Recent clinical data confirm the importance of patient stratification in the development of cancer immunotherapies. For instance Merck’success with Keytruda (Pembrolizumab, anti PDL-1) in lung cancer demonstrates that the patient screening according to the ligand overexpression of the therapeutic target is a winning strategy in immuno-oncology.

Though the pertinence of personalized medicine in oncology cannot be argued, one must also consider that the reactivation of the immune system against tumors engage subtle and complex mechanisms, which can be more efficient when multiple pathways are simultaneously activated. This opinion is commonly shared by many researchers in immuno-oncology who engage clinical trials combining therapies against several targets.
If clinical results confirm the relevance of this approach, it will be necessary to qualify patients on the basis of multiple biomarkers. Given the fact that a biopsy can only be used on a few histological slides, an obvious conclusion arises: it becomes urgent to extract several markers from a single slide.
Positive progress of liquid biopsy and molecular biology could potentially address this issue. But these solutions do not allow to localize the marker, which is sometimes required. To get more precise information on the tumor microenvironment, the protein expression is not enough: associated morphologic information needs to be known.
Nowadays several clinical trials in immuno-oncology rely on multiplex immunohistochemistry to use a sufficient number of markers despite the scarcity of biological material. It can be anticipated that the routine histopathologic diagnostic will integrate multiplex analysis of markers so that pathologist can try this new challenge: characterize tumor immune profile from a single biopsy.
Cultural and technological barriers will have to be removed in order to let histopathology progress as fast as the innovations in immuno-oncology. For instance fluorescence revelation is not commonly used by the pathologists. Complex multiplex IHC staining require slide scanners compatible with multispectral imaging, which is not widely spread. Then the volume of data processed from multiplex staining will require to use image analysis solutions able to facilitate the pathologist’s diagnostic. This is a new paradigm for histopathology which is evolving toward a more subtle science than it was already, being source of “rich-data” for the treatment of patients.
This new generation histopathology, led by “augmented pathologists” and able to define the tumor immune profile from one single biopsy, is developed by HISTALIM under the brand named HISTOPROFILE.

ATLAS Infrastructure Invests in H2O America, Backs Long-Term Growth Strategy10.3.2026 18:29:00 CET | Press release
ATLAS anchors H2O America’s equity raise and establishes new substantial shareholdingUpsized transaction highlights strong market support for H2O’s long-term strategy and sector leading growth outlookH2O’s organic growth fully equity funded into 20281 ATLAS Infrastructure (“ATLAS”) is a specialist Global Listed Infrastructure investor managing funds on behalf of long-term infrastructure clients. Following the recent equity placement, ATLAS’s actively managed accounts hold ~10.8% voting and economic interest in H2O America (“H2O”). ATLAS was pleased to support H2Os long‑term strategy to invest in local water and wastewater utility operations through our participation in the recent equity raise. ATLAS recognises the disciplined approach from H2O management which focuses on organic investment in existing businesses alongside targeted and accretive transactions such as the acquisition of Quadvest which materially expands H2O’s regulated water footprint in a premium high‑growth jurisdiction
TIXiMED Announces Promising Preclinical Data: Oral TIX100 Prevents Weight Regain After GLP-1 Cessation in Obesity Model10.3.2026 18:22:00 CET | Press release
TIX100 prevented weight regain in mice after semaglutide discontinuation Supports potential role as oral weight maintenance therapy following GLP-1 Receptor Agonist (GLP-1) treatment, addressing a major challenge in long-term obesity management TIXiMED, Inc., a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing a novel oral therapy targeting thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) for diabetes and metabolic disorders, is pleased to highlight new research by investigators at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Diabetes Center. The study demonstrates that its oral compound, TIX100, effectively prevents weight rebound following discontinuation of GLP-1 treatment in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. In the study, mice treated with semaglutide experienced significant weight loss of over 13% body weight during a 2-week treatment period while continuing a high-fat diet. Upon discontinuation of semaglutide, untreated mice rapidly regained 14% of their body weight, mi
Svante and Integrated Packaging Company Advance U.S. Biogenic CDR Project to Feasibility10.3.2026 14:57:00 CET | Press release
The bioenergy with carbon capture (BECCS) project aims to remove more than 500,000 tonnes per year of biogenic CO2 emissions from a U.S. paper mill’s recovery boiler Svante Development Inc. is co-investing to advance the project The project will generate high-quality carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits to market to Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) buyers. Svante Technologies Inc. (“Svante”) announced today that its bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) project at a paper mill in the Southeast U.S. has progressed to the feasibility study phase.

Forbes 40th Annual World’s Billionaires List10.3.2026 14:43:00 CET | Press release
Elon Musk Is World’s Richest Person Ever Recorded Forbes releases its 40th-annual World’s Billionaireslist, the definitive ranking of the planet’s richest people. Wealth surged to unprecedented levels over the past year, with fortunes climbing at a record pace. This year’s list features 3,428 billionaires, the most since the list’s inception in 1987. The world’s wealthiest people are worth a record $20.1 trillion combined, up from $16.1 trillion in 2025. Elon Musktops the Billionaires list for the second year in a row and is the richest person ever recorded, worth an estimated $839 billion. His net worth skyrocketed by half of a trillion dollars from last year, thanks to a rise in the value of Tesla, and SpaceX which is aiming to go public in 2026. Musk is the first person ever recorded to reach the $800 billion mark, as he moves toward becoming the world’s first trillionaire. “It’s the year of the billionaire,” said Chase Peterson-Withorn, Forbes Senior Editor, Wealth. “The planet add
