Le recenti iniziative assunte da alcuni Comuni della Valdinievole e le questioni emerse in merito alla gestione del servizio e ai rapporti con Ato Toscana Centro e Alia sono i temi discussi nell’incontro di ieri (9 settembre) fra l’assessore regionale all’ambiente David Barontini e i sindaci dei Comuni dell’area.

La riunione è stata l’occasione per un momento di dialogo diretto tra Regione Toscana e le amministrazioni comunali del territorio ed ha rappresentato un importante occasione di ascolto e di approfondimento.

“Ho ritenuto importante – ha spiegato l’assessore Barontini – favorire un confronto diretto fra l’amministrazione regionale e i Comuni, perché credo che sui servizi che incidono concretamente sulla vita delle comunità le istituzioni debbano partire proprio da chi ogni giorno amministra i territori. Occorre ascoltare, comprendere i problemi concreti, confrontarsi sulle possibili soluzioni e, quando ci sono le condizioni, costruire insieme percorsi condivisi”.

All’incontro, organizzato in presenza e collegamento video, hanno preso parte i rappresentanti dei Comuni di Buggiano, Chiesina Uzzanese, Lamporecchio, Larciano, Massa e Cozzile, Monsummano Terme, Montecatini Terme, Pescia, Pieve a Nievole, Ponte Buggianese e Uzzano.

Al centro del confronto ci sono state le principali criticità evidenziate dalle amministrazioni comunali sulla gestione dei rifiuti. L’incontro ha consentito di mettere a confronto le valutazioni dei Comuni e di approfondire le possibili iniziative da assumere nell’ambito di un dialogo istituzionale che sarà condiviso con i soggetti coinvolti ovvero con Ato Toscana Centro e Alia.

ELEGOO brings community together with the launch of its annual celebration, featuring the enhanced $1 Million Creator Fund, Make It Real Challenge, new model generators and special offers. 

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ELEGOO, a rapidly developing brand in global smart manufacturing, today announces ELEGOO DAY 2026, its annual celebration of the community, ideas and possibilities shaping the future of 3D printing. This year’s campaign highlights ELEGOO’s efforts to build a more connected ecosystem that helps people turn inspiration into creation and real-world impact. 

At the center of ELEGOO DAY 2026 is Nexprint, ELEGOO’s growing 3D model community and creative platform. Through creator incentives, creative challenges and model generators, Nexprint is designed to make 3D creation more accessible and help creators share, connect and grow. 

Turning 2D Inspiration into 3D Reality 

As part of ELEGOO DAY, Nexprint will launch the Make It Real Challenge from September 10 through October 30, inviting creators to transform 2D ideas, images and inspiration into 3D models. 

Without a fixed theme, the challenge encourages creators to freely explore ideas, from turning visual inspiration into decorative models to designing new creations. Creators can also use Nexprint’s upcoming Text & Image to 3D Generator, along with Vase and Nameplate Generators, to simplify the journey from concept to printable model. 

Winning creations will be announced on November 20, with selected creators eligible to receive ELEGOO coupons worth up to $300. Creators can learn more and participate through the Make It Real Challenge. Creators can also join through social media for a chance to win ELEGOO’s flagship FDM or LCD 3D printer, including the Centauri Carbon 2 Combo and Saturn 4 Ultra 16K. Full participation details are available on the ELEGOO DAY 2026 page. 

ELEGOO is also introducing an upgraded $1 Million Creator Fund, designed to recognize and reward creators for contributing models to Nexprint. Creators can earn up to $100 per model, with additional incentives bringing potential rewards up to $300. Milestone rewards, rankings and other community incentives further encourage creators to participate and grow with Nexprint. 

Extending the Impact of 3D Printing 

For ELEGOO, building an ecosystem is more than adding features to a platform. It means creating more opportunities for people to create, explore and turn ideas into reality. This philosophy also drives ELEGOO’s ongoing support for schools, young makers and nonprofit organizations worldwide. 

