Pilatus Biosciences to Present Research on PLT012 at AACR 2025

Novel Immunometabolism Approach Targets Immune-Cold Solid Tumors

DOVER, Del. and EPALINGES, Switzerland, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pilatus Biosciences, pioneering biologics targeting metabolic checkpoints, will present new research on its lead candidate, PLT012, at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2025 Annual Meeting. The presentations will include an oral symposium by co-founder and Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), Prof. Ping-Chih Ho, and a poster session by Lead Scientist, Dr. Yi-Ru Yu. These efforts highlight PLT012’s potential as a novel therapeutic approach for immune-cold solid tumors. PLT012 is currently in late-stage preclinical development and progressing toward its first-in-human clinical trial.

PLT012 – CD36 blocking antibody leading to tumor microenvironment (TME) reprogramming

Event Participation and Presentations

Pilatus Biosciences will participate at the AACR 2025 Annual Meeting, held April 27-30, 2025, with the following presentations:

  • Oral presentation: Prof. Ping-Chih Ho, co-founder and Chair of the SAB, will present during the Major Symposium SY21 – Immunometabolism and Metabolic Fitness in Tumors. The talk, titled “Reprogramming the Tumor Microenvironment with a Single Punch Our Journey from Bench to Bedside”, is scheduled for April 28, 2025, at 1:15 PM.
  • Poster presentation: Dr. Yi-Ru Yu, Lead Scientist, will present Abstract #6077 in Section 37, on April 29, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The poster will detail PLT012’s efficacy in addressing unmet needs in immune-cold solid tumors.

CEO Statement

“We are pleased to present our latest research at AACR 2025,” said Dr. Raven Lin, CEO of Pilatus Biosciences. “PLT012 reflects a differentiated approach—one that reawakens the immune system by targeting metabolic pathways, with the goal of extending the power of immunotherapy to patients who currently don’t benefit from it.”

“PLT012 has earned FDA Orphan Drug Designation for liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancers. Its ability to reprogram the tumor microenvironment has led us to explore synergistic combinations, including bispecific antibodies (BsAb) and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), in preclinical studies across various solid tumor models, addressing critical unmet needs in oncology.”

About PLT012

PLT012, is a humanized anti-CD36 antibody with a dual mechanism of action (MOA). It simultaneously inhibits immunosuppressive cell populations and enhances effector T cell function. Preclinical studies as a monotherapy have demonstrated its efficacy in both immune-hot and immune-cold tumor models, with a significant increase in GzmB-expressing CD8+ T cells and reductions in intratumoral Tregs and pro-tumorigenic macrophages. Additionally, PLT012 reshapes the exhaustion profile of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells by expanding both progenitor exhausted (Texprog) and terminally-exhausted (Texterm) populations with rejuvenated effector functions, leading to enhanced tumoricidal immunity. These findings suggest that PLT012, functioning as a metabolic regulator, may provide therapeutic benefits in cancer treatment, either as a monotherapy or in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors such as PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors. Other than oncology, the unique MOA as a metabolic regulator also shows the potential of reprogramming the metabolic environment with associated benefits, e.g. liver functional improvement, thus laying the groundwork for targeting a broader spectrum of metabolic and immunological diseases.

About Pilatus Biosciences

Pilatus Biosciences, a U.S./Swiss-based preclinical stage biotechnology company founded in 2022 with origins at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (Lausanne). The company develops first-in-class biologics targeting metabolic checkpoints to reprogram the tumor microenvironment. Supported by the Cancer Research Institute (New York), Pilatus collaborates with leading global cancer research institutions and hospitals. In 2024, the company expanded its R&D capabilities with a new lab in Taiwan, focusing on early clinical development and biomarker discovery.

MEXC Sees 170% Surge in Trading Volume Amid Zero-Fee Campaign

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has reported a notable increase in trading activity following the launch of its Zero-Fee Trading Campaign in the first quarter of 2025. The program aimed to remove fees from particular futures trading pairs while simultaneously boosting user interaction and substantial growth throughout essential platform metrics.

