CuraCell Publishes Third and Final Clinical Report from CytoPLY™ Named-Patient Program, Demonstrating Tumour Responses Across Multiple Difficult-to-Treat Solid Tumours
Stockholm, Sweden - CuraCell TX AB (CuraCell) today announced the publication in Cytotherapy of the third and final scientific report emerging from its CytoPLY™ named-patient treatment program. The latest publication, “Targeting Intratumoral Heterogeneity in Pancreatic Cancer with Sequential TIL Infusions” adds pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) to a growing body of clinical evidence supporting the potential of personalized tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy in heavily pretreated solid tumours.
Together, the three publications summarize clinical observations from named-patient treatments performed using CytoPLY-derived therapies across multiple advanced cancers with limited treatment options.
Across these patients, encouraging clinical activity was observed, including:
• Two complete responses: metastatic prostate cancer (>5 years ongoing remission) and recurrent glioblastoma• Two partial responses: pancreatic cancer and renal cell carcinoma• Additional evidence of biological activity supporting continued development in refractory solid tumours
The publications collectively demonstrate durable anti-tumour activity, long-term immune persistence, and the ability of personalized T-cell therapies to address challenges such as tumour heterogeneity and immune resistance in cancers traditionally considered difficult to treat with immunotherapy.
The latest PDAC publication provides translational evidence that sequential TIL infusions can broaden anti-tumour immune responses and potentially address intratumoral heterogeneity, a major obstacle in pancreatic cancer treatment. The reported patient achieved a partial response accompanied by immunological findings supporting the biological activity of the infused T-cell products.
“These three publications represent an important scientific milestone for CuraCell and provide a unique translational dataset generated from real-world named-patient treatments,” said Lucas Arruda, Chief Scientific Officer and co-author across the studies. “Across prostate cancer, glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer, we consistently observed evidence that transferred T cells can persist, infiltrate tumours, and contribute to clinically meaningful responses. Importantly, the pancreatic cancer study highlights how sequential TIL products may help overcome intratumoral heterogeneity, one of the key barriers limiting treatment success in solid tumours. Together, these findings strengthen the scientific rationale for advancing next-generation personalized cell therapies into broader clinical development.”
Reflecting on the overall experience from the named-patient program, Martin Forster, Board Member and Clinical Advisor, commented:
“While the patient numbers remain limited, the collective experience from the named-patient treatments provide important clinical insights. Across these heavily pretreated patients, we observed evidence of durable disease control and objective responses in tumour types where treatment options are often exhausted. Taken together, these findings support more formalised evaluation of personalised TIL therapies and suggest that meaningful clinical benefit may be achievable even in cancers traditionally considered resistant to immunotherapy.”
Commenting specifically on the patient perspective, Forster added:
“For patients with advanced cancers who have exhausted standard treatment options, even the possibility of durable disease control changes expectations. What stands out in these reports is not only the observation of tumour responses, but the duration of benefit in selected patients. This is ultimately the outcome that matters most - creating opportunities for longer survival and improved quality of life.”
Building on these findings, CuraCell is advancing CytoPLY™ through CC-38, currently being evaluated in an ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial in colorectal and prostate cancer.

The company's sales of electrified models – fully electric and plug-in hybrid models – accounted for 48 per cent of all cars sold during the three-month period. Fully electric cars comprised 23 per cent of all cars sold for the period, and plug-in hybrid models accounted for 25 per cent.
The automotive industry, including the premium segment, continues to face intensifying headwinds across regions which reflected in the sales performance for the three-month period ending May 2026.
Sales in China remain under pressure, as overall industry volumes continue to decline in double-digits for consecutive months. This is due to the highly competitive industry landscape and challenging macro environment.
In the US, there are early signs of a recovery for both the industry and Volvo Cars, which is reflected in the gradual improvement in deliveries. However, the overall market still remains impacted by low customer sentiment and subdued demand for fully electric and plug-in hybrid cars post subsidy removal.
“Despite all the external challenges, we continue to grow in Europe through electrification,” said Erik Severinson, Chief Commercial Officer at Volvo Cars. “Overall, deliveries of our fully electric cars grew for the eighth consecutive month driven by the strong demand for the EX30 and EX40 electric SUVs in Europe. We have also seen sustained and strong increase in retail orders for our fully electric models in the region, which further reinforces our strategy to become a leader in premium electrification.”
"Additionally, we are excited to receive overwhelmingly positive reviews of our new EX60 fully electric SUV from our customers and the media. Initial customer orders for the car have already surpassed our internal expectations. We are now gearing up to gradually ramp up the production of the car in the second half of the year.”