At Alconbury Church of England Primary School in the UK, an ELEGOO Neptune 3 Pro has supported a 3D Design & Printing Workshop, helping students develop digital design skills and apply 3D printing in STEM learning. ELEGOO will continue developing programs to support schools, educators and the next generation of creators. 

Beyond education, ELEGOO’s technology is also helping individuals and organizations create meaningful impact. British maker Luke Hedley uses ELEGOO’s Centauri Carbon 2 Combo and filament support to scale production of safety whistles that have contributed to rescue efforts, while nonprofit Manitas para TO2 in Mexico uses ELEGOO printers to produce free adaptive prosthetic arms for people in need. 

Together, these initiatives reflect ELEGOO’s broader belief that 3D printing can be a tool for creativity, accessibility and meaningful social impact. 

Celebrating the Community with ELEGOO DAY Offers 

To mark ELEGOO DAY, ELEGOO is also running a limited-time ELEGOO DAY Sale from September 8–29, with discounts of up to 54% on selected products. Popular models such as the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K, Centauri Carbon 2 Combo and Mars 5 Ultra are also included in the promotion. Offers vary by region and are available through the ELEGOO DAY Sale page. 

Looking ahead, ELEGOO will continue expanding its product and creator ecosystem, with further technology innovations and offline community activities planned for Q4. Upcoming events include New York Comic Con, Maker Faire Rome, SPIEL Essen and Formnext Frankfurt, where ELEGOO will continue engaging with creators, makers and industry communities worldwide.

Questa mattina si è tenuta la cerimonia di commemorazione all’interno del Palazzo comunale, davanti alle targhe commemorative, alla presenza del sindaco Giovanni Capecchi, per la Provincia di Pistoia del consigliere Francesco Branchetti, del Prefetto Angelo Gallo Carrabba, di alcuni membri della Giunta, dei rappresentanti delle istituzioni e delle associazioni cittadine.

Sul valore del ricordo e sulla continuità con le sfide del presente sono intervenuti il sindaco Giovanni Capecchi e il consigliere provinciale Francesco Branchetti.

“Quel 10 settembre 1944 Ione stava giocando in un cortile che conosceva bene e che l’aveva riparata durante i bombardamenti. Insieme a lei c’erano Franca e Rinaldo, partigiani. Tre persone che hanno condiviso un destino. La vita di Ione si è interrotta a soli cinque anni, vittima di un conflitto che non aveva scelto – ha sottolineato il sindaco Giovanni Capecchi. Guardare quella targa oggi significa farci una domanda precisa e inevitabile: chi è Ione nel nostro presente? Ione è in ogni bambino e in ogni bambina che soffre sotto gli orrori della guerra in Palestina; è in tutte le infanzie spezzate dalle barbarie nel mondo, travolte da violenze di cui non hanno alcuna responsabilità. Anche da questa consapevolezza nasce l’urgenza di rendere Pistoia una vera Città della Pace. I valori della nostra Costituzione e l’eredità di queste storie tragiche devono rappresentare la guida del nostro agire quotidiano. Vogliamo una città aperta, capace di ascolto e di vicinanza verso ogni persona, che non lascia indietro nessuno. Per il prossimo anno vorrei costruire questo appuntamento insieme alle bambine e ai bambini dell’età di Ione. Questa targa ha un valore importante in questo cortile, ma il nostro compito è portare la storia di queste persone al centro della città”.

