Breda University: how cycling infrastructure can unlock the future of urban mobility

BREDA, Netherlands, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- New light electric vehicles (LEVs) could cut car use but they also put more cyclists at risk, according to research conducted at Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas).

As European Mobility Week closes with Car-Free Day, the Netherlands' cycling model faces a new test.

The world's blueprint for cycling

The Netherlands built the world's reference model for cycling: 28% of all trips by bike, 22 million bicycles for 18 million residents, and a 153,000-kilometre network that is increasingly studied and copied by cities worldwide.

Lower car use

Light electric vehicles - e-scooters, e-cargo bikes and fatbikes - are arriving on Dutch cycle paths in growing numbers. Research from the LEVERAGE project of BUas and partners shows the upside: in a survey of nearly 2,000 residents, a quarter are considering a small LEV soon, and three-quarters expect to drive their car less as a result. Interest spans suburban and rural areas equally, suggesting LEVs can extend cycling-based mobility beyond conventional bikes, contributing to decarbonising the wider mobility system.

It's behaviour, not the vehicle

But LEVs also bring more varied speeds and masses to the same narrow cycle paths, and safety research finds this is pushing up cycling accidents. Using eye-tracking, skin-conductance sensors and surveys with cyclists, researchers found that legal fatbikes and other LEVs draw more visual attention than ordinary bicycles. Yet this does not translate into measurable stress or unsafety, as long as LEV users behave predictably and keep to legal speeds.

"It is not the vehicle itself that creates danger, it is how it's used," says Paul van de Coevering, professor of Urban Mobility Planning at BUas. Even participants with negative prior attitudes towards LEVs reported no unsafe experiences when encountering them riding calmly. Infrastructure matters too: separated cycle paths consistently produced higher feelings of safety.

The policy fix

Enforcing behavioural standards like age limits, speed controls and predictable riding is more effective and receives more public support than banning specific vehicles. Combined with investment in well-designed infrastructure, these measures can keep the Dutch cycling model safe as it absorbs a new generation of electric vehicles.

Beactica Therapeutics initiates IND-enabling studies for BEA-17, a first-in-class LSD1-CoREST degrader for glioblastoma

Beactica Therapeutics initiates IND-enabling studies for BEA-17, a first-in-class LSD1-CoREST degrader for glioblastoma

UPPSALA, Sweden, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Beactica Therapeutics AB, a Swedish precision medicine company, today announced the initiation of IND-enabling studies for BEA-17, the Company's wholly owned, first-in-class oral degrader of the epigenetic regulators LSD1 and CoREST, being developed as a precision immunotherapy for glioblastoma (GBM). The studies advance BEA-17 from preclinical proof-of-concept into the formal safety, manufacturing and regulatory programme required to support a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) in the EU and/or an Investigational New Drug (IND) application in the US, and the start of first-in-human clinical trials.

Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive primary brain tumour, with a median overall survival of around 15 months and a standard of care that has remained essentially unchanged for more than two decades. Immunotherapies that have transformed other cancers have repeatedly failed in GBM, largely because the tumour maintains a profoundly immunosuppressive, immune-"cold" microenvironment. BEA-17 is designed to overcome this barrier: by degrading LSD1 and its scaffolding partner CoREST, BEA-17 enhances antigen presentation, induces viral mimicry and reprogrammes macrophages towards a pro-inflammatory state. In preclinical models of glioblastoma, BEA-17 in combination with standard of care substantially improved survival and produced durable tumour regression not observed with standard of care alone. BEA-17 has also potentiated anti-PD-1 checkpoint blockade in a preclinical model of colon cancer – effects not seen with catalytic LSD1 inhibitors. BEA-17 is orally bioavailable, brain-penetrant, and has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of glioblastoma.

"Initiating IND-enabling studies is a defining milestone for Beactica and for the BEA-17 programme," said Dr Per Källblad, Chief Executive Officer of Beactica Therapeutics. "With a first-in-class mechanism and compelling preclinical efficacy in combination with standard of care, we are now executing the rigorous safety and manufacturing programme that will carry BEA-17 into first-in-human trials."

