CytoMed Therapeutics Ltd — A Rising Star in Singapore’s Cancer Biotechnology Sector

CytoMed Therapeutics Ltd — A Rising Star in Singapore’s Cancer Biotechnology Sector

In February 2026, The Wall Street Transcript published an exclusive interview with CytoMed Therapeutics Ltd (NASDAQ: GDTC) Chairman Choo Chee Kong. The interview covered the company’s technological approach, clinical trial progress, global strategic expansion — particularly in China and India — financing status, and deep insights into the global biotechnology industry.    1. Company Overview & Core Technology Company Background CytoMed is a clinical-stage biotech spin-off from ASTAR, Singapore’s national scientific research agency. The company focuses on developing affordable cancer therapy using patented allogeneic Gamma Delta T Cells derived from healthy donors. Mission The company aims to address the major limitations of existing cell therapies such as CAR-T, including high treatment costs and lengthy manufacturing timelines. By using blood from healthy donors to manufacture “off-the-shelf” immune cells, the company aims to reduce production costs and enable global distribution. Technological Advantages Safety Gamma Delta T Cells have a lower risk of causing Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD), making them suitable for allogeneic transplantation. Versatility The cells express CARs (Chimeric Antigen Receptors) targeting NKG2D ligands, enabling recognition of multiple cancer types that express stress-related molecules, including Solid tumors & Hematological malignancies.    2. Clinical Trial Progress Singapore ANGELICA Trial Nature of the Trial Ongoing first-in-human clinical trial targeting patients with: Advanced solid tumors Hematological malignancies Progress The trial comprised 12 patients in total, and treatment has been completed for half of the participants (6 patients). Objective To complete the Phase 1 clinical trial and evaluate before embarking on Phase 2 by next year 2027: Safety Efficacy of the CAR-modified version   Malaysia Clinical Trial Strategy CytoMed plans to launch a first-in-human clinical trial for the unmodified version of the therapy, which is expected to be significantly less expensive than the CAR-T version. Collaboration The company is collaborating with Universiti Malaya Hospital and is preparing to submit trial documentation to regulators and start by this year 2026. 3. Strategic Expansion & Acquisitions Acquisition of TC BioPharm (UK) Through this acquisition, CytoMed obtained feeder-free manufacturing technology, solving logistical challenges associated with cross-border transportation of specialized feeder cells and strengthening its cancer therapy platform.   Acquisition of Longevity Bank (Malaysia) Background In mid-2024, CytoMed acquired a Malaysian cord blood bank that had entered liquidation due to the impact of the pandemic. The bank had approximately 12,000 customers. Strategic Purpose The acquisition provides access to cord blood resources for the development of Natural Killer (NK) Cell therapies from pristine cord blood. NK cells have potential applications in: Anti-aging Elimination of senescent cells This acquisition also broadens the company’s therapeutic pipeline.    4. Global Market Strategy: Focus on China & India China (Key Strategic Focus) Policy Opportunity CytoMed is closely monitoring China’s “Directive 818,” which allows hospitals conducting investigator-initiated trials (IITs) to charge patients, thereby helping subsidize biotechnology companies’ R&D and manufacturing costs. Competitive Advantage Compared with the capital-intensive “cash-burning” model commonly seen in Western biotech companies, the Chinese model is viewed as more sustainable. China’s Government-backed biotech parks, Pragmatic regulatory policies & Strong venture capital ecosystem have made the country highly attractive for biotechnology development. Market Potential China has a massive cancer patient population and  regulatory flexibility for compassionate-use style commercialization making it a critical strategic market for CytoMed.   India As one of the world’s two largest population centres, India is also a major target market for the company.   United States Although CytoMed collaborates with MD Anderson Cancer Center — where animal studies showed effectiveness against AML — the company currently does not prioritize the U.S. market due to the long time and extremely high cost of clinical trials.    5. Financial Position & Industry Perspectives Financial Status The company raised only USD 8 million during its 2023 IPO due to difficult biotech market conditions at the time. However, management has maintained disciplined spending while seeking partners to co-develop its proprietary allogeneic cancer technologies. View on the “Biotech Winter” The Chairman believes the biotech industry is currently experiencing a “winter” caused by: Excessively high valuations during the pandemic era SPAC-related speculation Significant investor losses Tightening capital markets The company also faces: Heavy short-selling pressure Interference from day traders Strategic Pivot To survive the difficult funding environment, CytoMed is shifting toward closer collaboration with hospitals to provide treatments for “no-option” patients. The company benefits from low cost infrastructure in Southeast Asia and aims to: Attract international medical tourists Leverage Malaysia’s “Medical Tourism Year 2026” Generate revenue while simultaneously collecting clinical data    6. Regulatory Advocacy Compassionate Use CytoMed advocates for regulators to adopt a more flexible approach for terminal patients who have exhausted all available treatment options, allowing access to new cell therapies. East-West Differences The Chairman noted that Eastern societies, particularly in Southeast Asia, generally have less aggressive litigation cultures compared with Western countries such as the United States. This creates a more favourable environment for Compassionate Use programs, allowing terminal patients to try innovative therapies when conventional options have failed.   Conclusion The interview highlights CytoMed’s unique “low-cost survival strategy” within the highly expensive biotechnology sector. By leveraging: Southeast Asia’s lower manufacturing and labour costs Strategic hospital partnerships China’s “Directive 818” policy framework the company has identified a pragmatic commercialization pathway during the ongoing biotech capital winter. CytoMed’s approach demonstrates not only technological ambition, but also strong strategic insight into the evolving global biotechnology landscape.   Media Contact: Media Relations CytoMed Therapeutics Ltd Singapore https://www.cytomed.sg/

