased risk for brain swelling or bleeding associated with new anti-amyloid therapies,according to findings recently published in Acta Neuropathologica (https://doi.org/10.1007/s00401-026-03030-5).
The study leverages Banner's pioneering Fluid Biomarker Program -- one of the few facilities worldwide that both develops and engineers blood-based diagnostics at scale -- and the institute's Brain and Body Donation Program, where more than 3,000 community volunteers have contributed to scientific efforts since 1987.
The research provides proof-of-concept that researchers can identify blood-based biomarkers for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), a condition linked to the serious side effects some patients experience when taking new Alzheimer's medications. The findings lay the foundation for more precise use of these therapies, according to lead author Alpana Singh, PhD, postdoctoral fellow with the fluid biomarker program.
"This is the first study to identify a panel of plasma biomarkers that, if validated through further research, could one day predict risk for CAA," Dr. Singh said. "This could help us identify individuals at risk for developing the abnormalities seen in the brain scans of some people receiving the new anti-amyloid therapies and who therefore would not be good candidates for clinical trials or prescription medications."
CAA is a condition in which amyloid protein accumulates in the walls of blood vessels in the brain. Evidence points to CAA as a major driver of fluid buildup, swelling and bleeding - so-called amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) - seen in brain scans of people taking the new Alzheimer's medications, which work by removing amyloid protein from the brain. In clinical trials of anti-amyloid therapies, ARIA-related brain swelling has been reported in approximately 12% to 40% of patients, while small brain bleeds have been observed in about 14%.
Currently, MRI scans and other imaging provide the only ways to identify probable CAA and monitor for ARIA, and they miss about 20% to 30% of abnormalities. "These modalities are expensive, need specialized infrastructure and expert personnel to assess and evaluate the images, and clinician interpretation of images can vary," Dr. Singh said.
The study drew on blood samples and data from participants in the Arizona Study of Aging and Neurodegenerative Disorders and Brain and Body Donation Program at Banner Sun Health Research Institute, which has been ongoing since 1997. These volunteer participants commit to annual clinical assessments during life and agree to donate their brain and body after death -- contributions that are essential to research progress because obtaining tissue samples from living patients is rarely possible. The research team used blood samples taken five years or less before participants' death. The team showed that a panel of five plasma biomarkers - CRP, IL4, CCL11, PDLIM5 and NPY - could discriminate CAA cases from non-CAA cases with a positive predictive value of 93% and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.90, demonstrating robust discriminatory performance. These biomarkers are associated with inflammation, vascular function and neurodevelopmental processes in the brain.
"The combination of high predictive value and strong discriminatory performance provides encouraging early evidence that this biomarker panel may be capable of reliably distinguishing CAA cases from non-CAA cases," said study co-author Nicholas Ashton, PhD, senior director of the fluid biomarker program. "Further development and validation are needed, but this study underscores the promise that blood-based tests could one day provide an effective and simpler way to predict risk for serious side effects of Alzheimer's drugs. As anti-amyloid therapies become more widely studied and used, such tools are urgently needed."
The research team did not directly test whether the biomarker panel predicts ARIA in patients receiving anti-amyloid therapies, Dr. Singh cautioned. The next steps involve validating the findings in other independent cohorts.

"We're proud of our continued partnership with the City of Mesquite and the successful completion of this important infrastructure investment," said Louis Maltezos, Co-President of Ameresco. "Modernizing wastewater infrastructure strengthens system reliability and positions communities to meet future needs with confidence. This project supports the modernization of critical infrastructure to strengthen system reliability and long term performance."
Ameresco provided a full wastewater rehabilitation solution that included the supply and installation of a multi-layered polymeric lining system to restore structural integrity of the manholes and extend service life. Prior to coating installation, each manhole structure underwent a comprehensive cleaning process, with any identified holes or cracks grouted and plugged to create ideal surface conditions for maximum coating adhesion and long-term performance.
"The City of Mesquite is committed to providing quality water and wastewater services to our customers with limited disruptions," said Cliff Keheley, City Manager. "This proactive approach to rehabilitate aging assets not only prevents disruptions, it manages costs. Programs like the ones offered by Ameresco help the City provide consistent and affordable services to our citizens."
This project marks the latest initiative in a successful multi-year partnership with the City of Mesquite focused on modernizing critical water infrastructure. Previous collaboration efforts included the implementation of a comprehensive smart metering infrastructure project serving the city's residential and commercial water utility customers.
