ß - glucan produced by AFO-202 strain of black yeast Aureobasidium Pullulans (Nichi Glucan), having immune enhancement potentials through all major pathways, has been recommended worth clinical studies for validation as a vaccine adjuvant in COVID-19 (https://doi.org/10.1080/21645515.2021.1880210 ). Pathogens entering through nasal or oral route are tackled by mucosal immunity and antibodies in saliva and once inside the body by innate and adaptive immune systems and the trained immunity (TRIM). Nichi Glucan may have beneficial effects through all the above, describes the scientific publication journal associated with the International Society of Vaccines.

Nichi Glucan as vaccine adjuvant: Adjuvants are agents that supplement vaccines by enhancing or stabilizing them. Nichi glucan with immunomodulating potential is considered more advantageous as it’s vaccine adjuvant efficacy against Avian influenza (H5N1, H5N2) have been reported (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21532325/ ), has a safety track record of consumption as a food supplement in Japan since 1996 and beneficial effects in general health documented in human studies described below.
- Immune enhancement and balancing benefits in studies in cancer patients, young adults and elderly healthy volunteers (https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2020.01548 )
- Coagulopathy related to COVID-19, could be tackled in populations at high-risk for blood clotting disorders; Thrombosis (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12959-020-00239-6 )
- Balancing of blood sugar and cholesterol potential may reduce mortality in SARS-CoV-2 patients; Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders (https://doi.org/10.1007/s40200-020-00664-4 ).
- Beta glucans in Trained immunity is reported to be more robust as they act on bone marrow which produces blood components and immune cells.
Earlier, associates of GN Corporation were granted a patent on Influenza Neutralizing Antibody to identify vulnerable population for vaccine administration, accomplished in collaboration with Dr. Yoshikazu Kurosawa, a monoclonal antibody researcher, recognized by Prof. Susumu Tonegawa in his Nobel prize for medicine – lecture in 1987 (https://www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2018/06/tonegawa-lecture.pdf ).
Human beings lack an ability to advantageously mutate their DNA or RNA unlike viruses; therefore, left with the only option of boosting their immune system for protection from evolving new pathogens and mutating viruses. Fungi having contributed significantly to human health yielding antimicrobial agents such as Penicillin and many anti-cancer agents, further research on this black yeast looks very promising said Dr. Gene Kurosawa, a co-author. Clinical studies on prebiotic potentials of Nichi Glucan to solve gut dysbiosis by balancing gut microbiota are underway.

Alnylam to Present New Analyses at Heart Failure 2026 Underscoring Consistent Clinical Profile of Vutrisiran in ATTR-CM4.5.2026 14:30:00 CEST | Press release
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), the leading RNAi therapeutics company, today announced it will present new data analyses for vutrisiran in patients with the cardiomyopathy of wild-type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) at Heart Failure 2026, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology, taking place May 9-12, 2026, in Barcelona, Spain. ATTR-CM is a heterogeneous and rapidly progressive disease, and patients often present with complex clinical profiles. At Heart Failure 2026, Alnylam will present multiple new analyses from the Phase 3 HELIOS-B study of vutrisiran, which continue to support its use as a first-line treatment for patients with ATTR-CM, and further characterize its clinical profile across patients with a high disease burden, and in the context of concomitant therapies. Vutrisiran is the first and only transthyretin (TTR) silencer for ATTR-CM that delivers rapid knockdown of TTR at the source. Additional analyses being pr
Takeda Announces Positive Topline Results from Pivotal Phase 2/3 Clinical Trial of TAK-881 in Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (PID)4.5.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
Investigational TAK-881 was comparable to established HYQVIA while also demonstrating reduced infusion volume and duration for PID patients Takeda (TSE:4502/NYSE:TAK) today announced that TAK-881-3001, a pivotal Phase 2/3 clinical trial in patients with Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (PID), met its primary endpoint, which demonstrated pharmacokinetic (PK) comparability between the investigational TAK-881 [Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Solution (SCIG 20%) with Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase] and HYQVIA [Immune Globulin Infusion (Human) 10% with Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase]. Additionally, secondary endpoints showed that TAK-881, a SCIG 20% facilitated with hyaluronidase, demonstrated safety, efficacy and tolerability profiles comparable to HYQVIA, an established SCIG 10% facilitated with hyaluronidase. These findings support the potential of TAK-881 to deliver the required immunoglobulin (IG) dose for PID patients in half the volume of HYQVIA, reducing infusion duratio
