30.3.2022 08:02:15 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
H.U. Group Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fujirebio today announced the availability of the Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma and Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-40 Plasma assays for the fully automated LUMIPULSE G immunoassay systems. These CLEIA (chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay) assays allow for the quantitative measurement of β-amyloid1-42 and β-amyloid1-40 in human plasma within just 35 minutes.
“With the launch of these two new tests on our robust LUMIPULSE G platform, Fujirebio truly becomes an essential actor in the field of blood-based testing,” said Goki Ishikawa, President and CEO of Fujirebio Holdings, Inc. “Our cerebrospinal fluid-based neurodegeneration IVD tests are already used by laboratories for routine testing in many countries across the world for decades, and this release continues the new chapter that we started writing earlier this month, with the launch of the Lumipulse G pTau 181 Plasma.”
The two new automated blood-based biomarker assays are available for Research Use Only. They will allow researchers and clinical research professionals across the world to further study the clinical utility of the Aβ1-42 , Aβ1-40 and the pTau 181 markers in Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders on the LUMIPULSE G platform. This platform has the required throughput and meets the regulatory requirements to support possible future routine use of blood-based testing of these markers.
The Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma and the Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-40 Plasma assays, together with the already available Lumipulse G pTau 181 Plasma assay, complement the panel of four key cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) assays (Aβ1-42 , Aβ1-40 , tTau and pTau 181) already available within the Lumipulse G as well as the INNOTEST® Neuro product portfolio. These four CSF parameters can provide essential information on the presence of amyloid and tau pathology in neurodegenerative disease.
There is hope that blood-based testing can become an even simpler, more accessible, and more scalable approach to help support the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Current research indicates that the plasma β-amyloid1-42 /β-amyloid1-40 ratio has the potential to be used in clinical settings and within clinical trials to predict brain β-amyloid burden.1-2 It could also be used as a tool to evaluate target engagement and efficacy of disease-modifying drugs.3
The development of the Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma and Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-40 Plasma assays has been supported by the Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship (VLAIO).

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 15:31:00 CET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Research reveals 100% of leading generative AI models fail to generate secure code for critical development scenarios Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security