The IND-enabling programme comprises GLP-compliant repeat-dose toxicology in rodent and non-rodent species, safety pharmacology, pharmacokinetic studies, and manufacture of a traceable, fully documented batch of BEA-17 drug substance suitable for a Clinical Trial Application and a finalised oral clinical trial formulation.

The work is conducted under GLIOBREAK, a 30-month project supported by a EUR 2.5 million EIC Transition grant under Horizon Europe, announced in February 2026. Beactica expects to complete the IND-enabling programme and submit a Clinical Trial Application in the EU and/or an Investigational New Drug application to the US FDA in 2027.

PharmaResearch Officially Launches REJURAN in Hungary, Expanding Its Presence in Europe

Launch symposium at the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest brings together around 100 aesthetic medicine professionals, with experts from Korea, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary sharing clinical experience

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PharmaResearch, the Korean pharmaceutical company behind the globally recognized skin booster REJURAN, officially launched its portfolio of PN (polynucleotide)-based REJURAN products in Hungary at a symposium in Budapest on September 14, marking another step in the company's continued expansion across Europe.

Held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest—one of Hungary's leading national art institutions—the symposium marked REJURAN's first collaboration with the museum and brought together approximately 100 dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other aesthetic medicine professionals. The setting provided a distinctive platform for REJURAN to present its clinical experience, treatment philosophy and scientific approach to the local medical community while reinforcing the brand's premium positioning.

The program featured seven speakers from Korea, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, including Korean REJURAN key opinion leaders Dr. Hyun Jun Park and Dr. Kyu Ho Lee. Across a series of scientific sessions, the faculty discussed the role of PN in skin regeneration, clinical applications of REJURAN and treatment approaches informed by their respective clinical experience.

The Korean faculty also presented the different applications within the REJURAN portfolio: REJURAN, designed for broader facial treatment; REJURAN I, developed for delicate areas such as the periorbital region; and REJURAN S, intended for targeted treatment of wrinkles and scars.

Live demonstrations complemented the scientific sessions, giving attendees an opportunity to observe REJURAN treatment protocols and review practical considerations for use in clinical practice.

Interest in skin quality-focused treatments continues to grow within Hungary's aesthetic medicine market alongside established injectable treatments such as botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers. As patients become increasingly informed about aesthetic procedures, demand has been shifting toward natural-looking results and treatments with limited downtime. Physicians are also showing growing interest in multimodal protocols that combine injectables with energy-based devices and other aesthetic treatments.

Following the launch, PharmaResearch will begin expanding distribution of the three REJURAN products in Hungary in partnership with its local distributor. The company plans to broaden its network of REJURAN clinics and physicians across major cities while supporting clinical adoption through product education and hands-on training.

"This launch represents more than the introduction of REJURAN to a new market," said a PharmaResearch spokesperson. "It gave us the opportunity to share the clinical experience and treatment expertise developed in Korea while engaging directly with physicians in Hungary. We will continue investing in physician education and scientific exchange as we establish REJURAN in Hungary and expand into additional European markets."

The result is a fully assembled platform that gives teams a more complete view of their business without requiring them to juggle multiple data and AI tools that don't integrate.

Through conversation, teams can define the analytical work required, select the appropriate tools and connected data, interpret the results and put the resulting workflow to work across the operation.

"What began as a conversation with your operation is becoming a new way of working within it," said Angie Judge, Chief Data and Intelligence Officer at accesso. "This is more than just a new way to analyse data. Teams can now delegate ongoing analytical work to accesso Intelligence, allowing people to focus their time on the decisions, creativity and accountability that require human judgement."

The expansion introduces three new connected capabilities:

- Agentic skills: accesso Intelligence can select and use specialised capabilities to perform multi-step analytical work, such as monitoring performance, detecting and evaluating changes and communicating issues that require attention.

