PHC To Exclusively Distribute MaxCyte Cell Engineering Platform In Japan



KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 (Bernama) -- The Biomedical Division of PHC Corporation (PHCbi), a subsidiary of PHC Holdings Corporation (PHCHD), has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with United States-based MaxCyte Inc to bring the company’s advanced ExPERT cell engineering platform to the Japanese market.

The partnership expands PHCbi’s presence in next-generation cell and gene therapy (CGT) technologies and strengthens its commitment to supporting innovation in regenerative medicine and bioproduction.

PHC Corporation Director and PHCbi General Manager, Chikara Takauo said this partnership reinforces its commitment to advancing therapeutic modalities by offering solutions that address quality, cost, and delivery (QCD) challenges in CGT manufacturing.

“We are pleased to add MaxCyte’s ExPERT instruments to our cell culture technology portfolio,” he said in a statement.

As part of the deal, PHCbi will provide sales and service support for MaxCyte’s full suite of electroporation systems, including the ExPERT ATx, STx, GTx, and VLx platforms, along with related consumables such as processing assemblies and electroporation buffers.

The ExPERT line is globally recognised for its high transfection efficiency, scalability, and non-viral delivery method — features that have made it a key enabling technology in more than 70 clinical programmes as of the first quarter of 2025.

In a parallel agreement, SciMed (Asia) Pte Ltd, another PHCHD subsidiary, has also signed an exclusive distribution deal with MaxCyte, launching the ExPERT platform in Singapore in June.

PHCbi’s expanded CGT portfolio also includes recently introduced innovations such as the LiCellMo live-cell metabolic analyser and the upcoming LiCellGrow cell expansion system, both designed to optimise the efficiency and precision of cell culture and monitoring.

Together with MaxCyte’s technology, these offerings aim to provide comprehensive tools for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of immunotherapy, regenerative medicine, and advanced bioproduction.

PHCbi will showcase the ExPERT Platform at the Seventh Regenerative Medicine EXPO Tokyo 2025 in Japan, which will be held at Japan’s Tokyo Big Sight from July 9 to 11.

NETWORK OUTAGES COST GLOBAL FIRMS MILLIONS ANNUALLY - EXPEREO

KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 (Bernama) -- Global businesses are facing significant financial losses due to network instability, with 28 per cent reporting revenue declines of up to US$5 million and another 23 per cent exceeding that figure, according to the latest findings from an IDC InfoBrief commissioned by Expereo. (US$1=RM4.19)

Titled “Enterprise Horizons 2025: Technology Leaders Priorities: Achieving Digital Agility”, the report highlights the mounting toll of network outages or poor performance on enterprise operations, with nearly half (49 per cent) of global organisations re-evaluating their technology infrastructure in response to recent high-profile information technology (IT) disruptions.

As a result, networking and connectivity has emerged as the top investment priority for global businesses over the next 12 months, cited by 43 per cent of respondents, ahead of cybersecurity (38 per cent) and artificial intelligence (AI) (37 per cent).

Expereo Chief Executive Officer, Ben Elms said to drive a sustainable competitive advantage, connectivity is no longer an IT concern; it is a strategic business imperative.

“As organisations adopt new AI solutions, network performance must be prioritised at the same level as cybersecurity and AI, or businesses risk falling behind,” he said in a statement.

Last year, AI led the rankings at 42 per cent, followed by cybersecurity (37 per cent) and networking and connectivity (35 per cent), reflecting a shift in urgency among technology decision-makers.

The study found that 27 per cent of businesses consider inadequate network and connectivity performance a direct threat to growth plans, while 45 per cent said it is limiting their ability to scale data and AI initiatives. Only six per cent of businesses believe their networks are fully equipped to support AI without obstacles.

The report also highlights a widening skills gap, with 41 per cent of organisations struggling to hire or retain cybersecurity professionals, followed closely by networking talent (39 per cent).

In response, 45 per cent of businesses plan to increase reliance on external partners, including vendors and managed service providers, to bridge critical gaps in network capability.

MINERVA BIOTECHNOLOGIES UNVEILS BREAKTHROUGH TO ENHANCE STEM CELL TREATMENTS

KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 (Bernama) -- Minerva Biotechnologies has published a study in the journal PLOS ONE detailing findings that could resolve long-standing debates in the scientific community regarding the role of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in human stem cell differentiation and pluripotency.

The study, titled “The Wnt pathway induces a naïve-like subpopulation in primed stem cells, while NME7AB leads to a homogeneous naïve-like population”, offers new insights into how stem cell states can be more effectively manipulated for therapeutic applications.

“These data represent a major breakthrough for the large-scale, GMP-compliant manufacture of patient-derived MSCs for therapeutic uses.

“This approach will replace the current practice of sourcing MSCs from bone marrow donors, whose profiles are often unknown or unverified,” said its Chief Executive Officer, Dr Cynthia Bamdad in a statement.

Minerva researchers found that activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, in the absence of other growth factors, created two distinct cell populations—naïve OCT4+ XaXa cells surrounded by differentiating OCT4- XaXi cells.

While activation of the β-catenin pathway prior to or during differentiation enhanced outcomes for primed stem cells, it did not affect NME7AB-induced naïve state stem cells.

The study also found that homogeneous populations of naïve stem cells induced by recombinant NME7AB demonstrated superior differentiation potential compared to their primed counterparts.

Notably, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated and expanded in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)-compliant minimal media using NME7AB as the sole growth factor differentiated efficiently into mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

Minerva’s resulting MSCs resisted senescence and showed the ability to differentiate into highly pure populations of chondrocytes, osteoblasts and adipocytes—cell types crucial for the repair or regeneration of cartilage, bone and fat tissues.