Best Places to Buy Hololive Booster Boxes Online in 2026

Delightful TCG enters 2026 as the specialist destination for Hololive Curious Universe booster boxes, stocking the English HBP04E release ahead of mainstream retail catch-up. United States, 21st May 2026 — Delightful TCG, a Shopify-based specialty retailer focused on Japanese Pokémon, Digimon, and Hololive trading card games, today released its ranking of the 7 best online destinations for Hololive booster boxes in 2026 — a category-specific list built to help collectors and players source sealed product at competitive prices without navigating grey-market risk.The Hololive Card Game, produced under the WeissStauss imprint, has crossed from niche Japanese import into a globally traded collectible in under two years. English-language sets including HBP04E have driven accelerated demand among both VTuber fans and TCG players, pushing sealed booster boxes onto the same resale platforms that host Pokémon and One Piece product. Retailers that stock Japanese imports alongside English releases — and apply consistent grading and authentication standards — are pulling ahead of general-purpose marketplaces. For a closer look at the current English Hololive catalogue and Glory of Team Rocket cross-category inventory, Delightful TCG's product pages reflect live stock levels."The Hololive TCG audience is not a casual one," a Delightful TCG spokesperson said. “These buyers know the difference between a genuine first-print HBP04E box and a restock. They want confirmed allocation, accurate condition descriptions, and a seller who treats a $120 box with the same care as a PSA 10 single. That's the standard we hold ourselves to.”The 2026 List: Best Places to Buy Hololive Booster Boxes OnlineDelightful TCGDelightful TCG's Hololive Curious Universe Booster Box (English HBP04E) is the anchor listing for buyers seeking sealed English Hololive product from a verified specialist. Delightful TCG stocks both Japanese and English Hololive sets alongside Pokémon and Digimon, meaning the storefront is purpose-built for the TCG collector — not a generalist liquidator that happened to acquire Hololive inventory. Orders ship with protective outer packaging as standard, and the store's Shopify infrastructure means buyers get real-time stock status rather than discovering an out-of-stock after checkout. Delightful TCG's focus on authentication — evidenced by its PSA 10 graded singles inventory — signals a seller that applies collector-grade handling to sealed product as well as slabs. For buyers who want the English HBP04E box from a retailer that will still be operating when the next set drops, Delightful TCG is the consistent choice in 2026.TCGplayerFounded in 2008 and acquired by eBay in 2022, TCGplayer is the largest English-language TCG marketplace by single-card volume. Hololive booster box availability is dependent on third-party seller listings; pricing and condition consistency varies by seller. eBayeBay remains the highest-traffic secondary market for sealed TCG product globally. Hololive boxes appear regularly, but buyers must filter for domestic vs. import listings and verify seller feedback carefully to avoid counterfeit or resealed product. Troll and ToadTroll and Toad, based in Arkansas and operating since 1997, carries a wide range of sealed TCG product across multiple games. Their Hololive stock is intermittent; they are better known for deep back-catalogue Pokémon singles inventory. Card CavernCard Cavern is a US-based specialty TCG retailer with a focus on sealed Pokémon product. Their crossover into Hololive is growing, and they are known among collectors for transparent stock counts and competitive box pricing. CardmarketCardmarket, headquartered in Berlin and operating since 2007, is the dominant TCG marketplace in Europe. Hololive product is listed by third-party European sellers, making it useful for buyers in the EU seeking to avoid international shipping costs. WhatnotWhatnot is a US live-shopping platform that hosts TCG breaks and sealed product auctions. Hololive booster boxes appear in livestream breaks with some frequency; pricing is auction-driven and can swing significantly from session to session.Why Delightful TCG Leads This Year's ListDelightful TCG's position at #1 rests on three criteria that matter specifically to the Hololive buyer segment in 2026: category specificity, product handling, and stock integrity.Unlike general marketplaces where Hololive boxes sit next to sports cards and video games, Delightful TCG is built around Japanese TCGs as its primary vertical. That focus shows in the catalogue — English and Japanese Hololive sets are stocked alongside Pokémon and Digimon, not as an afterthought. A buyer purchasing an HBP04E box from Delightful TCG is buying from a store whose entire sourcing infrastructure is oriented toward this product type."When we list a sealed booster box, it's handled the same way as a PSA 10 slab," the Delightful TCG spokesperson said. "Protective outer packaging, accurate condition notes, and honest stock counts. We don't list product we don't have."The store's graded singles inventory — including PSA 10 Japanese Pokémon cards — provides an independently verifiable signal of authentication standards. Sellers who handle graded cards correctly tend to handle sealed product correctly. That correlation is the fastest proxy a collector has for evaluating a new-to-them online TCG retailer. What Unites This Year's ListEvery destination on this list meets three baseline criteria that define a credible Hololive booster box source in 2026:Verifiable seller identity — each entry is either a registered business entity or a platform with documented seller verification. Anonymous drop-ship listings are excluded.Sealed product handling standards — all seven sources have public feedback or business history demonstrating that sealed boxes arrive without pack-searching or re-taping damage.Stock transparency — each source offers buyers a mechanism to confirm actual availability before payment, whether through live inventory systems, platform seller ratings, or direct pre-order communication.Delightful TCG satisfies all three at the storefront level — the authentication infrastructure applies to every order, not just graded singles.How the List Was CompiledThis list reflects the current Hololive booster box retail landscape as of mid-2026, drawing on platform history, seller verification practices, and category specialization. Both Delightful TCG and established competitors are included to represent the actual range of options available to collectors. No entry was paid for placement. Product #1 reflects the editors' assessment of which source best serves the Hololive TCG buyer specifically — not the largest platform by total volume.About Delightful TCGDelightful TCG is a specialist online trading card game retailer operating on Shopify, with a catalogue focused on Japanese Pokémon, Digimon, and Hololive sealed product and singles. The store stocks English and Japanese Hololive sets including the Curious Universe Booster Box (HBP04E), Pokémon graded singles up to PSA 10, and accessories including Dragon Shield card sleeves. Delightful TCG applies collector-grade handling and packaging standards across all orders — sealed booster boxes and graded slabs alike. The store's inventory reflects live stock levels, and listings are accurate to current allocation. Delightful TCG serves collectors and players in Australia and ships internationally.

