Antibody therapies are offering promising treatment breakthroughs for cancer and other illnesses, generating greater investor interest more than 20 years after they were first commercialised. Antibodies are proteins that recognise foreign substances, known as antigens, attaching themselves to them to alert the rest of the human immune system. In 1975, scientists Georges Koehler and Cesar Milstein discovered how to produce them in a laboratory, which later earned them a Nobel Prize for medicine. Dozens of synthetic antibodies have since been developed. New antibody treatments to be used with chemotherapy have arrived on the scene in recent years. Most recently, a clinical trial of an antibody developed by pharmaceutical groups Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca caught the attention of leading cancer specialists gathered at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual congress in Chicago this month. The treatment, Enhertu, was already authorised for breast cancer patients … [Read more...] about New antibody therapies fight cancer, drum up investment

LONDON -- Major global biodiversity loss could cause enough economic damage by the end of the decade to severely cut more than half of the world's sovereign credit ratings - including China's, the first major study on the issue has warned. The research published on Thursday by a group of British universities looked a range of scenarios, including one where a partial collapse of key ecosystems savaged nature-dependent industries such as farming and fishing that some economies rely on. It estimated that the detrimental impact would result in 58% of the 26 countries studied facing at least a one notch downgrade of their sovereign credit rating. As ratings affect how much governments have to pay to borrow on the global capital markets, the downgrades would result in between $28 to $53 billion of additional interest costs annually. "The ratings impact under the partial ecosystem services collapse scenario is in many cases significant and substantial," the report said, adding that … [Read more...] about Mass biodiversity loss would slash global credit ratings, report warns

The deliberations and scrutiny of the WHO's response to the outbreak follows concerns over how the United Nations agency and governments worldwide handled Covid-19 in early 2020. A "public health emergency of international concern" is WHO's highest level of alert. The agency does not declare pandemics, but it did start using the term to describe Covid-19 in March 2020. For many governments, that - rather than WHO's earlier declaration of an emergency in January - was the moment they began to take real action to try to contain Covid, which proved to be too late to make a difference. Monkeypox does not spread nearly as easily as Covid and there are vaccines and treatments available, unlike for the coronavirus when it emerged. But it has still raised alarm. The case count from the current outbreak outside of Africa has topped 3,000 in more than 40 countries, according to a Reuters tally - largely among men who have sex with men - since it was first reported in May. There have been … [Read more...] about WHO eyes decision on monkeypox ’emergency’, Africa says it’s long overdue

Although decades have passed by, the significance of the victory will forever remain in the minds of the Vietnamese and Cambodian people as well as people around the globe. “Second father” Growing up in the time when Cambodia was facing an unprecedented genocidal disaster in human history, Cambodian Ambassador to Vietnam Chay Navuth saw mass graves when he followed his families to flee from the country. Those mass graves were evidence for the heinous crimes of Pol Pot force. The diplomat’s father was also a victim of the disaster as he was killed by the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime. “Without the support of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers, the Cambodian people, including me, could not have survived,” said Ambassador Chay Navuth. According to the ambassador, his families planned to go to Prey Veng province before fleeing to Dong Thap province of Vietnam, hoping to escape from the brutal “Angkar.” However, on learning that the Vietnamese volunteer troops entered Cambodia, his … [Read more...] about Part 3: Deep sentiment

A priceless common asset of the two peoples Since Cambodia's revolutionary and armed forces were strong and capable enough to defend the country, Vietnam withdrew its volunteer troops and advisors in 1989 under the agreement between the two parties and states, successfully fulfilling the glorious international mission in the neighboring country. After the Paris Peace Agreement in 1991 and the General Election in 1993, the Vietnam-Cambodia relationship was lifted to a new stage in accordance with the actual situation in each country. With the motto of "good neighborliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation, long-term sustainability," Vietnam-Cambodia relations have been continuously consolidated and extensively developed in all fields, of which defense cooperation is an important pillar. The first Vietnam - Cambodia Border Defense Friendship Exchange held in May 2022 vividly manifested the contribution of defense cooperation to enhancing mutual understanding and … [Read more...] about Part 4: Towards a bright future