REYKJAVÍK – Infrastructure marketing is notoriously difficult to make exciting. Yet, a brilliant creative initiative out of Iceland has done the unthinkable: it turned pothole complaints into an award-winning, globally discussed marketing phenomenon.
The "¡Hola!" campaign, launched by the road-paving giant Colas Ísland in collaboration with advertising agency Pipar/TBWA, has caught the attention of international marketing circles after completely sweeping Iceland’s prestigious advertising awards (Lúðurinn) and winning Áran—the title for the most effective campaign of the year.
The Icelandic Context: A Brilliant Linguistic Twist
Aired across Icelandic television, billboards, and digital media, the campaign capitalized on a genius linguistic coincidence. While the Spanish word "¡Hola!" is a cheerful greeting, phonetically it sounds identical to "hola", the Icelandic word for a pothole.
Instead of hiding from public frustration regarding worn-down winter roads, Colas leaned directly into the problem. They introduced the world to Nicolas, a fictional, overly enthusiastic "pothole lover" who traveled across Iceland's rugged road networks, cheerfully saying "hello" (¡Hola!) to every crater he encountered on TV and social media.
Beyond the Screen: Driving Political and Civic Action
What started as a humorous broadcast campaign quickly evolved into a massive public engagement project. The initiative featured several highly strategic pillars that turned viral laughs into real-world impact:
· The Ruined Roads Guidebook (Ónýtuvegahandbókin): Colas published a comprehensive, tongue-in-cheek guidebook mapping out the worst road damage across the country, effectively pressure-testing local authorities to step up infrastructure budgets. · Interactive Civic Tracking: Icelandic drivers and cyclists were invited to actively participate by reporting road issues, transforming a public nuisance into a proactive community effort. · Humanizing the Crew: The ads cleverly shifted public perspective, turning road maintenance workers from an "inconvenience that causes traffic" into community heroes fixing the infrastructure.
Why the International Marketing World is Watching
International branding experts are pointing to the Icelandic campaign as a prime example of "flawpop" marketing—taking a company's most glaring industry challenge and turning it into their greatest asset.
"Colas Iceland didn't just ask for patience; they created a shared cultural moment out of a universal frustration," noted an international creative director during an ad-industry review. "By using humor and local wordplay, they took the heat off their brand and put the focus on collaborative solutions."
With its recent clean sweep at the 2026 Icelandic marketing awards, the "¡Hola!" campaign has proven that even the most mundane industries can achieve international creative acclaim. It stands as a reminder to companies worldwide that sometimes, the best way to fix a problem is to look it in the face and simply say hello.

Anders Ramsten managed £140 billion of retail fund assets at Swedbank. Institutions have access to professional fund evaluation tools. Everyday investors never did. PowerFunds is the result.
Millions of British savers have their largest single investment, in many cases bigger than their house, in a fund a consultant or they themselves chose years ago. Nobody has reviewed it since. The information needed to evaluate those funds exists. What ordinary investors receive instead is simplified marketing and curated lists. PowerFunds is putting that information where it belongs: in the hands of the people whose money is actually at stake.
British savers can now check for free whether the funds they already own are among the best, and see where stronger-rated alternatives exist. PowerFunds rates every fund on two levels: how strong the category is, and how well the fund performs compared with the best index fund in the same investment category, based on long-term returns and fees. Each fund receives one of four clear ratings: Leading, Performing, Middling or Lagging. For £10 a month, PowerFunds monitors every fund a subscriber holds, alerting them the moment one starts to slip.
"The biggest risk for many investors is not choosing the wrong fund. It is staying in the wrong fund for years without realising it. We have created the first monitoring layer for retail investors that is structurally independent of the funds it assesses." — Anders Ramsten, founder of PowerFunds
Only 8.6% of UK adults received regulated financial advice in the past year, according to the FCA's Financial Lives 2024 survey. S&P SPIVA's Europe Year-End 2024 report found that 93% of actively managed equity funds underperformed their benchmark over ten years. Based on analysis of UK fund performance data, on a £100,000 investment, that gap can exceed £140,000 over twenty years of investing. Same type of fund, different choice. For most savers, that gap is the difference between retiring when they choose to and working until they have to.
PowerFunds has secured seed funding from Symvan Capital, a London-based venture capital firm. With more than 7,000 users already on the platform, PowerFunds is now scaling up across the UK and Swedish markets.
