Yahoo03-06-2025
CERo Therapeutics (CERO) Holdings announces two previously announced U.S. patent applications have been granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and one European patent application has been allowed by the European Patent Office, all of which significantly expand the Company's intellectual property portfolio. The USPTO granted U.S. Patent No. 12,291,557, titled, 'CHIMERIC TIM4 RECEPTORS AND USES THEREOF' on May 6, 2025. The granted claims cover certain design aspects of CER-1236, the Company's lead compound. This patent provides composition of matter protection for a chimeric TIM4 receptor comprising a TIM4 binding domain and canonical T cell signaling domains. Additionally, the European Patent Office has allowed European Patent Application No. 1882166.7 titled, 'CHIMERIC ENGULFMENT RECEPTOR MOLECULES AND METHODS OF USE' on May 16, 2025. The allowed claims encompass a chimeric engulfment receptor comprising a TIM4 binding domain and TLR2 signaling domain. The allowance of this European patent application expands protection of additional design aspects of CER-1236, which have already been granted in the U.S., Japan, and China. Finally, the USPTO granted U.S. Patent No. 12,303,551, titled, 'CELLULAR IMMUNOTHERAPY COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF,' on May 20, 2025. This patent provides coverage for combination cellular immunotherapy compositions and methods of use for CER-1236. The patent covers combination of a chimeric engulfment receptor CD4+ T cell with a chimeric antigen receptor CD8+ T cell or T cell receptor CD8+ T cell, and their use to treat cancer.

September 2025: Science History from 50, 100 and 150 Years Ago

1975 Earth Fires Seeds into Space 'Imagine that the earth has been watched over the aeons by an extremely patient extraterrestrial observer. Nothing, save a little hydrogen and helium, leaves the planet. And then, less than 20 years ago, the planet suddenly begins, like a dandelion gone to seed, to fire tiny capsules throughout the inner solar system. First they go into orbit around the earth. Six capsules set down on the moon and from each two small organisms emerge. Five little spacecraft enter the hellhole of Venus's atmosphere. More than a dozen are dispatched to Mars. Two spacecraft successfully traverse the asteroid belt, fly close to Jupiter and are ejected by its gravity into interstellar space.

It is clear, the observer might report, that something interesting is happening. We have entered, almost without noticing it, an age of exploration unparalleled since the Renaissance, when in just 30 years European people moved across the Western ocean to bring the entire globe within their ken. Our new ocean is the shallow disk of space occupied by the solar system. Centuries hence, our age may be remembered chiefly as the time when the inhabitants of the earth first made contact with the vast cosmos in which their small planet is embedded. —Carl Sagan' 1925 Television via Radio 'C. Francis Jenkins, radio photographic experimenter of Washington, D.C., has demonstrated apparatus by which moving objects, including a Dutch windmill and motion picture film, were sent by radio for five miles and reproduced on a miniature screen, 10 by eight inches. The transmitter was set up at station NOF, near Anacostia, D.C., and the receiver in Jenkins's laboratory. He predicts that the process will be perfected so that scenes at baseball games and prize fights can be broadcast over long distances.' Clearly Written Books 'Below are some of the recent books that can be recommended for clearness of treatment, obtainable from the Scientific American Book Department. Red-Lead and How to Use it in Paint, by Sabin White-Lead. Its Use in Paint, by Sabin The Science of Knitting, by Tompkins Carbureting and Combustion in Alcohol Engines, by Sorel, Woodward, Preston Evolution and Animal Intelligence, by Holmes I Believe in God and in Evolution, by Keen God or Gorilla, by McCann' 1875 Cincinnati is Center of U.S. 'The center of our population has traveled westward, keeping curiously near the 39th parallel of latitude, never getting more than 20 miles north or two miles south of it. In 80 years it has traveled only 400 miles, and it is now found nearly 50 miles eastward of Cincinnati, Ohio.' Spiritualist Rebuke 'Most of the organs of the spiritualists in this country are filled with insipid ghost matter, very tiresome and useless to all whose brains have not been softened by the spirit craze. The Spiritual Scientist, a weekly periodical, is an exception. Its editorial columns exhibit talent, while its conductors, with boldness, condemn as unworthy of true believers the printing of the unauthenticated trashy stuff delivered by common mediums. To its contemporary, the Banner of Light, it administers a severe rebuke for its agency in this matter, and alleges that for the past 10 or 12 years that journal has poured out a weekly stream of pretended spirit communications, of which not more than two in a hundred had contained anything beyond childish nonsense.' Huge Ganoids Ruled the Seas 'Professor J. S. Newberry gave descriptions of some newly discovered ancient fishes found in the rocks of Ohio. Among these was the entire bony structure of Dinichthys terrelli, the hugest of the old armor-plated ganoids. The dorsal shield weighed 30 pounds. Professor Newberry explained that the dipnoans of Africa and South America were descended from these ancient plated ganoids, and were the last remnants of a group of fishes which in the Devonian age not only ruled the seas, but were the most powerful and highly organized of living beings.'

