Under a joint venture agreement signed between Thermo Fisher Scientific and Innoforce, both the companies will work together to establish a biologics and steriles drug development and manufacturing facility in Hangzhou, China.

The marine invertebrate Loricifera is a rare animal that is still under-researched — only 40 species have been documented so far. A recently found genus and species of these group of animals is set to improve our understanding of the species' diversity.

The international trade exhibition Analytica China was recently held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in China. The prominent laboratory event attracted a record number of footfalls despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and also showcased more than 1,000 new products that are in line with the future trends of the industry.

The Oxford University has revealed that the efficacy of its Covid-19 vaccine AZD1222 was 90 % and 62 % in two different dose regimens respectively. It also shared that the vaccine is 70.4 % effective when combining the data from the two dosing regimens.

Scientists made use of machine learning and artificial intelligence to identify molecular signatures in the immune component of the blood which can reveal how patients with sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome are likely to respond to the conditions.

The balance of the sexes in marine turtle hatchlings may be disrupted by high sand temperatures at nesting sites around the Red Sea. Marine turtles are particularly vulnerable to temperature shifts because they demonstrate temperature-dependent sex determination, meaning that the sex of hatchlings is determined by the temperature of the nest during incubation.

Individual testing is one way to gauge how much coronavirus has spread in a community, but sampling local sewage offers a real-time take on the state of the pandemic — and possibly what to expect in the short term. A new method could contribute to such monitoring.

The Shadow Robot Dexterous Hand is a robot hand, with size, shape and movement capabilities similar to those of a human hand. To give the robotic hand the ability to learn how to manipulate objects researchers from WMG, University of Warwick, have developed new AI algorithms.

The UK has become the first country in the world to approve a Covid-19 vaccine in order to combat the global pandemic. The first doses of the vaccine developed by Pfizer-Biontech will be available to the UK immediately.
