iRegene Therapeutics Secures Series B+ Financing Following FDA Fast Track Designation for its Flagship Product NouvNeu001

CHENGDU, China, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — iRegene Therapeutics (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. (“iRegene” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company pioneering chemically induced allogeneic cell therapy, announced on September 4th the successful completion of its Series B+ financing round, co-led by Northern Light Venture Capital, Chuangjing Capital, and OneHealth Haihe Capital, along with participation from other investors. In August 2025, NouvNeu001 received Fast Track Designation (FTD) from the U.S. FDA, making it the world’s first allogeneic iPSC-derived cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease to achieve this milestone.

This round builds on a series of sizable financings completed in recent months, bringing iRegene’s total funding to over RMB 300 million (~USD 40M). It makes the largest single financing in China’s iPSC sector in recent years, highlighting the strong confidence of investor in iRegene’s leadership position and long-term strategic vision.

The proceeds will be used to accelerate iRegene’s global clinical development of NouvNeu001 for Parkinson’s disease (PD), and NouvSight001 for retinal degenerative diseases, while also strengthening early-stage R&D, expanding clinical and operational teams, and advancing iRegene’s manufacturing capabilities.

About NouvNeu001

iRegene’s flagship product, NouvNeu001, is the world’s first clinical-stage, iPSC-derived, allogeneic dopaminergic progenitor cell therapy for PD. NouvNeu001 received the China NMPA’s IND clearance to initiate Phase I/II in China in Aug 2023, and received the FDA IND clearance to initiate Phase I in USA in June 2024. In April 2025, iRegene launched a multicenter Phase II clinical trial in China (NCT06167681).

Phase I results demonstrated:

  • Excellent safety and tolerability observed up to 15 months post-transplantation, notably without the use of immunosuppressants after the 6th months.
  • PET imaging confirmed long-term engraftment and survival of transplanted cells.
  • Significant clinical efficacy, including marked improvement in MDS-UPDRS Part III motor scores and extended “on-time” duration, underscoring the strong competitiveness.

On August 15, 2025, NouvNeu001 was granted Fast Track Designation (FTD) from the U.S. FDA, becoming the first allogeneic iPSC-derived PD cell therapy worldwide to earn this recognition. This milestone follows the FDA’s Special Exemption (SE) granted in March 2024, further validating iRegene’s clinical data integrity, product quality system, and innovative therapeutic approach.

Wild Turkey Bourbon Reveals New Global Campaign, Proudly Declaring “When You Know It’s Right, Don’t Change a Damn Thing”

New creative from Director Kiku Ohe and GUT New York pays homage to the brand’s unwavering conviction and time-tested recipe

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky., Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a world where trends come and go in the blink of an eye, Wild Turkey, the award-winning Kentucky bourbon brand, is drawing a line with the launch of its new global campaign: “When You Know It’s Right, Don’t Change a Damn Thing.”

These days, there’s always a new version and endless pressure to chase what’s next. But what good is change for change’s sake? While some may call it stubborn, Wild Turkey calls it conviction, and it’s how they’ve been making bourbon for over 100 years. This message is clear throughout the new campaign films, launching globally this month, as an unmistakable line is drawn on the ground. Wild Turkey has been faithful to its recipe for over a century and, with it, has created a legend.

At the heart of the story is an iconic heritage brand helmed by legendary Wild Turkey Master Distiller and Bourbon Hall of Famer Jimmy Russell, who helped save bourbon from a fate worse than death: becoming like everything else. In the 1970s and 1980s, when the industry turned toward lighter spirits, Jimmy refused to bend to fleeting fads and water down his signature Wild Turkey 101 bourbon. He kept making his bourbon the same way, aged longer and full of bold, pre-prohibition flavor. Today, Jimmy is celebrating 71 years with Wild Turkey, as the longest serving master distiller in the spirits industry. He is joined by his son, Master Distiller and Bourbon Hall of Famer Eddie Russell, and grandson, associate master blender Bruce Russell, to carry the recipe of Wild Turkey forward.

The campaign is an homage to the time-honored and the enduring, including classics like Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon, which still has the same signature bold flavor as it did over a century ago. The creative treatment for the campaign films, directed by Kiku Ohe, reflects this message. Featuring a compelling mixed-media approach incorporating film stock (8mm/35/Digital), digital and historical photos and artifacts. Reinforced by memorabilia from Jimmy’s seven decades in the industry – including old notebooks filled with recipes, newspaper clippings, and archival family photos – these pieces illustrate the brand’s rich history, heritage, and philosophy.

“Every bottle of Wild Turkey bourbon tells a story of conviction,” says Raul Gonzalez, Global Managing Director of Whiskey & Rum at Campari Group. “The brand’s steadfast approach is one reason why Wild Turkey is so beloved and respected all over the world today. There’s pride in ordering Wild Turkey bourbon, and we’re excited to bring Jimmy and Wild Turkey’s story to a new generation of fans with this new campaign.”

The campaign features notable cameos from four members of the Russell family including Master Distiller Jimmy Russell, his son Master Distiller Eddie Russell, his grandson Associate Blender Bruce Russell, and Jimmy’s granddaughter and Wild Turkey US Brand Ambassador Joann Street. The films also include bartenders and fans of Wild Turkey from some of the brand’s top global markets including Toure Folkes from New Orleans, US, Sam Russ from Brisbane, Australia and Naoto Ogawa from Tokyo, Japan.