How Trump 2.0 is galvanizing European AI and defense tech

"Make Europe's tech ecosystem great again" might not fit on a Trump campaign badge, but it's something he might unintentionally be delivering on. At least, that's what investors and founders on the continent are betting on as the US has become more protectionist with its economic policies and a less reliable ally for Ukraine. It's spurred investors in Europe to put more capital into defense startups, and tech companies and politicians to embrace so-called tech sovereignty in areas like AI and climate. "There's been a shift in deployment targets," Flavia Levi, a deep tech VC at Europe-based Join Capital, told Business Insider. "Now, we're talking about how money should be going into strengthening the critical technologies of Europe." European founders and investors also sense an opportunity. Six months into his second term, Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs and his "Big Beautiful Bill" have unsettled the US tech sector. They have slashed funding for clean energy projects, inflated manufacturing costs for hardware startups, and complicated visa requirements for global talent entering the country. Investors are backing Europe's defense startups Globally, defense tech has been a top focus for investors in 2025 — but especially so in Europe. Last year, defense startups on the continent raised a banner $2.4 billion, per PitchBook data. This year, they've already clinched $2.11 billion — with notable raises coming from the likes of Helsing and Quantum-Systems.

The Trump administration's unpredictable relationships with Ukraine and NATO have been "a further wake-up call for the European continent to seek military and economic independence," said Alexander Lange, general partner at VC fund Inflection. He added that it's galvanizing a whole generation of founders to pursue "meaningful challenges in energy, compute infrastructure, manufacturing, and defense." Russia's attack on Ukraine in 2022 reminded Europe that war is a tangible reality on the continent, Matthew Wright, UK lead at defense tech startup Delian, told Business Insider. "Trump accelerated a lot of the thinking that was in place already," Wright said. "It encouraged European governments to spend more on defense so they don't have to rely on the US or third parties." Trump's bashing of ESG policies may have also indirectly influenced investors' approaches to European defense tech startups. "Historically, there has not been a lot of money in defense tech, because a lot of VCs and sometimes LPs have clauses whereby they agree not to invest in defense," said Levi. Limited partners, which provide capital for VCs, have historically gravitated to companies that "tick off ESG boxes," instead of building weapons — but this has started to change, she added. "LPs have started to change their investment thesis, and they're removing these clauses so VC funds have more freedom to invest in defense-related technologies," she said. VCs are championing European tech sovereignty Defense isn't the only sector getting extra investor attention in the Trump 2.0 era. This year, European government leaders such as France's Emmanuel Macron and the UK's Keir Starmer have committed billions in funding toward national AI ventures, often around "AI sovereignty" — the idea that a country or region should have control over the governance of its AI technologies and infrastructure. At London Tech Week in June, Arthur Mensch, the cofounder and CEO of OpenAI rival Mistral, said that trade tensions between the US and Europe had "accelerated conversations" about Europe becoming less dependent on US tech infrastructure. That same week, the Paris-based startup announced a partnership with Nvidia to establish sovereign computing infrastructure in France. Europe has also been stepping up in response to Stargate, the US's $500 billion AI infrastructure project announced in January, Roxanne Varza, director of startup incubator Station F, previously told Business Insider. At the February AI Summit in Paris — weeks after Trump announced Stargate in the White House — key corporations, VCs, and founders pledged to invest up to $150 billion in capital into Europe's AI ecosystem over the next five years. It's a significant amount of capital for Europe, whose startups have long lagged behind their US counterparts when securing VC funding. Critics attribute this gap to the continent's stringent regulations and fragmented ecosystem. In 2024, startups on the continent raised $51 billion in VC funding — trailing the $190 billion secured by US startups the same year. Trump's industrial policy is also causing ripple effects for climate startups in the US. Many are eyeing Europe as a haven for climate tech innovation and government funding at a time when federal funding for clean energy programs is being slashed. In all, founders and VCs in Europe are banking on a "historic opportunity" to establish a more coherent identity and strategy in the global technology race, said Julien Codorniou, general partner at 20VC. "We must position ourselves as a refuge for anyone who believes in technology, science, progress, and meritocracy."
