MOSCOW – For nearly a century, visitors came to Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery to admire the perfect harmony of Russia's most famous icon: the 'Trinity', painted by Andrei Rublev in the Middle Ages. The almost 600-year-old artwork depicting three angels is one of the most recognizable Russian masterpieces in the world. Last month, however, President Vladimir Putin handed over the historic icon to the Russian Orthodox Church, the latest sign of the tightening alliance between the Kremlin and religious leaders.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo also inaugurated a special conomic zone within MNC's tourism project, which is called Lido City and located around 60 km (37 miles) south of the capital Jakarta in the Bogor area.

A surprising finding from USC reveals key details about how cancer cells metastasize and suggests new therapeutic approaches for halting their spread. The research, supported by the National Institutes of Health, centers on a cellular chaperone protein known as GRP78, which helps regulate the folding of other proteins inside cells. Previous studies from the same team, led by Amy S. Lee, PhD , professor of biochemistry and molecular medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, have shown that when cells are under stress (due to COVID-19 or cancer ), GRP78 gets hijacked, allowing viral invaders to replicate, and cancers to grow and resist treatment.

MANILA -Lending activities among large banks in the Philippines grew slower at 9.7 percent year-on-year in April from 10.2 percent in March, according to preliminary data at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. The BSP said that compared to March, bank lending 'went up marginally' by 0.6 percent in April. Growth seen in April was mainly due to expansion in lending to major industries like electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply; wholesale and retail trade, and manufacturing. 'The sustained expansion in bank lending activity suggests that domestic liquidity remains sufficient to support economic activity,' the BSP said in a statement.
