AIC-CCMB planning trials for Chikungunya vaccine with indigenously developed mRNA technology
CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) Atal Incubation Centre (AIC) is planning to go ahead with the next stage larger-scale trials of the indigenously developed mRNA vaccine technology for tackling Chikungunya. 'Chikungunya is a serious, major debilitating disease in India and it does not yet have a vaccine. We have already demonstrated the ability to make use of mRNA technology to develop vaccines with a 'Proof of Concept' (PoC) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our lab data trials show our Chikungunya vaccine works,' disclosed AIC-CCMB chief executive officer N. Madhusudhana Rao. Results of lab experiments The lab experiments conducted on animals showed that the vaccine candidate can produce antibodies against Chikungunya proteins. The next phase will be to infect the animals and check if the virus load has decreased upon injecting the developed vaccine, he explained. The CEO said the institute had also completed initial trials into a potential mRNA vaccine to prevent tuberculosis (TB). But, to go into the next stage of animal trials and more elaborate testing, adequate funding is required, for which different options are being explored. How vaccines work? Vaccines work by preparing and training the immune system to identify disease-causing microorganisms and eliminate them quickly when the system encounters them. In mRNA technology, the host cell's immune system is trained to evade the real infection by introducing mRNA of an important protein of the microorganism of concern into the host, said Mr. Rao. Interestingly, though AIC had developed the PoC for mRNA technology in less than a year and had announced the same two years ago, it did not elicit much response from either the Indian industry or foreign collaborators. 'There were a few firms which evinced interest in making use of our mRNA technology for vaccine research. But they never came back with concrete proposals. It is an accepted fact that firms spend millions to take licenses from abroad rather than spend a few lakhs on local technology,' said Mr. Rao, a former senior scientist of the CSIR-CCMB. Comirnaty (by Pfizer) or Spikevax (by Moderna) are based on mRNA technology for COVID and found to be extremely effective. The mRNA technology is considered chemically safe with no long-term challenges. The one developed in AIC-CCMB too is based on the existing mRNA vaccine model. It is as safe as the one approved by the US Food & Drug Administration Agency and had undergone a third party quality check, affirmed the CEO. mRNA works much better on viruses and vaccines can be developed for other diseases faster. 'It is unfortunate that there are few takers for our technology, though many are trying the same through different platforms. But we want to go ahead with our trials for the potential Chikungunya and TB vaccine candidates now with different partners,' added Mr. Rao.

ED releases Rs 3.82 crore to Karnataka Waqf Board
BENGALURU: The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Bengaluru zonal office, has released properties valued at Rs 3,82,74,444 to the Karnataka Waqf Board, which was the victim of money laundering and the legitimate claimant in the Shusheela Chintamani and others case, currently under investigation by the ED. The ED stated that its investigation was on the basis of an FIR filed against two Vijaya Bank officials and Syed Siraj Ahmed, the then first division assistant with the Waqf Board. 'The Waqf Board had issued two cheques amounting to Rs 4,00,45,465 to open fixed deposit accounts at Vijaya Bank. However, instead of opening the FDs, the money was siphoned off by transferring to fictitious entities,' the ED stated. The agency added, 'Rs 4 cr was transferred to M/s Verkeys Realities Pvt Ltd, which spent Rs 1.10 cr to purchase a Mercedes car from Ghatge Motors Pvt Ltd. Rs 2,72,74,444 was transferred back to the account of M/s Ajay Sharma Trading Corp.' ED uncovered these 'illicit financial transactions and proper money trail of PoC and issued a Provisional Attachment Order of Rs 3,82,74,444'. On March 31, 2017, the ED filed a prosecution complaint before the Special PMLA Court in Bengaluru, against six individuals and entities, including Verkeys Realities. 'In line with the PMLA and its core objective of ensuring the restitution POC to the legitimate victims, the ED did not raise any objections when the Additional Sessions Judge considered the release of funds to the Karnataka State Waqf Board, which is the rightful claimant in this case,' the Central agency stated. On July 1, 2025, the ED facilitated the release of the entire amount.

Push to Talk Market Dublin, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Push to Talk Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F" report has been added to Push to Talk Market was valued at USD 35.11 Billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 63.11 Billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 10.19% The market is witnessing significant growth due to rising demand for instant, reliable communication across various sectors, including public safety, transportation, logistics, and energy. The evolution of Push to Talk Over Cellular (PoC) technology is a key factor driving this growth, as it enables broader geographic coverage, seamless integration with mobile devices, and improved communication efficiency. Enterprises are rapidly adopting PTT solutions to enhance real-time collaboration, operational efficiency, and emergency responsiveness, particularly among dispersed and mobile workforces. As digital transformation advances and remote operations expand, PTT continues to gain traction as a vital enterprise communication tool. Key Market Drivers Growing Demand for Instant and Reliable Communication in Critical IndustriesThe growing need for immediate and dependable communication in time-sensitive environments such as public safety, emergency services, and utilities is a major driver of the PTT market. These sectors rely on fast communication to ensure coordinated response and operational effectiveness. PTT systems enable users to communicate instantly at the push of a button, facilitating real-time decision-making and information sharing. This is crucial in emergency response scenarios, where delays can impact safety and outcomes. The demand for PTT solutions continues to rise as organizations recognize the operational advantages of seamless and secure voice Market Challenges Interoperability and StandardizationA core challenge in the PTT market is the lack of interoperability and standardization across platforms and devices. As organizations adopt a mix of communication systems - ranging from legacy Land Mobile Radio (LMR) to newer PoC solutions - ensuring compatibility and seamless integration becomes increasingly complex. Without uniform standards, collaboration across agencies or departments can be hindered, especially in multi-jurisdictional or multinational environments. This challenge is particularly significant for public safety agencies and large enterprises that rely on cross-platform communication. Addressing interoperability issues through industry-wide protocols is crucial to unlocking the full potential of PTT Market Trends Integration of Push to Talk Over Cellular (PoC) TechnologyA major trend shaping the PTT market is the increasing adoption of Push to Talk Over Cellular (PoC) technology. PoC uses cellular and broadband networks to deliver wide-area communication, enabling users to connect across cities, regions, or even countries. Unlike traditional LMR systems, PoC supports multimedia messaging, GPS tracking, and integration with smart devices, providing a comprehensive communication platform. This trend is particularly strong in sectors such as logistics, transportation, and public safety, where broad coverage and real-time collaboration are critical. The cost-effectiveness, scalability, and enhanced functionality of PoC are driving its rapid uptake across industries.