MEXC Sees 170% Surge in Trading Volume Amid Zero-Fee Campaign

During the first three months of the year, the platform witnessed an increase of 17.8% in monthly active traders and a 170.2% surge in trading volume, driven by the introduction of popular trading pairs such as SOL/USDT, HYPE/USDT, and S/USDT. These listings matched user preferences and overall market trends, reinforcing MEXC’s position as a leader in both exchange performance and liquidity depth.

Top Performing Pairs: SOL/USDT and ADA/USDT

The campaign’s most active trading pairs included SOL/USDT together with DOGE/USDT, ADA/USDT, TRUMPOFFICIAL/USDT and SUI/USDT.

SOL/USDT achieved the highest trading volume increase of 185.62%, comprising 19% of total futures trading volume and becoming the leading pair of the quarter. ADA/USDT showed outstanding growth through a 369.44% increase in trading volume accompanied by a 393.05% increase in daily average share, highlighting the effectiveness of zero fees in boosting interest for promising assets.


Market Share Growth: Dominance in Key Trading Pairs

In terms of market share growth, AIXBT/USDT led the rankings with a 331% increase, followed by DOGE/USDT (+283%) and SOL/USDT (+209%). Notably, DOGE/USDT and SOL/USDT achieved the highest market share in their categories on CoinMarketCap, at 30.5% and 30.3%, respectively. ADA/USDT followed with a 20.6% share, securing second place in its category, while HYPE/USDT posted a 165% increase in market share.

  • AIXBT/USDT (+331%)
  • DOGE/USDT (+283%)
  • SOL/USDT (+209%)
  • ADA/USDT (+186%)
  • HYPE/USDT (+165%)


A Breakthrough in Campaign Performance and Exchange Leadership

During Q1 2025, the Zero Trading Fee Campaign established MEXC as a leading force behind market volume and activity for both well-known and up-and-coming tokens. MEXC achieved wider trader participation and increased liquidity by eliminating fees on popular trading pairs.

The campaign’s success is attributed to precise timing, well-chosen trading pairs, and a clear, simplified fee structure — rather than external incentives or large-scale marketing. These results suggest that subtle adjustments to cost structures can have an outsized impact on user engagement and trading dynamics.

MEXC continues to evaluate the results of the initiative and explore further opportunities to enhance user experience in the upcoming quarters.

Bosch partners with X-Motors and CATL to Open the First Bosch Car Service Flagship Store in Indonesia

Innovative Collaboration Model Empowers Chinese Automakers for High-Quality Global Expansion

SHANGHAI, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bosch, a leading global supplier of technology and services, signed a master license agreement for Bosch Car Service in Indonesia with X-Motors, a service provider that enables accelerated globalization for leading automakers.

Bosch Mobility Aftermarket enjoys a high level of market recognition worldwide due to its one-stop solution, combining “Parts, Diagnostics, and Workshop Services”. With X-Motors securing Bosch Car Service’s exclusive franchise rights in Indonesia, X-Motors will leverage its brand influence, advanced technology, and comprehensive after-sales system to establish a premier automotive aftermarket service network in the Indonesian market.

Strengthening Collaboration for Service Upgrades

Earlier, on 18 February 2025, Indonesia’s first Bosch Car Service flagship store opened in Jakarta, jointly launched by both parties. Spanning 4,000 square meters, this flagship store represents a significant strategic move for Bosch Car Service in Indonesia, offering a comprehensive service solution covering everything from vehicle purchase to after-sales maintenance for the passenger car market. In the future, both parties plan to open 120 Bosch Car Service stores across Indonesia, providing one-stop, integrated aftermarket services for mid-to-high-end vehicles. Through this innovative business model, they aim to empower Chinese automakers with new strategies for overseas expansion and offer broader service capabilities. It also marks a key step in X-Motors’ deepening presence in Indonesia.


At the grand opening ceremony, Mr. Zhu Lin, Managing Partner and CEO of Boyuan Capital, the lead investor in X-Motors’ first funding round, delivered a speech. He stated, “This milestone event holds great significance. As the only market-oriented investment platform within the Bosch Group that seeks external financing, we are honored to collaborate with Bosch Car Service and CATL on this important project.”

