Brii Bio Presents Cross-Study Analysis of Post-Treatment HBsAg Rebound at APASL 2026

– Participants achieving HBsAg loss with pegylated interferon alfa (PEG-IFNα) ± elebsiran or BRII-179 demonstrated favorable off-treatment clinical outcomes, with most HBsAg rebounds <10 IU/mL and HBV DNA rebound infrequent and not associated with clinically significant ALT elevation. These findings indicate durable posttreatment immunological control, supporting the potential for safe nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) discontinuation in regimens combining PEG-IFNα with novel therapeutic modalities.

– Shorter NRTI consolidation was not associated with higher HBsAg rebound rates, suggesting that shortening or potentially eliminating the NRTI consolidation period may be feasible in these combination regimens.

DURHAM, N.C. and BEIJING, April 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Brii Biosciences Limited  (“Brii Bio,” “Brii,” or the “Company,” stock code: 2137.HK), a biotechnology company developing therapies to improve patient health and choice across diseases with high unmet medical need, presented a cross-study analysis of post-treatment hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) rebound profiles at the 35th Annual Meeting of Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL 2026), taking place from April 22-25, 2026 in Istanbul, Turkey.

This analysis evaluated post-end-of-treatment (EOT) HBsAg rebound in NRTI-experienced participants with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection who achieved HBsAg loss in the Phase 2 ENSURE study or the Phase 2 BRII-179-002 study. The Phase 2 ENSURE study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of combination approaches aimed at improving functional cure outcomes. Cohorts 1-3 evaluate elebsiran in combination with PEG-IFNα compared to PEG-IFNα monotherapy, while Cohort 4 evaluates the potential role of BRII-179 in identifying immunologically responsive patients and improving HBsAg loss rate. BRII-179-002 is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, proof-of-concept Phase 2 study that evaluates BRII-179 as an add-on therapy to PEG-IFNα.

Data from the two studies were pooled to assess the incidence, magnitude and clinical relevance of HBsAg rebound following EOT in participants treated with PEG‑IFNα alone or in combination with elebsiran or BRII‑179. Across studies, participants demonstrated favorable off‑treatment clinical outcomes. All HBsAg rebounds remained below 100 IU/mL with most rebounds remaining below 10 IU/mL. HBV DNA rebound was infrequent and not associated with clinically meaningful alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations following NRTI discontinuation. Together, these results suggest durable post‑treatment immunological control and further support the potential for safe discontinuation of NRTIs in PEG‑IFNα-based combination with novel therapeutic modalities. Notably, shorter NRTI consolidation periods (12 to 20 weeks versus 24 weeks) were not associated with higher HBsAg rebound rates, suggesting that shortening—and potentially eliminating—the NRTI consolidation period may be feasible in future treatment strategies.

“We are encouraged by the growing evidence showing that our novel therapeutic combinations can achieve not only rapid HBsAg loss, but also durable immunological control after treatment withdrawal,” said David Margolis, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Brii Bio. “These findings strengthen our confidence in the potential of BRII‑179 and elebsiran as components of next‑generation HBV cure strategies, and we look forward to additional readouts from our ongoing studies throughout 2026.”

Additional details of the oral presentation are as follows:

Title: Cross-study Analysis of HBsAg Rebound Following Treatments of Elebsiran/BRII-179 in Combination with Peginterferon Alfa

Session/Presentation Type: Oral Presentation Session 58

Date and time: 13:40 – 15:10 on April 25 (UTC+3)

Presenter: Jidong Jia, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Medicine at the Liver Research Centre, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University in Beijing, China

  • Post‑EOT HBsAg rebound was observed in 24 of 55 participants (43.6%) with similar rates during NRTI consolidation (13/55, 23.6%) and after NRTI discontinuation (11/41, 26.8%).
  • Shorter NRTI consolidation was not associated with higher HBsAg rebound rates after NRTI withdrawal, with 15.0% (3/20) of participants receiving 12–20 weeks of NRTI consolidation and 23.8% (5/21) of those receiving 24 weeks experiencing HBsAg rebound by 24 weeks after NRTI discontinuation.
  • The magnitude of HBsAg rebound was limited, with all rebounds <100 IU/mL and 75.0% (18/24) remaining <10 IU/mL. HBV DNA rebound after NRTI discontinuation was infrequent, with >90% (38/41) of participants maintaining HBV DNA

