First off the rank was a recently sold home in one of the countries wealthiest suburbs, Woollahra, in Sydney’s east.
A one-bedroom house, just moments away from the suburb’s Queen Street shopping strip, recently sold for $1.55 million.
That was even less than the $1.65 million guide for the cottage when it hit the market.
And a lot less than, $4.96 million, the median house price in Woollahra.
The prime position was the selling point for the home with listing agent Fraser Turvey of McGrath Paddington.
He pushed the fact that it is “ just minutes’ walk from Centennial Parklands and Paddington’s dining and retail offerings” and a “stroll to Edgecliff station”.
The seller also came away with a profit, having bought the home in 2015 for $1.07 million.
It’s also shown to have good investment potential.
This year it was advertised as a rental collecting $830 per week.

Meanwhile in Sydney’s inner-west a run-down one-bedroom house has sold for $1.606 million, well above its $1.2 million guide.
The tiny home, with rundown kitchen and bathroom, was being sold for its potential rather than what was behind the front door today.
For example, there was the potential to go to another level as a neighbouring house had, subject to council approval.

A deep garden at the rear of the property also lent itself to further expansion of the home.
And then there was its position in the much sought after suburb of Birchgrove, which includes large waterfront homes, charmingly restored terraces and large parks.
“It’s really one of the most prestigious suburbs on the peninsular,” selling agent Rita Lopresti of Cobden Hayson said prior to the sale.
The $1.606 million price tag may seem hefty to many, however it does come in under the median suburb house price of $3.13 million.
Plenty of potential

In Melbourne, another one-bedroom house featured in Abbotsford was snapped up before auction.
Selling agent Jodie McCarthy of JellisCraig Richmond said the home was hotly contested and sold one day before auction for $835,000.
“It was all young couples and young singles who were looking at something they could renovate,” said Ms McCarthy.