LingSense Bio Debuts in Silicon Valley With Advanced CGM & Wearable Dynamic Blood Pressure Technology

While the global digital health industry remains focused on specification-driven competition and fragmented use cases, LingSense Bio, a rising Chinese medtech innovator, chose Silicon Valley as the stage to present its answer.At the "BEYOND SLEEP: THE STAREEP PREMIERE" global launch event, LingSense Bio, official medical health partner of smart sleep brand Stareep, made its international debut, introducing a comprehensive, closed-loop health management solution that integrates hardware, software, and AI services. This innovation aims to redefine healthcare standards for billions of chronic disease patients worldwide.LingSense Bio’s wearable product lineup made a stunning debutThe LingSense Bio Ecosystem Ushers in an All in One AI Era of Seamless MonitoringWith the global chronic disease management market expanding rapidly into a trillion-dollar industry, Faris Li, Head of Product at LingSense Bio, delivered a keynote speech titled "Redefining Health Monitoring with Healthcare AI Wearables." His assessment was direct: "Hardware alone cannot solve the challenges of chronic disease management. Without AI-driven intervention, health data is just a pile of numbers."Faris highlighted that while over 626 million people suffer from cardiovascular diseases and 830 million live with diabetes globally, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) penetration among type 2 diabetes patients remains below 10%. Furthermore, dynamic blood pressure monitoring has long been constrained by traditional cuff-based devices. "Patients need unobtrusive, continuous, and precise monitoring, not fragmented occasional readings," Faris emphasized. The future of medical-grade wearables, he noted, lies in two key trends: multi-parameter "All-in-One" integration and deep AI embedding from edge to platform.To address these needs, LingSense Bio has developed a product matrix. Faris Li showcased two groundbreaking core hardware innovations:Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): Boasting an industry-leading MARD (Mean Absolute Relative Difference) of under 8.0%, rivaling top-tier global brands.Wearable dynamic Blood Pressure Monitor (dBP): The world’s first wearable dBP powered by Tonoarteriography (TAG) technology, developed by Professor Yuan-Ting Zhang’s team, delivering medical-grade continuous blood pressure tracking.LingSense Bio also introduced LingWatch Pro, a smart watch with dynamic blood pressure monitoring; LingRing Nexus R1, a smart ring integrating non-invasive blood glucose trend monitoring, PPG, blood oxygen, temperature, and heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring;  and LingCare SpringMini, a portable oxygen concentrator designed to provide stable oxygen supply at altitudes of up to 6,000 meters.These devices function as specialized physiological sensors that stream data into the LingSense Chronic Disease Management Platform, forming a closed-loop ecosystem covering glucose, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and ECG.Faris Li delivered a keynote speech titled "Redefining Health Monitoring with Healthcare AI Wearables."Professor Yuan-Ting Zhang: Three Decades of Cuffless Innovation Reach Industrial Standard MomentAt the event, Professor Yuan-Ting Zhang, a Fellow of the International Academy for Medical and Biological Engineering, delivered a presentation titled "AI-Empowered Tonoarteriography for Digital Cardiovascular Health." With over 30 years of pioneering research in cuffless blood pressure monitoring, Academician Zhang shared clinical insights and engineering philosophies that underscore the team's forward-looking approach to digital cardiovascular health.Professor Zhang pointed out that traditional blood pressure monitoring fails to capture critical nocturnal data. Clinical follow-ups from the Dublin Hypertension Clinic show that nighttime hypertension is highly correlated with a 5-year risk of cardiovascular mortality, and increased blood pressure variability serves as an independent warning sign. "However, traditional cuff-based devices