Industry Roundtables: Unlocking Layered Collaboration in AI-Driven Cross-Border Payments and Advancing Financial Inclusion in Emerging Markets

At the same time, Mark Ma and Bryan Jiang were invited to the themed roundtable discussions, where they shared insights drawn from industry practice and outlined new approaches to aligning fintech innovation with the global financial system.

At the roundtable on “Fintech and Banks,” Mark Ma noted that the global payment system is rapidly shifting from isolated capabilities to a layered, collaborative model. Banks continue to serve as the foundational infrastructure, responsible for clearing networks and liquidity management. Fintech firms like Lianlian, meanwhile, build on top of this foundation to deliver application-layer services for businesses, transforming complex cross-border payment channels into more accessible solutions that support a wider range of practical business scenarios. He also emphasized fintech’s growing role in compliance and value creation. By embedding risk controls and verification processes into technology workflows, fintech companies can act as compliance intermediaries, improving efficiency while filtering risk and enabling banks to operate more effectively at scale. Meanwhile, insights derived from transaction data and business flows allow for more precise evaluation of small and medium-sized businesses, shifting capital allocation from experience-based decisions to data-driven approaches and improving access to financial services.

At the roundtable titled “Different Worlds, Shared Challenges: Bridging Emerging Markets,” Bryan Jiang pointed out that the core of financial inclusion is shifting from scale of coverage to practical usability in everyday financial activity. The ability to serve underserved segments such as small and micro merchants and overseas workers in a sustained and reliable manner ultimately depends on continuous improvements in product design and operational capabilities. Using emerging markets as an example, Jiang explained that small and medium-sized businesses in these regions often face challenges such as difficult account setup, complex cross-border collections, high foreign exchange costs, and multi-layered tax requirements. Many existing solutions still follow traditional business-focused models, resulting in cumbersome KYB processes and lengthy review cycles that are misaligned with the asset-light, high-frequency, fast-turnover nature of these businesses. In response, Lianlian has lowered barriers to fund flows by offering local collection accounts, optimizing foreign exchange mechanisms, and improving settlement efficiency. The company has also restructured account architecture, streamlined review processes, and enhanced fund visibility, creating a more seamless and intuitive user experience that better aligns financial services with its clients’ business operations and day-to-day activities.

As digital technologies increasingly integrate with the real economy, innovations in AI and blockchain are reshaping the foundations of global financial services. Lianlian DigiTech has long invested in AI capabilities, global compliance, and the growth of its international service network. Its broad licensing coverage, regulatory track record, localized service capabilities, and technical reliability have earned the trust of regulators, customers, and partners worldwide.

Looking ahead, Lianlian DigiTech will continue to build on its cross-border expertise and compliance experience to further develop its AI capabilities and deepen collaboration with global partners. The company aims to extend its role beyond payment network services into more integrated financial infrastructure solutions. Lianlian DigiTech remains committed to serving as a trusted platform for global financial transactions in an increasingly digital environment, enabling businesses and individuals worldwide to access faster, more efficient, and more seamless cross-border financial services.

CHANDO Launches 7th Generation Rejuvenation Repair Essence

The Brand Sets a New Benchmark for Chinese Skincare

SHANGHAI, April 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Late nights, revenge bedtime procrastination, and back-to-back social plans on weekends — these modern habits are taking a visible toll on skin. New data shows that the average age at which early signs of aging first appear in China has shifted earlier by about four years between 2018 and 2023. Researchers point to a clear link between premature wrinkles and today’s high-stress, sleep-deprived lifestyles[1]

CHANDO unveils the seventh-generation Rejuvenation Repairing Essence.
CHANDO unveils the seventh-generation Rejuvenation Repairing Essence.

