Kindeva Global Health Security Donates ATNAA to Ukraine Through the European Commission's rescEU and Governmental Strategic Reserves Agency (RARS)
29.5.2024 15:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Kindeva Drug Delivery (Kindeva), a leading global health security provider of CBRN medical countermeasures, announced that it donated a supply of autoinjectors — specifically an antidotal treatment for chemical nerve agents — to Ukraine through the rescEU reserve of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism to aid civilians affected by the war in Ukraine.1 Medical countermeasures (MCMs), such as the ATNAA (Antidote Treatment Nerve Agent Autoinjector), are instrumental in protecting the lives of civilians and military in the event of a chemical nerve agent attack.
This donation was coordinated with the European Commission, which in 2022, established an operational system under the EU Civil Protection Mechanism to channel in-kind donations from the private sector to Ukraine, Moldova, and neighboring EU countries. Via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, the EU coordinates emergency supply items, therapeutics and medicines, medical devices, shelter items, and more from private and public companies and entities and non-EU governmental institutions that become part of the rescEU reserve to offer an additional layer of protection when disasters strike. The Governmental Strategic Reserves Agency (RARS) in Poland acts on behalf of the European Commission and rescEU to receive the donation and arrange for local transport to Ukraine.
“The rescEU reserve allows the EU to respond more quickly to medical needs caused by health crises, like the war in Ukraine,” said Kindeva’s Tom Handel, Commercial Head - Injectables & Health Security. “Meridian Medical Technologies (Meridian), which merged with Kindeva Drug Delivery in December 2022 to create a leading drug-device CDMO, is the global health security business unit of Kindeva. The company has been putting emergency care treatment options into the hands of military and civilian defenders for more than 60 years and will continue to do so as a combined organization. Kindeva is pleased we were able to work with the European Commission to donate our chemical nerve agent antidote autoinjectors to boost Ukraine’s CBRN stockpile.”

JEOL: Sales Launch of the Laser SEM System “LazEdge”25.5.2026 11:16:00 EEST | Press release
JEOL Ltd. (President & CEO: Izumi Oi) has developed the “LazEdge”, an SEM system equipped with a laser processing system, and begins sales on May 25, 2026. Cross-section preparation instruments such as the focused ion beam system (FIB system), are widely used in science and technology fields across research institutes, universities, and industries. In recent years, demand is increasing for a system that can process large-areas at a high speed, while achieving high-quality of the processed surface. “LazEdge” is an instrument integrating JEOL’s SEM with the laser technology proprietary of Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., and enables laser processing inside the specimen chamber of the electron microscope. This system enables high-quality cross-section specimens produced through high-speed, large-area processing to be transferred seamlessly to subsequent analyses, such as SEM observation, elemental analysis, and crystal orientation analysis, without exposure to the external environment.

TFG-001, A Novel 3D Neural Microtissue Cell Therapy, Demonstrates Superior Functionality and Reinnervation for Parkinson’s Disease25.5.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
TreeFrog Therapeutics, a regenerative medicine biotech company developing next-generation cell therapies, today announced that it will present new preclinical data on TFG-001 at the 7th World Parkinson’s Conference. TFG-001, a 3D neural microtissue cell therapy, demonstrated rapid dopamine release and extensive graft-derived reinnervation across multiple advanced translational Parkinson’s disease models—supporting its potential as a best-in-class candidate. The critical need for reinnervation in Parkinson's disease In Parkinson's disease, an estimated 60–80% of dopaminergic neurons are already lost before motor symptoms even appear. The nigrostriatal pathway degenerates, destroying the essential wiring that connects dopamine-producing neurons to movement control. While chemical dopamine replacements (like levodopa) can manage symptoms, they cannot restore the spatial precision, feedback loops, or dynamic regulation of a healthy brain network. To achieve true functional restoration, it