cannot frequently inflate while a patient is sleeping without disrupting their rest," Professor Zhang noted, highlighting the necessity of cuffless wearable technology. The deep learning models developed by his team for systolic and diastolic measurements have already achieved Grade A performance under IEEE, AAMI, and BHS standards.Professor Yuan-Ting Zhang delivered a presentation titled "AI-Empowered Tonoarteriography for Digital Cardiovascular Health."The "dBP" solution represents a new era of 24/7 health management. By fusing physiological sensing, intelligent algorithms, and continuous data analysis, it offers a natural, low-burden monitoring experience. "The dBP focuses on long-term health trends rather than isolated readings," Professor Zhang explained. "By analyzing continuous data streams, the system can provide valuable clinical insights for diagnosing masked hypertension, nocturnal anomalies, and evaluating chronic disease risks."Notably, Daniel Franklin, an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, traveled to Silicon Valley as a specially invited international guest for the event. He participated in a session themed "Technology & Healthy Sleep," where he engaged in an in-depth academic dialogue with fellow attendees. Known for his work in bio-integrated electronics and soft-matter photonics, Franklin offered an independent, clinically informed perspective on the event’s most anticipated innovation, the wearable dynamic blood pressure (dBP) monitoring technology.Daniel Franklin participated in a session themed "Technology & Healthy Sleep" and shared in-depth academic insightsData from LingSense Bio’s wearable product matrix, including CGM readings, ambulatory blood pressure data, blood oxygen saturation, and ECG signals, will be synchronized in real time to the LingSense Chronic Disease Management Platform. Built on LingSense Bio’s self-developed, medical-grade AI large model, the platform analyzes continuous health data and identifies potential risk patterns. It further incorporates Dr. PAI (Personalized AI Doctor), the world’s first hypertension intelligent management platform that combines a wearable dynamic blood pressure monitoring device, an AI health assistant avatar, and a large language model, developed by the team led by Professor Zhang. Together, they deliver a closed-loop experience spanning AI-powered consultation, health assessment, blood pressure pattern recognition, and personalized health management recommendations.In January 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially released the draft guidance titled "Cuffless Non-invasive Blood Pressure Measuring Devices – Clinical Performance Testing and Evaluation," marking a long-awaited standard for the industrialization of a technology nearly three decades in the making. Professor Zhang’s team has been deeply involved in the development of both the FDA draft guidance and the relevant IEEE standard; the IEEE standard led by his team has already been adopted by the FDA as a reference. "The world is embracing this standard, and LingSense is ready to be tested," Professor Zhang said.A China-Born Solution for Global StandardsAs the Silicon Valley sun cast its glow over Stanford, LingSense Bio’s brand logo lit up across the giant screen. Without complicated regulatory language or excessive marketing rhetoric, LingSense had already delivered its message: connecting China's precision with the world's broader healthcare needs.From CGM systems with an MARD below 8.0% to the medical-grade continuous wearable blood pressure monitor dBP, LingSense Bio is challenging a market long dominated by industry giants like Dexcom and Abbott. But for chronic disease patients around the world, the most meaningful takeaway from this launch may be what LingSense Bio President Zhifeng Peng put most simply: "Whether you live in a major city or a remote village, expert-level personal healthcare should not be a privilege." This China-born solution, making its debut in Silicon Valley, is now accelerating onto the global stage. Media Contact Organization: LingSense Bio (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd.