On April 23, the second China Anti-Fatigue-Aging Tech Forum and the launch of CHANDO’s seventh-generation Rejuvenation Repairing Essence (Xiao Zi Ping) concluded at TANK Shanghai. The event brought together experts from various fields to discuss skin aging and rejuvenation in the context of Chinese consumers’ skincare needs. In the spotlight: the upgraded seventh-generation version of CHANDO‘s signature fatigue-related anti-aging essence. Powered by HiMurchaSin® Yeast, the formula helps consumers achieve better skincare results without changing their daily routines. The launch also featured a surprise appearance by AI-native virtual singer YURI, along with other celebrities. Modern light-and-shadow artistry blended with Himalayan-inspired natural elements, delivering a distinctly tech-forward aesthetic. 

Scientists Examine the Drivers of Accelerated Skin Aging
Fast-paced lives are accelerating skin aging among Chinese consumers. According to a study reported by China National Radio (CNR), a research team led by Wang Sijia at the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences, analyzed facial skin aging and related lifestyle factors using large-scale, multi-time-point data from the Chinese population. The study found that the inflection point for overall wrinkle aging in the Chinese population arrived about four years earlier in 2023 than in 2018 — signaling a pattern of earlier onset, faster progression, and a shortened aging cycle[1]. The research also noted declining sleep duration and younger ages for starting smoking and drinking, pointing to a rise in fatigue-driven lifestyles. Multiple fatigue-related lifestyle factors were closely tied to earlier appearance of facial wrinkles.

In fact, skin aging from a fatigue-driven lifestyle is a biological process that can be scientifically addressed. Deng Haiteng, a tenured professor at Tsinghua University School of Life Sciences, explained the science behind modulating the skin’s aging process. According to Deng, life stress can impair mitochondria — the energy factories inside human cells. The key to rejuvenating skin, he said, is activating the cellular energy switch: PGC1α, a core target for mitochondrial regeneration. 

From Lab to Vanity: How a Chinese-Made Ingredient Became the Core of a New Anti-Aging Formula
To address this biological mechanism, the R&D team led by Dr. Zou Yue, Vice President and Chief Scientist of CHANDO Group, used AI-powered computational biology to screen and engineer over 2.8 million yeast proteins. The result was HiMurchaSin® Ultra Anti-Peptide, a recently developed proprietary ingredient. According to CHANDO, HiMurchaSin® Ultra Anti-Peptide penetrates skin 8.5 times better than traditional tetrapeptides[2]. It targets PGC1α — the mitochondrial energy switch, increasing its expression by 1.7x[3]. This supports cellular energy production, promotes cell and collagen renewal, and helps improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Zheng Chunying, Chairman and President of CHANDO Group, said, “Core ingredients are the heart of beauty in cosmetics.” He stressed that CHANDO has always prioritized in-house R&D and manufacturing. The goal is to control costs, efficiency, and supply stability — so Chinese consumers can access products that match or exceed global top-tier standards at more affordable prices. “We want to make advanced skincare technology accessible to everyone,” Zheng said.

CHANDO‘s New Rejuvenation Repairing Essence Delivers Visible Results: Up to 5 Years Younger-Looking Skin in 8 Weeks[4] Built on technological innovation and ingredient-driven beauty, CHANDO officially unveiled the seventh generation of its Rejuvenation Repairing Essence. The new serum offers comprehensive upgrades in efficacy, user experience, and packaging.

Formula Highlights:

  • Contains the world’s first HiMurchaSin® Ultra Anti-Peptide
  • Features 2x concentrated HiMurchaSin® (7 million yeast essences per drop)
  • Precisely targets PGC1α, the mitochondrial energy switch, to help restore a more youthful skin appearance
  • Blended with 99.9% L-Ergothioneine and polar probiotic extracts

Key Benefits: Firming, anti-wrinkle, brightening, and repair — all in one bottle. According to CHANDO, the formula targets fatigue-driven aging linked to modern lifestyles. Clinical claim: up to five years younger-looking skin in just eight weeks.