While the property was in livable condition, the opportunity to increase its value through further renovation was seen with a similar fully renovated property selling for much more recently according to Ms McCarthy.
The fully-renovated home, which included a designer kitchen and direct access to the garden through a wall of bi-fold glass doors sold for $1.075 million in March this year according to CoreLogic.
With consumers getting more selective on how and where they vacation, cruise lines are fighting for Americans’ tourist budgets. Royal Caribbean thinks shortening trips and packing the days with activities and exclusive opportunities will keep customers hooked.
“I think we are an experience-driven mindset,” Royal Caribbean CEO Jason Liberty told CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” this week. “Over half of our guests are actually millennials or younger, and when you survey those guests, about 42% of them say in the next 12 months their plans are to actually go on shorter vacation experiences.”
Onboard Royal’s Utopia of the Seas, the world’s second-largest ship with a maximum capacity of nearly 5,800 passengers, customers are welcomed to 13 pools, 21 dining options, two casinos, and much more. This is the second cruise ship Royal Caribbean is bringing to market in the span of six months. Liberty says the voracious appetite to cruise post-pandemic has not died down.
“We’re not seeing any pullback from the consumer, whether that’s planning their vacation experiences further out … [or] then on the ships, they go out and they continue to spend,” Liberty said. “There is not an area on the ship that we’ve seen a change in their spending behavior.”
To scale its business and widen its appeal, Royal Caribbean is looking at how to better compete with other types of vacations customers opt for, like skiing, casinos or theme parks.
“When we look at what our guests are doing when they’re not with us, they’re going to Orlando, they’re going to Vegas, they’re going to all-inclusive resorts,” Liberty said. “What we’re trying to do is make sure that our experience, whether on the ship or at our private islands, is something that is highly competitive with land-based vacation.”
Morningstar travel and leisure analyst Jamie Katz thinks Liberty’s strategy to get the Disney theme park traveler on board is working.
“The American traveler doesn’t always have time to take a six- to eight-day cruise due to work schedules and kids’ school calendars,” Katz said. “A three-day cruise provides customers with more options.”
Expansion plans
One of the benefits of bringing a new ship to market — you’re able to charge more.
“You’re really seeing sizable pricing premiums. Historically, pricing of a new ship is a 20% premium to existing ships across the industry,” said Patrick Scholes, travel and leisure analyst at Truist Securities.
Scholes said the Utopia price bump for Royal Caribbean could be even higher.
Liberty said he expects higher pricing to hold into the second half of the year, pointing to the “value gap” between cruises and land-based vacations.
Rival Carnival, too, has raised prices amid strong demand.
“We haven’t seen that sign of a consumer slowdown, if anything, we are seeing an acceleration,” CEO Josh Weinstein told CNBC after the company’s most recent earnings report in mid-June.
Analysts point out that cruising is one of the few areas within the travel and hospitality sector where prices continue to sharply rise. Last week, Delta Air Lines revealed softer prices compared with last year. HSBC analysts expect airfares to stay flat or decline in 2024 over 2023.
Several analysts and investors will be sailing aboard Utopia this week to better understand what differentiates the cruise ship from its competitors.
One area of interest will be the impact of cutting-edge technologies: Liberty said artificial intelligence is helping Utopia reduce food waste by 30% to 40%. The company is also using AI to help with dynamic pricing and smart management of customer data.
Beyond Utopia, there aren’t too many ships coming online from the cruise giants.
Royal Caribbean currently has the strongest order book in the industry. The company’s Icon of the Seas, the biggest cruise ship in the world with a capacity of 7,600 passengers, made a splash earlier this year.
On Royal Caribbean’s recent earnings call, executives said Icon bookings are holding strong through 2025.
“We’re entering a two- to three-year period where there are minimal number of ships coming online. Typically, the industry grows supply by 5% to 7% ever year,” Scholes said.
But building a massive cruise ship requires extensive work. Wall Street analysts estimate it takes three to five years to order and get a ship delivered.
Norwegian Cruise Line is working on bringing eight new ships to market in the next six years.