- Agentic automations: Work created and refined through conversation can be scheduled or triggered repeatedly and conditionally. This can include conducting analyses, updating information and distributing results.

- Agentic reporting and forecasting: Teams can build and operationalise custom reports. The platform can determine the best predictive approach for each task, combining relevant operational context and external signals. Reports can adapt to what the data shows, rather than saying the same thing every day.

Traditional automation follows predefined steps. Agentic automation begins with an objective. accesso Intelligence determines the work required, selects the appropriate tools and connected data, interprets the results and delivers the requested outcome.

For example, an operator could ask accesso Intelligence to compare weekly visitation and revenue against plan, investigate any meaningful variance and consider relevant operational and external factors. The platform could then assess whether reforecasting is required.

From that conversation, the platform can create a repeatable workflow that monitors results, examines important changes and delivers recommendations and reasoning to the people who need them.

"The next stage of AI in attractions is not simply helping people find an answer," Judge said. "It is helping teams continuously monitor their business, recognise when conditions change and bring the right recommendation to the right person at the right time." accesso Intelligence brings data integration, industry-specific semantic modelling, machine learning, visualisation, reporting, conversational insight and workflow automation together in one platform.

The capabilities are available now within accesso Intelligence.

Attendees at IAAPA Expo Europe can learn more about accesso Intelligence and the broader accesso ecosystem at Booth S2123, 22–24 September at ExCeL London. Booth visitors can also request a complimentary personalised visitor-experience report identifying where decision intelligence could help reveal opportunities within their venue.

About accesso Intelligence

accesso Intelligence connects data across the systems that run an attraction and applies AI built on a decade of visitor attractions-specific expertise. The result is a decision intelligence platform that helps teams make faster, smarter and more confident decisions without having to build the underlying infrastructure themselves.

Power Metallic Extends Lion 25% Deeper as Power Metallic Intercepts 5.70 Meters of 14.00% CuEqRec¹ in Hole 26-125
Image File
Original HTML

TORONTO, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Power Metallic Mines Inc. (the "Company" or "Power Metallic") (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1) is pleased to provide the first assays of extensional deep drilling of assay results from its Summer 2026 drill program. Prior to the summer drill program drilling concentrated on improving the density of drill intercepts for the recently announced MRE to increase the confidence of modelling Lion, particularly within the range of a potential future open pit, and to bring the vast majority of the known deposit as of the end of the winter program (end April 2026) to Drill Indicated category.

For the summer drill program Power Metallic has carried out widely spaced exploration drilling on geological and geophysical (EM) targets and more importantly begun a program of extending the Lion deposit to depth below the outline of the MRE model. The two holes reported here are the first assays to be completed on this deep drilling.

Hole PML-26-125 is the deepest assay results to date at Lion at a vertical depth of nearly 800m vertical depth, well below the current MRE. Prior to Hole PML-26-125 The deepest reported hole intersecting the core of the Lion shoot to date (PML-25-002) intersected 1.95 metres at 7.95% CuEqRec* at approximately 610 metres vertical depth. This hole was targeted on the projected center of the Lion plunge approximately 150m below the previous deepest hole and intersected 5.7m of massive to semi-massive copper sulphides (Table 1). An earlier drill hole, PML-26-121a targeted the western side of the projected plunge of Lion at a vertical depth of nearly 650 meters and intersected disseminated to semi-massive copper sulphides. A subsequent hole (PML-26-128) tested the eastern side of the interpreted Lion plunge at nearly 900 meters vertical depth, showing disseminated and massive veinlets of copper sulphides, with assays pending (Figure 1). All three of these holes firmly established that the Lion deposit continues at depth and has not been fully delineated.

Power Metallic is expecting more assay results from the Lion deep drilling and regional exploration in the weeks to come.

Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic, commented:

We are in the unique position due to the high grade and near surface nature of our project to advance development of what the world needs in Critical Minerals, namely Copper and PGEs, but also continue our multifaceted exploration approach to allow the resource to grow substantially between now and the end of 2027. Today's results pushed us over 25% deeper than the deepest hole used in our recently announced MRE and it did so with significantly higher grades. We have visibility down over 50% deeper and visibly it looks like we are still in the Lion Zone. As we have seen with the great hit Talon Metals recently had deposits can get thicker and richer at depth. The blessing in Lion is our mineralization starts at surface and extends down making it very economic to mine and explore. We are excited to get back to exploration!

About Power Metallic Mines Inc.

Power Metallic is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing the Nisk Project Area (Nisk–Lion–Tiger)—a high–grade Copper–PGE, Nickel, gold and silver system—toward Canada's next polymetallic mine.

On 1 February 2021, Power Metallic (then Chilean Metals) secured an option to earn up to 80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (TSX–V: CRE). Following the June 2025 purchase of 313 adjoining claims (~167 km²) from Li–FT Power, the Company now controls ~330 km² and roughly 50 km of prospective basin margins.

Power Metallic is expanding mineralization at the Nisk and Lion discovery zones, evaluating the Tiger target, and exploring the enlarged land package through successive drill programs. Beyond the Nisk Project Area, Power Metallic indirectly has an interest in significant land packages in British Columbia and Chile, by its 50% share ownership position in Chilean Metals Inc., which were spun out from Power Metallic via a plan of arrangement on February 3, 2025.

It also owns 100% of Power Metallic Arabia which owns 100% interest in the Jabul Baudan exploration license in The Kingdon of Saudi Arabia's Jabal Said Belt. The property encompasses over 200 square kilometres in an area recognized for its high prospectivity for copper gold and zinc mineralization. The region is known for its massive volcanic sulfide (VMS) deposits, including the world-class Jabal Sayid mine and the promising Umm and Damad deposit.

Corvex Management requisitions general meeting to elect James Gemmel to the board of Whitbread PLC

After a year spent seeking a constructive path with the Board, Corvex is requisitioning a general meeting to appoint James Gemmel as a direct shareholder voice in the boardroom

Corvex comes with no predetermined agenda and is not demanding a sale of the company - only a rigorous, fact-based review of every strategic alternative available to Whitbread

James Gemmel has 15 years of experience engaging with public company boards and management helping shareholders unlock value

LONDON, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Corvex Management LP ("Corvex"), on behalf of funds advised by it, today delivered a notice to the Board of Directors of Whitbread PLC ("Whitbread" or the "Company") requesting that it convene a general meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing James Gemmel, a Partner at Corvex, to Whitbread's Board of Directors.

Corvex has been a shareholder in Whitbread since 2024, currently holds c. 6.4% of Whitbread's ordinary shares and has an economic interest (including such shares) in Whitbread representing approximately 7% of total shares outstanding, which it believes makes it Whitbread's largest active shareholder. It believes the Company is anchored by a unique and valuable collection of assets, including the iconic, market-leading Premier Inn brand. However, over the past decade Whitbread has delivered negative total shareholder returns and has materially underperformed its peers and the wider market on a one, three, five and ten year time horizon and the Company is currently trading at a significantly discounted multiple to its peers. In Corvex's view, the Board's recent strategy review failed to address Whitbread's underlying challenges and was poorly received by the market.

Corvex is not seeking control of Whitbread and is not demanding a sale of the Company. It is asking for a single seat on the Board, which currently has very limited shareholder alignment, to work in a collegiate and constructive manner, with no predetermined agenda, to benchmark the Company's current strategy, which has failed to deliver value for shareholders, against every credible alternative to establish a pathway that maximises value for all.

The letter, together with a presentation of supplemental materials, is available at www.unlockingwhitbread.com.