User Experience: The serum has a lightweight, water-like texture that absorbs quickly with no sticky residue. A subtle, calming fragrance helps reduce the sensation of stress and fatigue. The redesigned dropper and reservoir ensure every last drop gets used without waste. Every detail, from efficacy to experience, directly responds to real consumer feedback.

To validate performance, CHANDO partnered with SGS, a third-party testing organization, to conduct the 21-Day Anti-Aging Record real-user test. Participants reported visibly brighter skin, fewer fine lines, and a younger, more radiant complexion after consistent use. For those who frequently stay up late or work long hours, the seventh-generation Rejuvenation Repairing Essence is a targeted solution for fatigue-related skin concerns.

AI Performer and Celebrity Appearances Bring Energy to the Launch Event
The launch of CHANDO Rejuvenation Repairing Essence was conceived as a high-tech, immersive experience, reshaping consumer perceptions of the beauty brand. YURI, the AI-native virtual singer, opened with a science-themed stand-up routine. The virtual performer delivered a sharp, witty breakdown of skincare ingredients, offering a science-based perspective on the new serum. CHANDO’s youth brand ambassador then made a surprise appearance, interacting with the audience and sharing personal experience with the product, embodying the idea of staying energized and looking great despite a busy, stressful lifestyle. From science-led innovation to interactive storytelling, CHANDO revealed a new, more youthful side of Chinese beauty brands — bold, connected, and fun. The message to consumers: a skincare brand can be both results-driven and engaging.

With this technology-driven launch, CHANDO has demonstrated the strength and imagination of a Chinese skincare brand. By harnessing science and technology, the company aims to help consumers achieve a more effective skincare routine without changing their existing lifestyles. The seventh-generation CHANDO Rejuvenation Repairing Essence could well be a compelling solution for addressing visible skin aging in today’s fast-paced urban life.

Rizhao unveils hands-on learning tours for young visitors

RIZHAO, China, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from chinadaily.com.cn:

Just a short trip from South Korea, Rizhao in Shandong province offers sandy shores, mountain trails, and centuries of history for young learners.

With direct ferries from Pyeongtaek, as well as a 1.5-hour flight from Busan or Incheon to Qingdao plus a short drive of about one hour, the city is an accessible option for student travel.

To better serve international groups, the city has developed four specialized “Study Tour” themes that encourage students to learn through hands-on exploration and site-specific activities.

Discovering cultural heritage

Rizhao offers an in-depth exploration of China’s ancient traditions. At the Rizhao Museum, history comes to life through simulated archaeological digs and black pottery workshops. Tiantai Mountain provides insights into ancient solar worship. Complementing these sites, traditional craft sessions allow students to try local skills such as the Liu Family’s craft of making frog-shaped buttons and Wulian cut-pile embroidery.

Exploring science and innovation

Science and technology are central to Rizhao’s educational appeal. The Rizhao Science and Technology Museum features a range of interactive experiments, while those interested in modern industry can observe the scale of heavy manufacturing at Shandong Iron & Steel Group. Students can also explore the basics of aviation by assembling model aircraft at Lanshan Airport.

Investigating ecological lessons

Rizhao’s unique geography serves as a natural laboratory for ecological discovery. At the Wanpingkou Scenic Area, boat trips are paired with essential maritime first-aid training, and students can observe marine ecosystems up close along the coast at Liujia Bay.

Inland, the mountains offer a masterclass in biodiversity; Fulai Mountain serves as a sanctuary for ancient flora, while Wulian and Jiuxian Mountains act as open-air classrooms for geology and botany.

Experiencing rural life

To understand the heartbeat of the region, students are invited into the fields. At the Rizhao Tea Innovation Park, the “living classroom” involves the process of picking and processing tea leaves. Meanwhile, rural tourism hubs like Xishan Lanli provide a window into traditional farming lifestyles, allowing students to participate in seasonal agricultural activities.

With its rich culture, diverse landscapes, and convenient transport links, Rizhao offers students a chance to learn by doing, explore new traditions, and create lasting memories.