“Le cicatrici che vediamo sulla cute del nostro corpo ci ricordano la nostra storia personale – ha detto il consigliere provinciale Francesco Branchetti. Queste targhe nel Cortile della Magnolia sono cicatrici della comunità pistoiese. Ricordano ferite crudeli e la morte di Ione, Franca e Rinaldo. Nel luogo sicuro, simbolo di diritto, fra le mura del Comune. Tre persone, tre vite, ma anche tre simboli. Ione è il futuro, una vita che avrebbe dovuto ancora essere vissuta; Rinaldo è la giustizia, il valore delle istituzioni. Franca è la Resistenza, il coraggio di scegliere la libertà contro la sopraffazione. Parlare per simboli è necessario perché la memoria trasforma una storia individuale in un valore collettivo. E così, attraverso Ione, Rinaldo e Franca, possiamo ancora parlare di futuro, giustizia, Resistenza e libertà. Perché ricordare il passato significa anche decidere quali valori vogliamo portare nel futuro”.

HONG KONG, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 3rd GTI Forum on Digital Intelligence • Hong Kong, themed “Openness, Sharing, Cooperation – Advancing AI Development”, was held in Hong Kong, China on September 8. 

Gao Tongqing, Chairman of GTI, stated that GTI continues to strengthen global cooperation, foster open exchange and build consensus on development priorities. Working alongside international organizations, regulators, universities and research institutions, GTI deepens cross-domain and cross-regional collaboration, advances in-depth integration of industry, academia and research worldwide, and promotes “network-intelligence integrated innovation for inclusive AI empowerment” as a global consensus. GTI deepens collaborative innovation to address key industry challenges: it has established eight open laboratories across Asia, Europe and North America, built a 6G open testbed, launched a global open innovation challenge with GSMA, and released over 50 white papers and research reports, providing practical guidance for the global industry to tackle common challenges. To contribute development insights and bridge the digital-intelligence divide, GTI put forward the Mobile Intelligence Integration Index (MI³), released the Mobile AI White Paper and the AI Security Governance Initiative, and advances the secure, trustworthy, inclusive and accessible development of AI. Globally, AI is advancing at an accelerated pace, with three core pillars—technological innovation, industrial application and governance practice—continuing to deepen. For this new stage of AI development, he put forward three proposals on behalf of GTI: 

First, jointly advance technological innovation to consolidate the foundation of AI development. GTI will rally global innovation forces across industry, academia, research and application, leverage its open laboratories and testbeds to carry out diverse cooperation such as international joint R&D and global open innovation challenges, and jointly overcome key common technical bottlenecks. 

Second, jointly expand application scenarios to unlock AI’s value potential. Adhering to a demand-driven approach, GTI will continue to identify high-value application scenarios across industries, promote in-depth integration of AI with sectors including healthcare, transportation, education and energy, and empower key links such as R&D, design and manufacturing. 

Third, jointly promote trustworthy governance to steer AI toward good. Upholding a people-centered and responsible AI philosophy, GTI will deepen international dialogue and cooperation in areas such as AI standards, security and governance. 

Li Huidi, Executive Vice President of China Mobile, pointed out that as a core founding member of GTI, China Mobile will continue to leverage GTI’s open cooperation platform to discuss AI technology evolution, industrial applications and governance pathways with all parties. Currently, AI is evolving from isolated tools to general-purpose capabilities, driving all-round transformation of productivity and social governance and reshaping the underlying logic of the information and communications industry: connectivity expands from human-machine-thing interconnection to Agent interconnection, and operation models shift from traffic-based operations to integrated “Byte+Token” operations. 

Following this trend, China Mobile continues to advance the deep integration of AI and information and communications technologies, and accelerates the coordinated evolution of communications networks, computing networks and AI networks, so that AI can better embed into networks, empower industries and serve society. As the “AI+” era unfolds, China Mobile stands ready to forge ahead hand in hand with partners from all sectors. On behalf of China Mobile, Li Huidi put forward three proposals: 

First, jointly strengthen foundational digital capabilities. The two sides will collaborate on core technologies such as large models, AI computing clusters and integrated cloud-network-compute scheduling, boost efficient coordination of communications, computing, data and models, and build secure, interconnected, open and trustworthy AI infrastructure. 