Viking Cruises, which went public earlier this year and has seen its stock trade well above its debut price, is bringing three new ocean cruise ships to market over the course of the next three years, not including its river-based ships.
You know the story: You go in for a dental checkup, lie back in the chair, and pretend you’re on a beach in the Caribbean. The hygienist pokes around while you focus on the crash of the waves and the salty air on your skin. Then, in walks the dentist, who takes one look inside your mouth and lets out a big sigh —beach fantasy over. Isn’t it time you stopped letting history repeat itself? Get yourself a better toothbrush, like the AquaSonic Black Series Smart Toothbrush. This No. 1 bestselling electric tooth scrubber is 50% off for Prime Day. It promises cleaner teeth and a whiter smile at a pretty incredible price. Plus, we even dubbed this brush the best electric toothbrush out there, so you know it’s legit!
Amazon
This smart toothbrush delivers 82,000 vibrations per minute and removes up to 10 times more buildup than an ordinary toothbrush. Clip the on-page coupon for the full discount.
For a limited time, you can score what we’re dubbing the “Ferrari” of toothbrushes for 50% off. Of course, clean, well-taken-care-of teeth can also mean a lower risk of cavities, which cost a pretty penny to fix at the dentist — so think of this as a preemptive savings, as well.
Why do I need this? 🤔
If your sensitive mouth makes eating ice cream a struggle, the AquaSonic Black Series Toothbrush has you covered. Thanks to its four brush modes, you can set it for sensitivity, deep cleaning, gum massage and even whitening. It also has a built-in 30-second timer and a two-minute auto shutoff to help you develop a better brushing routine.
With the brush, you also get an extra eight brush heads — each one should last you about three months, so eight should last you just over two years! No more shelling out piles of cash for replacement heads.
With all that in mind, one of the most annoying things about using an electric toothbrush is that you have to charge it. But this toothbrush makes it easy with its ultra-fast wireless charging. If you brush your teeth for two minutes, twice a day (morning and night), the toothbrush can last a full four weeks on one charge. And the included travel case makes it easy to bring along on your next adventure.
We know, we know: “Black Series” seems an odd moniker for something designed to clean and whiten your teeth. Embrace the irony and save 50%! (Amazon)
“I’ve had this toothbrush for two years now, and all I can say is it’s the best toothbrush I’ve ever used,” shared one impressed shopper. “The battery life is honestly so crazy, it lasts me like four to five months from each charge and I use it two to three times a day. After two years I’ve finally used all eight tips, and the fact that it has lasted me this long and I still don’t need a new one — it’s mind-blowing.”
“It’s a great value compared to the Phillips Sonicare,” wrote one convert. “The other toothbrush didn’t have consistent power and would be way too intense even on the lowest setting. With this toothbrush, you can choose the strength and it’s consistent. I’ve also noticed my teeth look much whiter and I didn’t need to use whitening gel. Also love the timing function for the different zones of the mouth I feel like I’m brushing more efficiently.”
“I switched from an Oral-B series to this,” wrote another happy customer. “At first I was nervous because the bristles were softer — no worries, this model gets the job done and is a sleek replacement that is travel-friendly [unlike] my other brush. My teeth feel clean to the tongue when I’m done.”
Cons 👎
One user lamented that the brush heads are a little small. (For some people, the petite size can be helpful for reaching all the way back.) “I love the stages you can elect to have during the brushing process. The massaging selection is really nice and not seen on many of the electric toothbrushes. But I do not like the small brush heads. It makes me feel I need to brush twice as long to get good results,” theysaid.
Some reviewers also find that the “clean” setting can feel a little rough: “Since I never really used an electric toothbrush before, the ‘clean’ setting was a little too harsh for my gums initially,” shared one. “So I was relieved that the ‘soft’ setting allowed my gums to get used to the pulsation, and then I think after about three to four weeks, I was able to jump to the clean setting, which is my regular setting when I brush my teeth now.”
Amazon
This sleek toothbrush is on mega-sale today. With a handy carrying case, it’s ideal for travel too.
CHENGDU, China, July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — “Evolving DNA-Encoded Library Technology and Its Application for Innovative Drug Discovery” webinar will be jointly hosted by HitGen Inc. and Xtalks on Wednesday July 17, 2024, at 2pm EDT (11am PDT).

