Boehringer Ingelheim and AI drug discovery company Envisagenics have agreed to a potential $1 billion multi-year pact that will task Boehringer with validating tumor-specific targets. https://t.co/48GGCM3gHn
Minister @PiyushGoyal held a productive discussion with Mr. Abdulla Saif Al Nuaimi, Ambassador of the UAE to India, and his delegation on strengthening India-UAE economic ties and exploring new avenues for collaboration.
The discussion focused on leveraging upcoming engagements to deepen partnerships and translate opportunities into tangible outcomes.
Dear my people, you make my little world feel big. You make my quiet days feel less lonely. You make my wins feel worth celebrating. I love you more than I post.🤗🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹#AngelinaJolie
Over 70 million people worldwide are deaf. Collectively, they use 300+ different sign languages.
Wednesday’s International Day of Sign Languages highlights the importance of promoting & protecting sign language to uphold the human rights of deaf people. https://t.co/LJjM02zJTP

A bamboo weave. A square knot. A crackle glaze. A painting from 1072.
In the Mechanics episode of Pathways in Intangible Cultural Heritage, soft robotics researcher Liu Ke and art history scholar Liu Chen explore how craft works with force and how art makes us feel it.
Can an artificial muscle work better with the same fibers but different knots? And what gives a painted mountain its sense of force? Watch to find out.
siRNA dominates the cardiometabolic RNA field
We mapped ~85 active programs from 48 companies targeting 9 popular cardiometabolic pathways (about ~40% of the total active pipeline). ~92% of programs are siRNA, versus just 8% ASO.
That concentration is mostly due to delivery. GalNAc has made liver delivery efficient / repeatable, and every target on this map is largely produced there.
Once this core delivery platform is in place, a company can swap the RNA sequence fairly easily. So clinical validation leads to fast followers: for 7/9 of these pathways, programs have already reached Ph3 or beyond.
That crowding is making durability, convenience (2x / year is increasingly the entry ticket) and outcomes data much more important to differentiate.
And just showing activity ≠ a meaningful clinical benefit waits on the other side:
• Most recently, Novartis' Pelacarsen lowered Lp(a) but did not reduce CV events in an 8K+ patient Ph3
• AZ / Ionis' Eplontersen reduced TTR but missed overall Ph3 primary endpoint in ATTR-CM
• Ionis' Olezarsen reduced TG by 64% and remnant cholesterol by 72%, but did not change non-calcified coronary plaque at 12 months
All of these are ASO readouts, which mostly highlights that it's a more mature modality that reached outcomes-stage testing earlier. siRNA programs will face the same question: does deep, durable knockdown actually produce a benefit on top of modern standard of care?
Looking ahead, the next battleground is 'extrahepatic' delivery (reaching the heart, muscle, CNS and other tissues beyond the liver), just one topic we'll cover in far more depth tomorrow when we drop a 15+ slide report on the RNA space.

Four Asian Games. Twenty years of waiting. And at 50, finally the podium.
Few athletes have given Indian shooting what Mairaj has. Proud to call him a friend, and proud that @JindalSteel_In has stood with him along the way.
Heartiest congratulations.
Which are better therapeutics: antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs)? A review of these and related molecular entities which have led to over 20 FDA approvals and many more to come

Yesterday, on World Alzheimer’s Day, we were reminded of the importance of nutrition in supporting brain health and those impacted by Alzheimer’s disease.
At Planet Harvest, we know that food is medicine. I’m proud to partner with @EliLillyandCo and @thrive to deliver 13,500 fresh food boxes—more than 200,000 pounds of nutritious fruits and vegetables—alongside brain health resources across 10 U.S. cities.
Together with our local partners, we’re turning a shared commitment to healthier communities into meaningful, tangible support for thousands of families. I hope this effort inspires more partnerships that expand access to the resources people need to live healthier lives.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping arrived in Washington on Wednesday for a three-day trip where him and President Trump will be expected to discuss — among many things — the growing AI race between the U.S. and China.
How much can they actually accomplish?

Grain from Ukraine feeds people all over the world.
But Russia is blocking exports through the Black Sea and is deliberately causing global food insecurity.
The EU is calling for attacks to stop and grain to flow again.
Food must never be used as a weapon of war.
My remarks at our UN side event on the Black Sea ↓
Warmest felicitations to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and the brotherly people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on their National Day.
The Kingdom’s remarkable journey of progress and transformation is a source of pride and admiration not only for the Saudi nation, but also for Pakistan. Under the dynamic and visionary leadership of my dear brother, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia continues to make impressive strides towards greater prosperity, modernization and innovation.
Pakistan takes immense pride in its historic and time-tested brotherhood with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, rooted in faith, mutual trust and an abiding bond between our peoples.
Today, under the patronage of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, this brotherhood is growing into an even stronger strategic partnership, underpinned by our shared commitment to peace, security and the unity of the Muslim Ummah. Together, we have proudly signed the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement and the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement.
On this occasion, I reiterate Pakistan’s strongest condemnation of the recent Houthi attacks against the Kingdom, particularly the reprehensible attempted drone attack on the Holy City of Makkah Al-Mukarramah. Any threat to the sanctity and security of the Haramain Sharifain deeply wounds the sentiments of Muslims across the world. Pakistan stands unwaveringly, shoulder to shoulder, with the Kingdom in safeguarding its sovereignty, security and the sanctity of Islam’s holiest sites.
As we celebrate Saudi National Day, I pray that Pakistan-Saudi Arabia brotherhood continues to grow from strength to strength.
Long live Pakistan-Saudi Arabia brotherhood!

SIX CYBERCRIMINALS EXTRADITED TO THE UNITED STATES.
Operation Riptide sent a message every cybercriminal targeting Americans needs to hear:
There is NO safe harbor.
The FBI and our international partners will identify you. We will locate you. And no matter where in the world you try to hide, we will work to bring you back to the United States to face justice.
Borders will not protect you. Distance will not save you.
We will find you.

Ayodhya के लोगों को Akhilesh Yadav का भरोसा, बोले सरकार बानी तो नुकसान की पूरी भरपाई करेंगे
समाजवादी पार्टी के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष अखिलेश यादव ने अयोध्या के लोगों को लेकर बड़ा बयान दिया है। उन्होंने कहा कि अयोध्या में लोगों ने जो कुछ खोया है, उसकी भरपाई सरकार को करनी चाहिए। अखिलेश यादव ने कहा कि अगर मौजूदा सरकार ऐसा नहीं करती है तो भविष्य में समाजवादी सरकार बनने पर लोगों के नुकसान की भरपाई करने का काम किया जाएगा।