Second, co-create smart application scenarios. China Mobile will deepen efforts in diverse tracks including industry, people’s livelihood and urban development, build more benchmark applications with Hong Kong and global partners, leverage Hong Kong’s role as an international gateway and “super connector”, and advance AI services’ industry-wide coverage, inclusive access for all, and global sharing. 

Third, foster an open global ecosystem. The two sides will deepen industry-university-research-investment collaboration, build cross-border AI cooperation platforms, and jointly explore rules on cross-border data flows, algorithm security, model trustworthiness and AI Agent governance, to promote the safe, inclusive and sustainable development of artificial intelligence. 

China Mobile, together with GTI and over 20 industry partners, jointly released theGTI AI Security Governance Technology White Paper and the Security Capability System; together with GTI and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, officially launched the AI4S Scientific Workstation • International Edition (TG Science); and, together with GTI, and over 10 industry-university-research partners, jointly released the Achievement of the 6G Open Testbed: Base Station and Terminal Prototype IODT Based on The Latest 3GPP Definitions.  

The event also featured two sub-forums: Smart Transportation and Mobile AI. Gathering over 20 experts and executives from sectors including transportation, low-altitude economy, artificial intelligence, the sub-forums explored integrated development and practices of AI across sectors, driving broader and deeper expansion of “AI+” and empowering transformation and upgrading of all industries.

Deck Check AIR extends financial model and deal document review capabilities in the leading M365-native productivity platform for finance and professional services teams. 

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Macabacus, the leading M365 productivity platform for finance and professional services teams, today announced the launch of Deck Check AIR (AI Review), an AI-powered presentation review tool built directly into PowerPoint. 

With as many as 62%* of teams reporting they have shipped an AI-generated error in financial models and deal documents to clients, it has become even more critical to effectively review deal documents. Deck Check AIR uses generative AI to audit accuracy across all slides in a PowerPoint presentation, going beyond formatting to flag miscalculations and logic inconsistencies that damage credibility. It was built specifically to review complex financial documents, such as pitch books, investment committee memoranda, M&A consequences analyses, portfolio reviews, and board materials. 

“We are deploying generative AI to ensure every deal document is ticked and tied when it is shared with a client or decision maker,” said Charlie Schilling, CEO of Macabacus. “As AI is used more and more to create models and decks, we are using the same technology to minimize the risks of inconsistent or hallucinated content in high-stakes deliverables where our clients can’t afford to be wrong.” 

Deck Check AIR is embedded directly within PowerPoint, so analysts and associates are not forced into a separate tool or app and is compatible with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini models, enabling clients to use their existing LLMs to power their presentation review. This allows them to manage their token usage while keeping their data secure. Macabacus does not use client data to train its AI models, and it does not see, store, or retain any client’s intellectual property. 

Deck Check AIR is now available to add to Macabacus Enterprise license deployments.

New Macabacus report finds AI adoption has outpaced the guardrails needed to keep client-facing models and documents accurate. 

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Macabacus, the leading M365 productivity platform for finance and professional services teams, today released the report: GenAI for Financial Services: Velocity and Verification. The report finds that AI now sits at the core of model creation and client presentation development, but most firms lack the review and verification layer needed to catch AI-generated errors before they reach clients. 

Drawing on a survey of Macabacus’ 75,000 users and analysis of conversations with hundreds of clients and prospects, the report quantifies the gap between how fast AI is being adopted and how slowly firms are building guardrails to ensure their clients can trust their deal content. 

“AI is now involved in the majority of models and documents that reach clients, with 87% of firms saying they use AI daily or weekly for this work,” said Paul Ross, Chief Marketing Officer, Macabacus. “Deal teams should not slow down their use of AI. They need guardrails that let them move faster while maintaining accuracy and their clients’ trust. That is what Macabacus is built for.”

 New report, authored by GSMA Intelligence in partnership with Huawei, released at UNESCO’s Digital Learning Week 

PARIS, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — More than one in three (38%) people remains offline despite being covered by mobile broadband – and a lack of digital literacy skills is often to blame, according to new research published yesterday. 