Mobile Exhibition Brings Truth About Drugs Prevention to Dublin

Mobile Exhibition Brings Truth About Drugs Prevention to Dublin

Drug education initiative supported by the Church of Scientology opens its 2026 Dublin activities at the Connect Multicultural Festival in Blanchardstown Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 21st May 2026 — A mobile exhibition dedicated to drug education and prevention was launched in Dublin as part of the 2026 activities of The Truth About Drugs, a secular educational campaign supported by the Church of Scientology and Scientologists.The exhibition, first reported by GNN24x7 Ireland, opened during the Connect Multicultural Festival, held at Millennium Park in Blanchardstown. The Fingal community celebration brought together families, cultural groups and residents through music, food, art and public activities, offering a visible setting for the prevention message.The mobile exhibit presented simple, factual information on the effects of drugs, with free educational materials intended to help people make informed decisions. Volunteers provided booklets and answered questions from visitors, many of whom stopped to learn more about drug prevention in a public and accessible format.The Dublin initiative forms part of the international Truth About Drugs campaign, supported by the Church of Scientology and inspired by the words of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard: “The single most destructive element present in our culture is drugs.” Through the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, the campaign makes educational booklets, audiovisual materials and prevention resources available to schools, community organisations and public groups.The Church of Scientology describes the campaign as part of its wider social betterment work, with drug prevention education presented as a practical contribution to communities. Its background is also set out in the Church’s information on Creating a Drug-Free World, which links the initiative to decades of educational activity by Scientologists.The subject remains of clear public relevance in Ireland. The Health Research Board reported that 354 drug poisoning deaths were recorded in Ireland in 2021. Its findings identified opioids, benzodiazepines and antidepressants as the most common drug groups implicated in poisoning deaths overall, while cocaine and heroin were among the most common illicit drugs involved.Against that background, local volunteers said the Dublin exhibition was designed to contribute to prevention through education, not alarmism. Its emphasis was on understandable information, early awareness and personal responsibility, particularly in communities where families and young people are seeking clear, non-technical resources.Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said the Dublin event reflected a practical approach to civic responsibility:“Drug prevention is not only a health question; it is also a question of human dignity, education and community resilience,” said Arjona. “Across Europe, societies are strongest when citizens, families, schools and community groups work together to give young people truthful information before harm occurs. This is the spirit behind the Church of Scientology’s support for The Truth About Drugs campaign.”The Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin has previously supported community-based educational and social betterment initiatives, including drug prevention, human rights education and volunteer activities. The Dublin mobile exhibition continues that local work by placing educational material directly in public spaces where people naturally gather.The Truth About Drugs campaign is presented as a secular initiative. Its materials are used internationally by volunteers and community partners seeking to address drug abuse through prevention and factual education. The campaign’s public materials describe its purpose as empowering young people and adults with factual information about drugs so they can make informed choices.The Dublin exhibition also connected with the broader civic spirit of the Connect Multicultural Festival. In a setting designed to celebrate diversity and shared community life, the prevention message was framed as a contribution to safer neighbourhoods and stronger social cooperation.Organisers said the mobile exhibition will continue to serve as a practical platform for public education during 2026, bringing materials to locations where community engagement can help make prevention more visible, accessible and personal.The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present across the European continent. Scientology Europe reports a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support, inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.Within Europe’s diverse national frameworks for religion, the Church’s recognitions continue to expand, with administrative and judicial authorities in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Slovakia and others, as well as the European Court of Human Rights, having addressed and acknowledged Scientology communities as protected by the national and international provisions of Freedom of Religion or belief.