"At Symvan, we back teams with strong vision, clear market opportunity and the ability to execute. PowerFunds' focus on improving outcomes for everyday investors stood out immediately." — Kealan Doyle, CEO, Symvan Capital
PowerFunds does not manage money or provide investment advice. Revenue comes from subscribers and affiliate agreements with the platforms carrying the highest-rated funds, and its ratings are structurally independent: a single, consistent methodology applies to every fund on the market. Most fund ratings tell you who won their type of race. PowerFunds tells you whether the race was worth running.
About PowerFunds PowerFunds is built by a team with backgrounds spanning Swedbank, Spotify, Ogilvy, Young & Rubicam, Investor AB and Kindred. The platform covers every fund on the UK and Swedish markets and is built on an open, academically grounded methodology. PowerFunds is an alumnus of AI Forge, one of the UK’s leading AI incubators.

Comments from Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB
“Digitization, AI and increasing security requirements are drivers that are fundamentally changing how both we and our customers work. For us, this is about embracing change and converting new technologies into customer value. With a corporate culture that encourages innovation and ideas, and puts them into practice, we are continuing to strengthen Sectra’s position in medical IT and cybersecurity—areas where our solutions make a difference in people’s lives, health and safety all over the world.
“The Group’s net sales exceeded SEK 1 billion for the first time in a single quarter. This positive performance was made possible as a result of satisfied and loyal customers. All of our operating areas are growing and reporting increased operating profit, despite the negative impact of currency effects and delays in product deliveries in Secure Communications.
“Our ongoing transformation of the business model from software sales to service deliveries helped to increase the total share of recurring revenue by 5 percentage points to close to 70% during the fiscal year. This also led to a more even performance between quarters compared with our past seasonal trends, which is clear from our earnings outcomes for the last three quarters.
“AI is an enormous wave rolling in and no one knows exactly how it will affect the future. We are choosing to ride this wave and course-correct as we go, rather than paddling behind and struggling to catch up.
“At a time when politics, technology and business risks are becoming increasingly interconnected, our ability to combine innovation with high security and long-term trust is growing in importance. We will continue capitalizing on this and other strengths to make the world a healthier and safer place. Our stable financial position gives us the ability to continue investing in innovation and capacity for the future. Together with our customers, we are shaping and driving developments forward, which means that our speed is a crucial strength. The trust we receive from our customers is not something we take for granted. We must continue to earn it and build on it every day.”

In addition, the Company has received non-binding intentions to subscribe for BTC PREF from all members of the Board of Directors and certain members of management of BTC AB, corresponding to approximately SEK 2.4 million, equivalent to approximately 10.2 percent of the Rights Issue. The intentions to subscribe are not legally binding and do not constitute formal commitments to subscribe.The estimated date for announcement of the outcome of the Rights Issue is 2 July 2026.If the Rights Issue is oversubscribed, the Board of Directors may, in whole or in part, pursuant to the authorisation granted by the 2026 Annual General Meeting, resolve on an Over-allotment Issue of a maximum of 83,333 shares, corresponding to issue proceeds of a maximum of approximately SEK 10.0 million before issue costs. The terms of any Overallotment Issue will be the same as those of the Rights Issue.Background and reasons for the Rights IssueBTC AB is a Sweden-based company with Bitcoin as its core reserve asset. The Company is a pure-play Bitcoin treasury company operating under a Swedish corporate equity structure. As a dedicated operator in Bitcoin treasury management, BTC AB focuses on acquiring, securing and maintaining Bitcoin as part of a long-term capital strategy.The Rights Issue is carried out to strengthen the Company’s capital base and support the continued execution of the Company’s Bitcoin treasury strategy. The net proceeds are intended to be used primarily for additional acquisitions of bitcoin and for liquidity reserve purposes related to the Company’s preference share structure.The preference share structure is intended to allow BTC AB to raise equity capital without creating debt or large repayment obligations. The structure is also intended to enable BTC AB to prudently increase its amplification through preferred equity, with the objective of accelerating growth in Bitcoin per Share while limiting dilution for ordinary equity shareholders.BTC PREF carries a preferential dividend and has a liquidation preference corresponding to the redemption amount. BTC AB may redeem all or some of the BTC PREF in accordance with the terms set out in the Company’s articles of association and the information document.Background and reasons for the ListingIn connection with the Rights Issue, BTC AB has applied for admission to trading of BTC PREF on Spotlight Stock Market. The first day of trading is expected to be on or around 20 July 2026.Following the directed issue of preference shares in December 2025, the Company now seeks to broaden its shareholder base through the Rights Issue, and the Listing provides an organised secondary market and transparent pricing for existing and new holders. The preference share is a key part of the Company's financing strategy, as the Board considers it an effective instrument for raising capital for its Bitcoin treasury strategy without increasing financial leverage or diluting ordinary shareholders.The Rights IssueThe Board of Directors has resolved to carry out the Rights Issue. For each existing Class B share held on the record date, one (1) subscription right will be received. Four (4) subscription rights will entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) BTC PREF.