The newly opened Bosch Car Service flagship store in Jakarta houses both a workshop and an automobile sales service shop. The facility provides a full range of solutions for passenger vehicles, from sales to maintenance and repair services. The workshop has more than 20 workstations, offering professional services such as car detailing, mechanical repairs, and sheet metal spraying and painting to meet the growing demand for premium automotive after-sales services in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the Jakarta flagship store features a dedicated Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) zone for new energy vehicles, which offers maintenance and repair services for power batteries. This innovative initiative not only supports the development of Indonesia’s new energy vehicle industry but also lays the foundation for X-Motors’ future business expansion.

Mr. Zhu further emphasized, “The opening of this new store not only provides customers with a brand-new service facility but also serves as a key driver for progress in Indonesia’s automotive industry. This launch will lay a solid foundation for deeper collaboration in the future, fostering the positive development of Bosch, X-Motors, and Indonesia’s automotive ecosystem. Boyuan Capital will continue to be a strong supporter, helping drive the automotive industry in Indonesia and globally toward a brighter and more innovative future. We look forward to the future expansion and innovation of Bosch Car Service.”

Embracing Industry Transformation and Expanding Global Markets

In recent years, as the global automotive industry undergoes transformation, the demand for high-quality aftermarket services has been rising in international markets. Boyuan Capital has consistently focused on the development of the global smart mobility industry, actively investing in sectors such as new energy vehicles, intelligent driving, and automotive services. The firm remains optimistic about the globalization of the smart mobility sector and will continue supporting outstanding enterprises like X-Motors to drive technological innovation and business model transformation. It is committed to providing capital and resource support for the internationalization of Chinese automakers.

X-Motors’ successful expansion in the Indonesian market is a strategic example of Boyuan Capital’s role in helping Chinese brands go global. This collaboration with Bosch Car Service will further deepen X-Motors’ presence in Southeast Asia and solidify its position as a leading automotive service brand in the region. At the same time, this partnership offers valuable insights for Chinese automakers looking to establish a comprehensive after-sales service network overseas, pioneering new pathways for the industry’s global development.

Looking ahead, Boyuan Capital will continue leveraging its strengths to support more Chinese enterprises in expanding their global presence and advancing the smart mobility industry to a higher-quality stage of development.

NEC Indonesia Shares Environmental and Societal Impact of Planting 6,250 Trees

JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NEC Indonesia has contributed to planting 6,250 trees in Sukaresmi and Sukaharja Villages in the Sukamakmur District, Bogor Regency last December 2022. The planting effort spans an area of 10.5 hectares, demonstrating the company’s dedication to environmental conservation and its ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment.


This program has shown a significant impact on both the environment and the surrounding communities. Based on allometric calculations of the planted tree species, the predicted total carbon emissions these trees can absorb throughout their lifespan amount to 710 tons of CO2 equivalent (CO2eq). This underscores NEC Indonesia’s tangible contribution to mitigating climate change through reforestation.

Moreover, the program also enhances social well-being. With the addition of 10.5 hectares of green space, the surrounding environment becomes cooler and healthier, air quality improves, and water resource management is enhanced. This initiative also provides direct economic benefits to farmers through annual harvests from fruit-bearing trees or income from timber sales.

Joji Yamamoto, President Director of NEC Indonesia, stated, “At NEC Indonesia, we view sustainability not only as a technological innovation but also as a commitment to preserving the environment for future generations. Aligned with NEC 2030Vision, which prioritizes environmental sustainability, we are committed to creating a more sustainable future by applying technology and impactful environmental initiatives. In the long run, we hope this program will support environmental conservation and generate social value for the community.”

Overall, findings from the third monitoring phase indicate that the surviving trees are growing well and are in good health. Timber trees have reached heights ranging from 2.15 to 3.25 meters, with trunk diameters between 2.35 and 4.47 cm. Meanwhile, fruit-bearing trees or Multi-Purpose Tree Species (MPTS) have grown to heights of 1.25 to 2.15 meters, with trunk diameters between 1.53 and 3.05 cm.

The species planted in this program include Teak, Mahogany, and Sengon, along with fruit trees such as avocado, durian, and mango. The diversity of trees species is expected to provide both ecological and economic benefits to the surrounding communities in the long term. Through this program, NEC Indonesia remains committed to supporting sustainability efforts to create a society that lives harmoniously with the earth for the future.
