Biocon subsidiary and Yoshindo expand access to Ustekinumab Biosimilar in Japan
Biocon Biologics Ltd (BBL), a fully integrated global biosimilars company and a subsidiary of Biocon Ltd, announced that its commercial partner in Japan, Yoshindo Inc., has launched Ustekinumab BS Subcutaneous Injection [YD], a biosimilar version of the reference drug Stelara® (ustekinumab). This biosimilar ustekinumab, developed and manufactured by Biocon Biologics, is being marketed and commercialized in Japan by Yoshindo Inc.
Ustekinumab is a monoclonal antibody indicated for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The biosimilar was developed and manufactured by Biocon Biologics and received approval from Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in December 2024.
This launch follows a settlement and licensing agreement signed in April 2024 between Biocon Biologics and Janssen Biotech Inc., Janssen Sciences Ireland, and Johnson & Johnson, allowing commercialization of Ustekinumab in Japan after regulatory approval.
Biocon Biologics had earlier launched the biosimilar Ustekinumab in the United States and Europe in February 2025, expanding its availability to help patients manage chronic inflammatory conditions.

United Airlines' and JetBlue's 'Blue Sky' partnership brings loyal flyers reciprocal benefits
Loyal United Airlines and JetBlue flyers have a lot to look forward to with the two carriers' recently announced "Blue Sky" partnership. The new alliance will give United MileagePlus and JetBlue TrueBlue members reciprocal perks when flying — they'll be able to earn and redeem miles on either airline, enjoy status benefits onboard both and buy flights from either carrier's website. United Airlines, whose major Northeast hub is at Newark Liberty International Airport, will also have space at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) as early as 2027. While not all of the specifics have been announced yet, here's what we know so far. On May 29, United Airlines and JetBlue announced Blue Sky, a new initiative aimed at providing their frequent flyers with more travel — and credit card rewards earning/redemption — options. The collaboration brings reciprocal benefits to United MileagePlus and JetBlue TrueBlue members, the airlines' loyalty programs, with changes rumored to go into effect as early as this fall. JetBlue has a significant East Coast presence, which means teaming up with United gives its flyers more access across the U.S. Some of United's main hubs include Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Denver International Airport and Houston Intercontinental Airport. United also has a much larger international network that JetBlue flyers can tap into. For United flyers, the alliance with JetBlue opens up their options when flying along the East Coast or to the Caribbean. They can also now add JFK as an alternative for in and out of New York. With the Blue Sky partnership, JetBlue's TrueBlue members will be able to earn and use points for flights across United's global network, including domestic and international flights. United's MileagePlus customers will be provided the same opportunity for "most" JetBlue flights, with further details hopefully coming in the future. The ability to earn and redeem points across airlines is a big perk, especially for travelers who take advantage of transfer partners where available. JetBlue points can be earned by a handful of credit card issuers, with American Express Membership® Rewards, Capital One Miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards® and Citi ThankYou® Rewards all transferring at different ratios. United is a little trickier and only has Chase Ultimate Rewards points and Bilt Rewards Points as transfer partners. This partnership will now likely grant additional ways to indirectly access United's network through transferring points to JetBlue and redeeming via United flights. This could be possible with cards like the American Express® Gold Card or the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card, two popular travel cards that you may already have in your wallet. On the American Express site On the American Express site The Amex Gold Card offers over $400 in statement credits every year.

These benefits include: Don't have status with either carrier? Signing up for their airline credit card can help get you there. The New United℠ Explorer Card (see rates and fees) and the JetBlue Plus Card, for example, allow you to reach status via qualifying spending. With even the lowest tiered status, you can get the above perks.

The New United℠ Explorer Card is worth it even if you only fly with United Airlines once or twice a year because you can take advantage of two United Club℠ passes per year when the primary cardmember or authorized user is traveling and you can receive free checked bags.6X points per dollar spent on eligible JetBlue purchases; 2X points at restaurants and eligible grocery stores; 1X points on all other purchases Earn 50,000 bonus points after you spend $1,000 on the card and pay the annual fee in the first 90 days with the JetBlue Plus Card. $99 0% APR on eligible balance transfers that post to account within 45 days of account opening, for the first 12 billing cycles; 20.74% to 29.99% variable thereafter depending on creditworthiness 20.74% to 29.99% variable Either $5 or 5%, whichever is greater. None Excellent/Good Terms apply. We still need to wait for some more details around pricing and how the exact redemption works, but having more flexibility with your credit card points is always welcome. As part of Blue Sky, United and JetBlue will offer flights on one another's websites and mobile apps so you can book on either seamlessly. Both carriers will continue to publish and market flights independently, not a codeshare, however. United will also shift how it provides hotels, rental cars, cruises and vacation booking via its website and mobile apps, moving to services provided by JetBlue's Paisly platform.