In order not to lose the value of the subscription rights, the holder must either exercise the subscription rights to subscribe for BTC PREF or sell them during the period for trading in subscription rights.If not all BTC PREF are subscribed for with subscription rights, the Board of Directors shall, within the maximum amount of the Rights Issue, resolve on allotment of BTC PREF subscribed for without subscription rights in accordance with the following.First, allotment shall be made to those who have subscribed for BTC PREF with subscription rights, regardless of whether the subscriber was a shareholder on the record date or not, and, in the event that allotment to these subscribers cannot be made in full, allotment shall be made pro rata in relation to the number of subscription rights exercised for subscription of BTC PREF and, to the extent this cannot be done, by drawing of lots. Second, allotment shall be made to others who have subscribed for BTC PREF without subscription rights, and, in the event that allotment to these subscribers cannot be made in full, allotment shall be made pro rata in relation to the number of BTC PREF subscribed for by each person and, to the extent this cannot be done, by drawing of lots.Subscription undertakingsA number of external investors have entered into subscription undertakings to subscribe for BTC PREF in the Rights Issue, corresponding in aggregate to approximately SEK 6.3 million, equivalent to approximately 27.1 percent of the Rights Issue. The individual subscription undertakings are set out in the table below. The subscription undertakings are not secured through bank guarantees, blocked funds, pledges or similar arrangements.

The number of shares will increase by a maximum of 195,078 BTC PREF, from 1,000,833,501 shares to 1,001,028,579 shares (consisting of 499,999,900 Class A shares, 780,313 Class B shares, 499,992,888 Class C shares and 255,478 BTC PREF). This corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.019 percent of the share capital and approximately 0.004 percent of the votes.Information documentFull terms and instructions for the Rights Issue as well as additional information about the Company will be set out in the information document, which is expected to be published on 15 June 2026. The information document and application form will be available at btc.se and at the dedicated page btc.se/pref.Over-allotment IssueIf the Rights Issue is oversubscribed, the Board of Directors may, pursuant to the authorisation granted by the 2026 Annual General Meeting, resolve in whole or in part on an Over-allotment Issue. The Over-allotment Issue may comprise up to 83,333 shares, corresponding to maximum issue proceeds of approximately SEK 10.0 million before issue costs. The terms of any Over-allotment Issue will be the same as those of the Rights Issue. When resolving on the Over-allotment Issue, the Board of Directors shall determine allotment in accordance with the principles for allotment applied in the Rights Issue. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to accommodate a higher demand than initially anticipated in the event of oversubscription in the Rights Issue, and to enable the Company to receive additional issue proceeds in such case. The right to subscribe for shares in the Over-allotment Issue shall accrue to those who have subscribed for shares in the Rights Issue without receiving full allotment.The Over-allotment Issue means that the share capital may increase by a maximum of an additional SEK 41.6665 and that the number of shares may increase by a maximum of an additional 83,333 shares, which, together with the Rights Issue, corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.028 percent of the share capital and approximately 0.005 percent of the votes in the Company following registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.AdvisorsEminova Partners acts as financial advisor in connection with the Rights Issue.

Staying on the water: from a houseboat to a historic hotel ship
The houseboats and hotel ships along the Weser are a perfect invitation to get to know Bremen from a different perspective. On the strip of land between Neustädter Hafen and the Weser, the Hausboote am Lankenauer Höft offer a relaxed break in a luxury holiday home, just a stone’s throw from restaurants and the beach. There is also some very special floating accommodation in the historic city centre. The traditional green-sailed ‘Alexander von Humboldt ’ on the famous Schlachte-Ufer is a chance to experience the maritime history of Bremen close up. The cosy cabins on the hotel ship are the perfect retreat for all those looking for a special alternative to a traditional hotel room.