The new report, “Bridging the Divide: Enhancing Digital Literacy in the AI Era,” authored by GSMA Intelligence and produced in collaboration with Huawei, identifies a digital divide impacting 3.1 billion people caused by a shortage of digital skills, user trust and AI literacy. 

AI raises both access and risk 

Existing industry projections suggest closing the capability gap could add around $3.5 trillion to global GDP by 2030, with more than 90% of those gains flowing to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Physical mobile broadband coverage currently reaches 96% of people worldwide. 

The report, unveiled at UNESCO’s Digital Learning Week, suggests artificial intelligence could act as both a bridge and a barrier for underserved communities. AI-powered voice assistants and applications that work with images, audio and video can all help low-literacy users bypass the need to input text. At the same time, they raise the security and critical-thinking standards required to participate safely. However, the study warns that users must now be able to understand data privacy and identify risks such as fraud and deepfakes. 

The research cites World Bank statistics that GenAI literacy represents the highest-value skill category, with wage premiums up to 36%, far exceeding returns for both digital and traditional AI skills. 

Without targeted interventions in basic digital training, the authors warn, rapid AI adoption risks entrenching existing inequalities even in areas with full network coverage. 

Mobile classrooms build skills in remote areas 

Digital inclusion initiatives typically target those most at risk of digital exclusion, including rural and remote communities, children and teachers in rural schools, older people, and women and girls. 

The report emphasizes the need for community-based delivery models, citing Huawei’s Skills on Wheels initiative as a field-tested example — particularly its solar-powered DigiTruck mobile classrooms, which bring hardware, rural connectivity and hands-on training, including AI literacy, to off-grid regions. 

Since 2019, training courses delivered by Skills on Wheels projects have reached more than 130,000 people across 21 countries, with more people benefiting indirectly. DigiTruck trainers encourage trainees to share their new skills, which is shown to occur in practice. A report on DigiTruck by Kenya’s Ministry of Information, Communications and Digital Economy shows that 79% of DigiTruck trainees surveyed had passed on their newly acquired digital skills to family members and peers. 

Policymakers urged to treat AI literacy as core infrastructure 

To bridge the usage gap, the report urges policymakers, telecom operators and technology vendors to work together and focus on four priorities： 

“Digital literacy can no longer be defined by static thresholds,” said Tim Hatt, head of research and consultancy at GSMA Intelligence. “Connectivity alone is insufficient — capabilities, system design and trust must evolve together. To capture this multi-trillion-dollar opportunity, stakeholders must integrate layered AI literacy directly into daily livelihoods through trusted community channels.” 

“Mobile classrooms have demonstrated immense value in helping underserved populations break through physical and psychological barriers to technology,” said Gavin Allen, Executive Editor-in-Chief at Huawei. “We will continue working alongside local governments and industry partners to drive digital literacy, ensuring that no one is left behind as we transition into the AI economy.” 

A new DigiTruck program will launch in France this autumn, covering several cities in the Île-de-France region and targeting low-income and underserved communities with digital skills training.

FIRENZE – Il vasto sistema temporalesco che ha interessato parte della Toscana durante la notte è transitato fuori regione. Nelle ultime 12 ore sono state registrate oltre 63mila fulminazioni nell’area della Toscana, mentre a Grosseto sono caduti 115 millimetri di pioggia dall’inizio dell’evento.

Le intense precipitazioni hanno provocato l’innalzamento dei livelli dei fiumi Salarco a Montepulciano e Bruna a Gavorrano, che hanno raggiunto il primo livello di guardia e risultano al momento stabili, con l’apertura del servizio di piena.

Sono oltre 200 gli interventi in corso da parte del sistema regionale di protezione civile e dei vigili del fuoco. Le principali criticità riguardano allagamenti localizzati nel Grossetano e anche a Cecina, alberi caduti e alcune frane sulle strade, con interventi per il ripristino della viabilità. A Reggello, a causa di infiltrazioni d’acqua in un edificio, è stata disposta un’evacuazione precauzionale, con la situazione in corso di risoluzione.

