Harbin Asian Winter Games creates beautiful and unforgettable memories of ice and snow

BEIJING, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from People’s Daily:

The ongoing 9th Asian Winter Games held in Harbin, northeast China’s Heilongjiang province, themed “Dream of Winter, Love Among Asia,” embodies the shared aspiration of the Asian people for peace, development and friendship.

Ahead of the opening ceremony of the Games, Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed a welcoming banquet, during which he called on Asia to uphold the shared dream for tranquility and harmony, pursue the shared aspiration for prosperity and development, and fulfill the shared desire for friendship and affinity. His remarks reaffirmed China’s sincerity and commitment to promoting peace, development, and friendship.

“Light up Asia, light up the stars, with the beating of our hearts… Light up Asia, hold our hands high, together we form a bond that’s tight…”

These lyrics of the theme song “Light Up Asia” reflect the Asian people’s shared aspiration of using sports to promote peace, unity, and inclusiveness.

President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach praised China for advocating and practicing the concepts of unity, cooperation, equality and respect, and upholding multilateralism. He expressed the confidence that China will continue to achieve greater accomplishments and make greater contributions to world peace, development, and progress.

Every snowflake is unique, and every civilization is distinctive. All civilizations are rooted in their unique cultural environment. Each embodies the wisdom and vision of a country or nation, and each is valuable for being uniquely its own.

The opening ceremony of the 9th Asian Winter Games showcased Asia’s diverse traditions through dancers clad in the traditional attires of various Asian countries, creating a vibrant picture of beauty in diversity and shared prosperity. At the Harbin Ice and Snow World Park, ice sculptures of iconic landscapes in Asian countries, such as China’s Temple of Heaven, India’s Taj Mahal, and Singapore’s Merlion, stood side by side.

All of these have demonstrated Asian culture that is inclusive, vibrant and always keen to learn from others. As the Asian winter sports athletes chase their dreams in Harbin, they are also strengthening their friendships and writing a new chapter of unity and solidarity in Asia.

Supitr Samahito, vice president of the Thai Olympic Committee, said that the Asian Winter Games is not just a sporting event but also a unique opportunity for Asian countries to showcase their cultures and deepen mutual understanding.

Xi once said, “Asian countries are just like a cluster of bright lanterns. Only when we link them together, can we light up the night sky in our continent.”

China is dedicated to presenting a splendid winter sports spectacle to the world, creating beautiful and unforgettable memories of ice and snow for all countries across the globe.

Restore Vision Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase I/II Clinical Trial of RV-001 for Gene-Agnostic Retinitis Pigmentosa

  • The first optogenetic “Chimeric Rhodopsin” gene therapy tested in humans.
  • RV-001 starting dose was generally well tolerated in this open-label trial.
  • RV-001 a gene-agnostic approach for RP patients.

TOKYO, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Restore Vision Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing gene therapies for retinal disorders, today announced that the first patient in its Phase I/II clinical trial with RV-001 has been dosed at Keio University Hospital. RV-001 utilizes adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors to deliver a unique functional gene encoding “Chimeric Rhodopsin”, a light-driven G-protein activation mechanism to re-establish light activation in retinal interneurons. The goal is to expand light sensitivity to retinal interneurons via an intravitreal injection of RV-001. This milestone marks the initiation of the world’s first clinical trial of optogenetic gene therapy, which leverages a proprietary “Chimeric Rhodopsin” for patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). “Over 2 million people worldwide suffer photoreceptor loss in retinitis pigmentosa, resulting in severe vision loss and eventual blindness” said, CEO and Ophthalmologist Yusaku Katada, MD, PhD. “Our “chimeric rhodopsin” approach has broad potential to alter light sensitivity across multiple subtypes of RP patients.[1] We are continuing to advance the Phase I/II trial to assess safety, light-activation and light-sensitivity in these patients, post-administration of our lead gene therapy product RV-001.”

Phase I/II Safety, Tolerability, and Exploratory Efficacy Trial Highlights

  • Patient Criteria: Participants with advanced RP, agnostic to genotype, and characterized by severe vision loss, no- to limited vision.
  • Safety and Efficacy: In addition to safety, exploratory efficacy endpoints include improvements in light sensitivity and visual function.

Connecting Innovation, Academia, and Investment 

Restore Vision, Inc., a spin-out startup from Keio University, bridges cutting-edge academic innovation with entrepreneurial application to drive progress in retinal therapies. Developed through collaborations with Keio University School of Medicine and Nagoya Institute of Technology, RV-001’s optogenetic technology addresses the limitations of traditional approaches by combining high light sensitivity with a unique G-protein activation mechanism.[2],[3] This groundbreaking technology has the potential to be expanded to other retinal diseases, paving the way for broader applications in vision restoration. The Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) and other academic grants, with key contributions from Keio University and Nagoya Institute of Technology, supported RV-001 development.

About Restore Vision

Restore Vision Inc., a clinical-stage gene therapy company, specializes in developing transformative gene therapies for inherited retinal disorders. By integrating academic excellence with entrepreneurial vision, the company is committed to pioneering treatments that address critical unmet medical needs and improve patient outcomes worldwide.