Innovative concept hotels reflect Bremen’s creative side
At the same time, Bremen is showing off its creative side with concepts that reinterpret the character of converted marine and industrial spaces. In a novel twist, the HafenTraum IndoorHostelCamp brings camping inside in the dry: indoor tiny houses and vintage caravans combine urban design with a feeling of adventure. Accommodation like Camp 28 also feeds the desire for freedom. The unspoilt lakeside campsite on the Stadtwaldsee is well connected to the city centre via cycle routes and public transport, so a relaxed camping holiday in the countryside can be combined with a city break.
The Land of Green is also evidence of how well sustainability and eco-conscious tourism can be combined with modern comfort and experiences on a trip to Bremen. To the south of the artists’ community of Worpswede, travellers can stay in unspoilt tiny houses or tree-houses, and enjoy the Teufelsmoor nature conservation area at any time of year. The forest resort also offers a range of wellness amenities and foodie treats.
Perfect combination of countryside and city break
The variety of accommodation makes Bremen ideal for all kinds of breaks, from a spontaneous weekend trip to a longer holiday with the family. With short connections and an excellent network of cycle paths and public transport, countryside bases also make the perfect starting point for exploring the city. The different accommodation options in Bremen and the surrounding area reflect the maritime, creative, natural and relaxed character of the city. This is what makes it such a charming destination for those seeking a city full of atmosphere and charm.
As demands for operational safety and drinking water quality in modern drinking water networks continue to rise, the role of traditional valves is undergoing a fundamental shift. Today, addressing individual functions in isolation is no longer sufficient. What is required are integrated solutions that combine hygiene safety and network monitoring into a single, holistic approach. To meet this need, the VAG DUOJET® @ON Smart Air Valve was developed and introduced as a production-ready solution at the IFAT trade fair in Munich in May 2026. It marks the next step in the evolution of a proven valve into an enhanced system component.
The core approach is to combine hygiene protection and network monitoring in a single valve. The traditional venting and air-release function is combined with an automated, hygienically effective flushing strategy. This ensures that areas within the drinking water system that are prone to stagnation are regularly flushed, thereby maintaining drinking water quality at a defined level at all times.
The flushing function is designed to run automatically at user-defined intervals – for example, every three months – and can be adapted to the specific system conditions. This helps ensure compliance with the hygiene requirements of DVGW W392-2 without requiring on-site service personnel to intervene. The manual flushing cycles that were previously required are no longer necessary. The process is repeatable and significantly reduces operational effort for work assignments.
Timo Bugert, Product Manager for Global Engineering at VAG, explains from a technical perspective: “The automatic flushing system integrates seamlessly into the system and offers not only hygienic benefits but also advantages in terms of maintenance and network operation. This integration establishes a reliable foundation for consistently reliable hygiene safety throughout the entire network.”
In addition to its integrated flushing function, the valve fulfills its core purpose as a single-chamber high-performance valve for the controlled venting and filling of piping systems. It combines three essential functions: venting during discharge, air release during filling, and continuous operational venting. The design enables the stable and efficient removal of both large volumes of air during dynamic operating phases and small amounts of air during continuous operation – even at air velocities approaching the speed of sound.
In addition, the smart valve enables continuous monitoring of relevant operating conditions. The integrated sensors and system controls measure pressure conditions and valve positions. This data is not collected in isolation but rather enables a reliable assessment of the system’s condition.
Upon request, operators receive both regular status updates and real-time alerts in the event of deviations from normal operation. The information gathered enables continuous monitoring of the condition of the pipelines and the manhole infrastructure. Pressure deviations, unusual operating conditions, or unauthorized access to the valve or the installation shaft can be detected early and transmitted to the network operator as status or warning messages. This advancement allows early detection of potential incidents, such as pipe breaks or critical operating conditions. The valve thus assumes a significantly enhanced role within the supply network.
Security is also a top priority when it comes to data transmission. Communication is unidirectional and encrypted. Only status and warning messages are transmitted from the field to the operator; external access to the valve is prevented. This ensures a high level of IT security.
The combination of a low-maintenance design – with operating periods designed for a minimum of three years without requiring on-site service – and integrated data capabilities supports compliance with the requirements of DVGW W392-2 and enables seamless integration into existing and future network structures. At the same time, it lays the groundwork for advanced applications such as condition-based maintenance or higher-level network analyses.
This approach demonstrates that the future of water supply does not depend on the isolated digitization of individual components, but rather on the intelligent integration of function and information. Only when the valve itself becomes an active information carrier does measurable added value emerge – both in technical and economic terms. In this way, the valve becomes an integral part of a resilient and sustainable water supply network.