“Wild Turkey is a brand that knows exactly who it is and refuses to compromise,” said Lucas Bongioanni, Chief Creative Officer, GUT New York. “In an era obsessed with innovation and reinvention, it’s rare to find a story that’s about staying true to its origins. We are honored to bring that special kind of bravery to life in a way that feels as bold as the bourbon itself.”

The first new global brand campaign since “Trust Your Spirit” debuted in 2021, “When You Know It’s Right, Don’t Change a Damn Thing” will begin to roll out in global markets in fall 2025, starting with the US, Japan, Australia, and South Korea. The campaign includes a variety of films and bold key visuals to be used across channels, including digital, social, TVC, and print.

ABOUT WILD TURKEY

The distillery for Wild Turkey Bourbon is in Kentucky, situated on a deep limestone shelf on the Kentucky River. The shelf acts as a natural filter and provides the distillery with crystal clear water, vital to making such a high-quality product. Wild Turkey features the legendary father and son Master Distilling team of Jimmy and Eddie Russell, who have over 100 years of collective experience working at the Wild Turkey distillery, and are now joined by the next generation, Associate Blender Bruce Russell.

The famous Wild Turkey brand name first came about back in 1940 when distillery executive Thomas McCarthey took a few warehouse samples on a Wild Turkey hunting trip with a group of friends. The following year, his friends asked him for “some of that Wild Turkey whiskey” and the brand was born.

Wild Turkey is distilled and put into new oak barrels at a much lower ABV than most bourbons. This results in a much richer flavor, as less is cooked out during the production process. Ageing in the highest quality new American oak barrels with the heaviest char available (the Number 4 “alligator” char), imparts a smooth flavor and deep amber color to the whiskey. The barrels are filled at the distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Website: wildturkey.com.

ZeroBounce ONE™ offers a simplified way to access the full ZeroBounce platform at a lower cost.

Previously, 25,000 validation credits cost $175 per month.

Our mission has always been to help businesses land in the inbox, and now we’re giving them more than ever – for less than they were already paying.”

By unifying validation and deliverability into a single subscription, the plan eliminates the need for multiple services, helping businesses improve their email ROI.

Brian Minick, COO of ZeroBounce, added: “Marketers kept telling us deliverability tools felt expensive and fragmented as they had to use separate vendors. ZeroBounce ONE unifies everything into one subscription so businesses don’t have to choose between validation and deliverability – they get both, plus a 15% discount on any additional credits. It’s simple, powerful, and designed to help our customers succeed.”

Wavv, NASA, OpenAI, and Noke Shopping Mall Redefine Retail and Global Entertainment with AI-Generated Music

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Wavv has turned Taipei’s Noke Shopping Mall into the first retail space powered entirely by AI-generated music. The project, launched during the mall’s third anniversary on June 7, 2025, continues to run and has become a landmark experiment in how artificial intelligence can reshape consumer spaces. It builds on Wavv’s earlier collaboration with NASA and OpenAI, where its generative system composed the soundtrack for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse, a performance seen by more than 100 million people worldwide.

At the center of this push is Musica, Wavv’s proprietary music language model. With the largest database of its kind, Musica can adapt sound in real time to patterns such as foot traffic or shifts in customer behavior. The effect is subtle but measurable: according to McKinsey’s 2025 Consumer Experience Report, immersive, technology-driven environments can lift retail sales by as much as 15 percent. Wavv is positioning music not as background, but as an active layer of engagement inside commercial spaces.

The company has already moved beyond shopping malls. Its work with NASA’s Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute produced Ode to the Sun and Moon, a generative score based on astronomical data.

Wavv has also expanded into the advertising and gaming industries, where adaptive sound is emerging as a high-value asset. Chief executive Ivan Linn said Musica is now being deployed in campaigns and game environments, where soundtracks can evolve in real time with consumer sentiment or player actions.

Cultural visibility is rising as well. At the Global Arts Prize, Linn shared the stage with Carolina Herrera, international fashion icon and Kennedy Center honoree; Nirupama Rao, former Foreign Secretary of India; and Roberto Dañino, former Prime Minister of Peru. Their presence alongside Linn underscored how AI-generated music is being recognized not only as a technical breakthrough but also as a creative force worthy of global attention. At the INNOVIT Beauty & Fashion Tech conference, Wavv demonstrated how retailers like Zara and Sephora could use Musica to shape in-store experiences, enhance runway shows and generate adaptive music for campaigns.

One of the biggest questions in generative media is copyright. Wavv has already entered conversations with Sony Music and Universal Music Group, global leaders in music rights, to ensure the system produces music that is copyright-clear.

“The integration of adaptive AI music into retail and entertainment is reshaping environments,” Linn said. “But the biggest commercial opportunity lies in advertising and gaming, where sound is no longer background—it becomes a driver of engagement and growth.”

As Wavv expands, AI-powered music is already spreading into shopping districts, entertainment hubs, digital platforms, and city spaces worldwide. With support from NASA and OpenAI, the line between technology and business is quickly disappearing.