SINGAPORE, July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Biosyngen, a leading biotechnology company focused on the development of innovative cell therapies, recently announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China has approved the initiation of a pivotal Phase ll clinical trial evaluating BRG01, the company’s autologous Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) specific chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, for the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic EBV-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma. BRG01 is the world’s first CAR-T therapy for solid tumor to obtain clinical trial approvals from China and the U.S. and to advance to a pivotal Phase ll clinical trial, representing a significant milestone in the field of cell-based immuno-therapies for solid cancers.
“The approval of the Phase ll clinical trial for BRG01 is a testament to the robust preclinical data and strong early clinical results observed with this innovative therapy” said Professor Zhang Li, Director of the Phase l Ward at the Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center and Deputy Director of the Lung Cancer Research Institute at Sun Yat-sen University, who is serving as the principal investigator for the BRG01 clinical trial. “BRG01 has the potential to be a first-in-class T-cell therapy for EBV-positive tumors, and we are confident in its ability to deliver meaningful clinical benefits to patients with this difficult-to-treat malignancy.”
Professor Zhang Li
The Phase l clinical trial of BRG01 in China and the U.S. has completed patient enrollment in January this year. All participants have received BRG01 infusion as part of this registered clinical trial. The Phase l study has successfully completed assessments of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and preliminary efficacy in nine patientswith advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had previously been treated with at least one immune checkpoint inhibitor, such as a PD-1antibody.
Initial data from the study have demonstrated excellent safety and encouraging signs of clinical activity, with 75% of high-dose patients experiencing local tumor shrinkage and reduced metabolic activity on PET-CT scans, and some patients achieving complete remission of their tumor lesions. Additionally, BRG01 has shown potent anti-EBV activity, with significant reductions in peripheral blood EBV viral load observed following treatment.
These findings underscore BRG01’s potential in tumor therapy and highlight its dual benefits in antiviral treatment, establishing a robust foundation for future clinical applications. These results are likely pivotal in the CDE’s decision to advance BRG01 to phase II clinical trials.
BRG01 is an autologous T cell immunotherapy product that has been engineered to express chimeric receptors targeting the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antigen on the surface of T cells. This innovative therapy represents a new generation of CAR-T cell treatment specifically designed to target EBV. BRG01 received phase I clinical trial approval from the CDE in China in December 2022 and from the FDA in the United States in February 2023. Subsequently, it was granted orphan drug designation (ODD) and fast track designation (FTD) by the FDA in June and July 2023, respectively.
At the annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) in May, Biosyngen presented preclinical research on the therapy, and the data was published as an original study in Frontiers in lmmunology. In addition, at the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma held in Switzerland in early June this year, Biosyngen’s scientist and pipeline inventor, Chair of Translational Immuno-Oncology at the University of Cologne, Professor Renata Stripecke also presented the results of preclinical research and the latest clinical data of this therapy.
The development of cell therapy drugs for hematological malignancies has seen substantial progress, yet advancements in solid tumor treatments have lagged behind. The FDA’s accelerated approval of lovance’s tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TlL) therapy, lifileucel, for the treatment of advanced melanoma in February represents a significant milestone in the commercialization of solid tumor cell therapies. This milestone has bolstered confidence among companies engaged in the development of cell therapies for solid tumors. However, overcoming the challenges posed by solid tumors requires a unique and comprehensive approach from the outset. This approach must encompass considerations regarding technology, target selection, and indication, ensuring satisfaction of clinical needs and druggability of the therapeutic interventions.
As one of the most common head and neck tumors, nasopharyngeal carcinoma – an epithelial carcinoma arising from the nasopharyngeal mucosal lining, is closely related to EBV infection. According to WHO, an estimated number of 133,000 new cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma worldwide was reported in 2020; 50% of which was diagnosed in China. South China provinces such as Guangdong and Guangxi provinces make up for more than 60% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patient population in China. Though existing practice such as immune checkpoint inhibitor has been applied in second-line treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, overall response rates were generally below 30%. In another words, more than 70% patients did not benefit from existing therapy. Therefore, it is imperative to explore new approaches to improve efficacy and satisfy unmet medical needs.
The emergence and progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. EBV has infected about 95% of population worldwide. It has been listed as Group 1 carcinogen (“Carcinogenic to humans”) by World Health Organization (WHO) and proved to be associated with a range of diseases including nasopharyngeal carcinoma, EBV-positive gastric cancers, lymphoma and lymphoproliferative diseases. Research indicates that tumor cells in nasopharyngeal carcinoma frequently exhibit EBV antigen expression, and EBV-positive tumor cells display target proteins for CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells, facilitating the infiltration of EBV-targeting CAR T cells into tumor tissue to exert a cytotoxic effect.
Leveraging this specific EBV target, CAR T-cell therapy developed by Biosyngen is also being explored for treating EBV-positive lymphoma. In April 2023, BRG01 obtained approval from the Drug Evaluation Center (CDE) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical trials in this new indication, with Phase I clinical studies currently ongoing.
Biosyngen has evolved into a biotechnology company specializing in three major cell therapies for solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, including CAR-T, TCR-T, and TIL. The company’s therapies utilizing these strategies have all been granted approvals for clinical trials, with its TCR-T and TIL therapies targeting various solid tumors such as lung and liver cancer.
“The approval of BRG01 for a pivotal Phase ll clinical trial is a major milestone for Biosyngen and underscores our commitment to developing innovative cell therapies to address significant unmet needs in solid tumors,” said Dr. Michelle Chen, Co-Founder and CEO of Biosyngen. “We plan to continue investing in research and development to expedite the clinical progress and market availability of BRG01, offering more effective treatment options for patients worldwide.”
With Biosyngen’s efficient operations and rapid research outcomes, there is optimism for significant advancements in solid tumor cell therapies within a shorter timeframe, potentially bringing new treatment possibilities and hope to patients.

Whether you’re still fleshing out your summer wardrobe or are already looking forward to autumn, there are plenty of stylish deals to go around — from Coach and Kate Spade bags to Nike sneakers and even Lululemon leggings, you’ll be dressed to the nines this season (and no one has to know you didn’t pay full price).

These No. 1 bestselling slip-on sneaks are an unexpected celeb favorite (Martha Stewart is a fan!) and don’t often go on sale — so we suggest snapping them up now. The pillowy shoes have a lightweight cushioned midsole and a removable insole that’s podiatrist-certified, so you know you’ll get the support you need.
These slimming leggings are a steal even at full price — but nabbing them at under $20 is practically criminal. They have pockets large enough to fit your phone, plus the crop ensures they won’t awkwardly bunch around your ankles. Plus, with nearly 38,000 reviews, you’re sure to be in good company.

Lululemon: Cute crop leggings for nearly $30 off, running shoes on markdown and more deals abound in the brand’s “We Made Too Much” section.