Nel corso dell’evento alcune persone sono state soccorse all’interno di sottopassi. La Regione raccomanda quindi la massima prudenza e ricorda di non attraversare mai un sottopasso allagato: anche pochi centimetri d’acqua possono essere sufficienti a bloccare un veicolo e mettere in pericolo chi si trova a bordo.

Tra la tarda mattinata e il pomeriggio è possibile una nuova intensificazione, con la formazione di temporali isolati localmente intensi, in particolare nelle zone interne della Toscana.

“Il sistema regionale è operativo e continueremo a seguire costantemente l’evoluzione dell’allerta meteo nelle prossime ore. Fenomeni repentini e concentrati a macchia di leopardo, cumulati intensi in poco tempo, sono le caratteristiche delle allerte cui ci stiamo abituando anche in Toscana a causa dei cambiamenti climatici – dichiara il presidente Eugenio Giani – Un ringraziamento va a tutte le strutture del sistema regionale che sono al lavoro per garantire assistenza ai territori interessati. A tutti i cittadini rinnovo l’invito alla massima prudenza”.

“Alcuni soccorsi effettuati nei sottopassi ci ricordano quanto sia importante non sottovalutare mai il rischio durante un temporale intenso – dichiara il sottosegretario alla presidenza Bernard Dika – Anche pochi centimetri d’acqua possono bloccare un veicolo: se un sottopasso è allagato non va attraversato. Nel rinnovare l’appello ai cittadini ad attenersi alle indicazioni di sicurezza e mantenere comportamenti responsabili, desidero ringraziare le donne e gli uomini della protezione civile, i volontari, i vigili del fuoco, le forze dell’ordine, gli enti locali, i tecnici e i gestori dei servizi essenziali impegnati sul territorio per il lavoro che stanno portando avanti. Sono possibili nuovi temporali nelle prossime ore, continuiamo a monitorare il territorio e manteniamo alta l’attenzione”.

Il libro, con un taglio memorialistico, rievoca le vicende di sei borgate sparse sulla collina pistoiese, nella valle del fiume Brana, racchiuse fra la stazione ferroviaria di Corbezzi e il paese di Uzzo, in un arco temporale compreso fra la prima metà del Novecento e l’inizio del nuovo secolo. Rievoca in particolare la vita dei suoi abitanti, una comunità contadina di cui vengono descritte tradizioni e stili di vita: dal lavoro dei campi alla cura delle greggi e alla raccolta delle castagne, dall’emigrazione stagionale degli uomini in Maremma per fare il carbone al lavoro domestico a cui contribuivano tutti i membri della famiglia, anche i più piccoli. Rievoca un mondo ormai passato, con le sue abitudini, i suoi personaggi, le vicende che hanno scandito il trascorrere dei decenni.

Franco Baldini, architetto, è nato a Corbezzi nel 1942. Insegnante all’Istituto per geometri di Rimini, ha approfondito studi storici sull’antichità, in particolare sulle origini della Rimini romana. È autore inoltre di libri che trattano di sport e di filosofia.

White Paper shows how AdJane’s clinically validated Nm-nOMV platform could add a proprietary mucosal component to existing intramuscular vaccination programs 

DELFT, The Netherlands, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AdJane Biosciences (“AdJane”), a clinical-stage next-generation vaccine platform company that focuses on enabling the development of scalable multivalent vaccines that induce both systemic and mucosal immunity, today announced the publication of a new White Paper setting out a potential new application of its Neisseria meningitidis native Outer Membrane Vesicle (“Nm-nOMV”) platform: adding mucosal boosting to established intramuscular respiratory vaccine franchises. 

The White Paper, Boosting mRNA: Mucosal Immunity and a Platform Beyond It, describes how AdJane’s Nm-nOMV technology could complement existing respiratory vaccines by adding an immune response at the mucosal surfaces where respiratory pathogens first enter the body. 

