Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, today announced the publication next month of The Power of Where: A Geographic Approach to the World's Greatest Challenges. Written by Esri president Jack Dangermond with a dedicated Esri team and numerous contributors, this important new book explores the geographic approach—a way of solving problems using spatial analysis to perceive and understand patterns ranging from wildlife migration and rising seas to urban planning and food production. According to Dangermond, sustainability begins with geography. "I believed this when we started Esri, and I'm even more convinced today," says Dangermond. "GIS [geographic information system technology] provides a platform for addressing problems, exploring alternatives, designing solutions, and sharing them in a visual way that inspires action." The Power of Where shows through maps and stories how the growing GIS community is facing humanity's big challenges, including climate change, hunger, w

Egle Therapeutics, a biotechnology company focused on advancing the next generation of regulatory T cell-focused therapies for oncology and auto-immunity, will deliver an oral presentation at The Promise of Interleukin-2 Therapy meeting taking place in Paris from September 4th to 7th, 2024. The presentation, entitled “EGL-003, a novel IL-2 mutein to selectively expand and activate regulatory T cells and improve therapeutic efficacy in autoimmune disease”, will show evidence that EGL-003, a non-targeted Fc-fused IL-2 agonist mutein, selectively binds to regulatory T cells (Treg) and induces Treg IL-2 signaling. The resulting increase of Treg frequencies was observed in vitro and in different mouse models. Accordingly, EGL-003 significantly improved clinical, macroscopic, and histological parameters in a DSS-induced colitis mouse model with expansion of tissue-resident Tregs. EGL-003 is the first drug candidate being developed for treatment of autoimmune diseases in Egle’s pipeline and h

NIQ powered by CGA is expanding its On Premise Measurement (OPM) globally. On Premise accounts for 61% of global beverage alcohol value sales, making it vital for brand owners to continue to invest in the channel. On Premise provides an important platform for building brand equity and long-term consumer loyalty. This, in part, is demonstrated by the fact that beverage alcohol brands have overall been less impacted by the threat of private label than other FMCG categories. The volume of private labels in Off Premise accounts for less than 10% of total sales, (a figure far lower than the equivalent for other FMCG categories). Innovative serve strategies and activations which connect with consumers and ensure elevated quality will be key to maintaining a positive perception of value among consumers, as well as building long term success for Beverage Alcohol brands and On Premise alike. Key Highlights of the NIQ On Premise Study powered by CGA includes: 83% of global LDA* consumers have vi