The full text of the letter follows:

September 22, 2026

To the Board of Directors, and Shareholders, of Whitbread PLC:

Today we delivered a notice to the Company requesting that it schedule a general shareholder meeting for the purpose of electing James Gemmel, a Partner at Corvex, to Whitbread's Board of Directors. James has been with Corvex since our launch in 2011 and has spent the past fifteen years conducting deep fundamental research on, and investing in, companies like Whitbread: businesses with strong fundamentals that have underperformed and are going through a period of change. Throughout, he has worked with boards and management teams to create value for all shareholders.

We have been investors in Whitbread since 2024 and currently hold c. 6.4% of Whitbread's ordinary shares and have an economic interest (including such shares) in Whitbread representing approximately 7% of total shares outstanding, which we believe makes us Whitbread's largest active shareholder. Our thesis remains largely unchanged since our initial investment: Whitbread is a unique collection of assets anchored by the iconic Premier Inn brand with a leading market position. What has changed is our growing concern with the Company's strategic direction, continued commitment to the status quo, and, in particular, the structural complexity of the business and its approach to capital allocation.

Over the past year, we have repeatedly raised these concerns with the Company and made clear our desire to work constructively with the Board, including through direct Board representation. We had hoped to reach a mutually agreeable path forward through private engagement, but the Company's limited willingness to meaningfully engage has ultimately left us with little choice but to take the action we are announcing today.

Since the sale of Costa in 2018, Whitbread has deployed ~£2.6bn of growth CapEx while delivering only ~3% EPS CAGR, a flat dividend and a ~£2.3bn increase in lease-adjusted net debt. The consequences are clear: shareholders have suffered negative total returns of approximately (17%) over the past ten years, (18%) over the past five years and (22%) over the past year, materially underperforming comparable companies and relevant indices.

We believe a fresh perspective is warranted. With the Company committing to a further ~£2.5bn of gross CapEx over the next five years, funded by ~£1.5bn of sale-leaseback financing, a commitment of this scale requires direct shareholder representation on the Board - certainly more than the ~0.04% of shares currently owned by the Board. Corvex has spent fifteen years working with boards through exactly these kinds of strategic inflection points, with members of our team having served on more than a dozen public company boards, particularly across hospitality and consumer businesses.

We intend to join this Board with no preconceived notions and no predetermined agenda - only a commitment to maximizing risk-adjusted value for all shareholders. We are not seeking control, nor are we demanding a sale of the Company. Our priority would be to fully understand the rationale, assumptions and expected returns underpinning the Company's current capital plan, and then rigorously benchmark that plan against every credible strategic, structural and operational alternative. We want the facts to determine the best path forward.

We are not looking to criticize individual directors. We want to work with the Board in a collegiate and non-adversarial way, as one member among many, bringing a direct shareholder perspective to these decisions. With no constraint on our investment horizon, we intend to act as a long-term owner. Having sought a constructive path with the Company over the past year, we are now simply exercising the rights afforded to us as a 5%+ shareholder under UK law.

James Gemmel has done this before - working constructively with incumbent boards while helping deliver meaningful value for shareholders. As a Non-Executive Director of Kindred Group and Chair of its Audit Committee, James helped steer the business through a period of significant strategic change. The Board appointed a new CEO, exited North America to refocus capital on core markets, and restored Kindred's leadership position in the newly regulated Dutch market. Following a strategic review, James led negotiations with FDJ's Chairwoman and CEO, resulting in a recommended all-cash acquisition at a 35% premium to the 30-day average share price.

Following James' appointment to the Board of MDU Resources, the company delivered a step change in profitability across all three businesses. A strategic review led to two spin-offs, a sharpened focus on improving returns in the regulated utility business, and substantial margin expansion at construction materials subsidiary Knife River. Together, these actions generated a 140% return for shareholders.

Whitbread's share price today does not reflect the value of the underlying assets; the Board's decisions over the next five years will. We therefore ask for your support in appointing James Gemmel to the Board as a mandate to evaluate change, ensuring shareholders have a direct voice in the room as those critical decisions are made.

Respectfully,

Keith Meister