Current intramuscular respiratory vaccines have demonstrated their ability to generate strong systemic immunity and protect against severe disease. However, they generally induce limited immunity at respiratory mucosal surfaces. There is a growing body of evidence that mucosal (IgA) responses can reduce transmission at the point of entry.  AdJane believes this creates an opportunity to build on established vaccination approaches, in line with the aspiration of public health bodies to reduce infection and transmission, alongside reducing severe disease. 

AdJane’s strategy is to build on the systemic immunity established by intramuscular priming with an intranasal Nm-nOMV booster designed to induce complementary immunity at the respiratory mucosa. In this heterologous prime-boost approach, vaccine developers could retain the benefits, infrastructure and broad coverage of established respiratory vaccines while developing next-generation vaccination regimens that add a proprietary mucosal component. 

“Respiratory vaccine innovation can start from what already works: vaccines that protect millions of people,” said Anita Gashi, CEO of AdJane. “By adding an intranasal Nm-nOMV booster to established intramuscular vaccines, we aim to induce complementary immunity at the site of infection and enable next-generation vaccination regimens with a proprietary mucosal component.” 

Building on established vaccine franchises 

AdJane’s booster strategy is designed to work alongside existing respiratory vaccines. The company believes this approach could open a new development path for established respiratory vaccines by building on proven systemic vaccination with a complementary mucosal booster. 

AdJane has developed a broad intellectual property portfolio around its Nm-nOMV platform, including protection relating to the platform, manufacturing, mucosal dosing and specific vaccine applications. The company has also filed separate patent applications covering combinations of OMV technology with mRNA vaccines and respiratory vaccines. 

Initial clinical support 

AdJane’s recently completed Phase I study provides initial clinical support for the mucosal booster concept. In a post-hoc identified subset of participants who had previously received Pfizer and/or Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, subsequent intranasal administration of an Nm-nOMV vaccine displaying SARS-CoV-2 Spike was well tolerated and induced significant nasal IgA responses. 

These observations provide initial human evidence supporting the concept of heterologous systemic priming followed by intranasal Nm-nOMV boosting. Further clinical studies will be required to establish the magnitude, durability and potential clinical relevance of the additional mucosal immune response. 

While the initial clinical observations relate to individuals previously primed with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, the White Paper explores the broader potential of the approach. Limited mucosal immunity is not unique to mRNA vaccination and is a feature of many intramuscular respiratory vaccination strategies. 

Subject to further development and clinical validation, potential applications could therefore extend across COVID-19, influenza, RSV, combination respiratory vaccines and future pandemic preparedness. 

A broader platform opportunity 

The mucosal booster concept represents one application of AdJane’s broader Nm-nOMV platform. The company is developing the technology across multiple vaccine modalities and infectious-disease applications, supported by proprietary manufacturing technology and an expanding intellectual property portfolio. 

AdJane believes the combination of systemic priming and proprietary mucosal boosting with its proprietary technology could ultimately offer vaccine developers a new way to enhance existing respiratory vaccines and shape next-generation vaccination regimens. 

The White Paper, Boosting mRNA: Mucosal Immunity and a Platform Beyond It, is available at https://adjane.com/news/. 

About AdJane 

AdJane Biosciences is a clinical-stage, next-generation vaccine platform company that focuses on enabling the development of scalable multivalent vaccines that induce both systemic and mucosal immunity. AdJane’s Nm-nOMV Platform is designed for the development of scalable multivalent vaccines that induce both systemic and mucosal immunity. The platform builds on more than 30 years of Dutch vaccine research and has been clinically validated in a Phase 1 clinical trial1, in which safety, tolerability, and mucosal immunogenicity were demonstrated. Following this success, AdJane Biosciences is developing its platform further, by means of multiple programs across viral and bacterial indications to validate its breadth.
