JINCHANG, China, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On November 18, with the completion of power supply renovation for the last 521 households in Phase II of Yongdian Huayuan Community in Hexibao Town, Yongchang County, Jinchang City, Gansu Province, all residential communities in Jinchang have officially achieved direct grid supply. This marks the full completion of the “Four Direct Services” management reform, covering direct power supply, direct meter reading, direct fee collection, and direct customer service.
A non-direct grid supply community refers to a residential area where property management or other intermediate parties are responsible for power supply management and fee collection. For a long time, such communities have generally faced problems such as delayed services and slow fault response. Since 2024, State Grid Gansu Jinchang Power Supply Company has listed the renovation of non-direct supply communities as its top livelihood project. Adhering to the principle of “renovating all that should be renovated and formulating one plan for one community”, the company has invested a total of 5.8542 million yuan (approximately $816,000) in renovation and advanced the implementation through coordinated collaboration among multiple departments including marketing and equipment management.
During the renovation process, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company has established a linkage mechanism of “government leadership and enterprise implementation”. It has urged relevant government departments to issue standards for power supply facilities in newly-built communities, fundamentally preventing the emergence of new problems. To ensure seamless service connection, the company has organized employees to take the initiative to visit residents, earnestly listened to their opinions before and after the renovation, and completed the collection of user information through home visits and online notifications. After the renovation, the company’s staff promptly guided residents to use the “Online State Grid” APP to handle business, ensuring that customers’ electricity needs are responded to in a timely manner.
Up to now, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company has completed the acceptance and renovation of 7 non-direct grid supply communities, benefiting 2,137 households.
SHANGHAI and NANJING, China and PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — IASO Biotechnology (“IASO Bio”), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of novel cell therapies and biologics for hematologic malignancies and autoimmune diseases, today announced that the Biologics License Application (BLA) for its independently developed fully human anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy Fucaso (Equecabtagene Autoleucel) has been approved by the Hong Kong Department of Health. The therapy is indicated for adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM) who have received three or more prior lines of therapy, including at least one proteasome inhibitor and one immunomodulatory agent.
This approval marks the first authorization of a China-developed CAR-T cell therapy in Hong Kong (China) and the first China-developed ATMP (Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product) to obtain PIC/S GMP recognition following Hong Kong DoH inspection. PIC/S (The Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme) consists of more than 56 regulatory authorities, including the U.S. FDA and Japan’s PMDA, and is widely regarded as a benchmark for international GMP standards.
The approval was granted under Hong Kong’s “1+” innovative regulatory mechanism, which considers: Prior BLA approval of Fucaso in Mainland China; Clinical evidence from the FUMANBA-1 registrational study (CTR20192510; NCT05066646). The Hong Kong Department of Health conducted an independent review of the submitted quality, nonclinical, clinical, and manufacturing information.
Since November 2024, Fucaso has been accessible in Hong Kong through the Named Patient Programme (NPP). Following this approval, IASO Bio plans to expand its “Manufactured in Nanjing, Supplied Globally” model to support access for patients in additional regions subject to local regulatory requirements.
Ms. Jinhua Zhang, Founder, Chairperson, and CEO of IASO Bio, commented: “This approval in Hong Kong represents an important milestone in our global strategy. We appreciate the rigorous and efficient review conducted by the Hong Kong Department of Health as well as the clarity of the ‘1+’ pathway.

YONGIN, South Korea, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — GC Genome, a leading clinical genomics and liquid biopsy company, announced that its collaborative study with Professor Byeon, Jeong-Sik’s team at Asan Medical Center has been published in The American Journal of Gastroenterology(AJG).
GC Genome applied its proprietary AI-based fragmentomics technology, used in its MCED test, ai-CANCERCH. This study demonstrates the potential for a convenient, alternative to colonoscopy and fecal based screening methods, while enabling early detection of colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas.
Study Overview
A total of 1,677 individuals were enrolled, including: 302 with CRC, 108 with AA
1,267 with normal colonoscopy as healthy or non-cancer controls
The test analyzes cfDNA fragmentomic signatures using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (Lc-WGS) combined with a proprietary AI algorithm, enabling highly sensitive detection of early-stage disease.
Key Findings
CRC sensitivity: 90.4%
Specificity in individuals with normal colonoscopy: 94.7%
Sensitivities by CRC stage : 84.2% (stage I), 85.0% (stage II), 94.4% (stage III), and 100.0% (stage IV)
Sensitivity for T1N0 lesions (eligible for endoscopic resection): 90.0%
Sensitivity for AA: 58.3%
The results remained consistent regardless of: CRC locations (left vs. right colon), age of CRC patients(<60 vs. ≥60), and AA locations
These findings highlight the test’s potential as a reliable cfDNA-based blood test for CRC screening and early prevention.
A GC Genome spokes person stated “Detecting colorectal cancer together with precancerous lesions represents a meaningful advance in prevention. With our fragmentomics technology now validated through publication in a leading gastroenterology journal, GC Genome will continue expanding global clinical collaborations and screening applications.”
About ai-CANCERCH
Launched in September 2023, ai-CANCERCH is an AI-based multi-cancer early detection(MCED) test powered by Lc-WGS. Using just 10 mL of blood, the test detects signals associated with multiple cancers. A major upgrade—expanding from 6 detectable cancers to 10 cancers (colorectal, lung, esophageal, liver, ovarian, pancreatic, biliary, breast, gastric, and head-and-neck)—is planned for January 2026.
