Researchers have shown that a novel antibody generated to target an 'essential amino acid sequence' of both interleukin-17A and F has greater activity and potentially fewer side effects than existing biological therapies for conditions such as as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The antibody, called Ab-IPL-IL-17™, targets a specific section of signalling proteins IL-17A and IL-17F which play a central role in sustaining inflammation during onset and progression of autoimmune diseases.

Of all Okinawa's remote islands you can hop to, Yonaguni might not be the first on your list, but I'm here to tell you that it is definitely one you won't want to miss. Home to untamed nature and beautiful landscapes, Yonaguni Island is known as the westernmost island of Japan. With a circumference of 27.49 kilometers and a dimension of 28.88k㎡, 'the Island on a national boundary' is the eighth largest among Okinawa's 160 islands. Getting there is a bit of a challenge, requiring two flights – Naha to Ishigaki and then to Yonaguni — or a flight and a ferry— fly from Naha to Ishigaki then ferry to Yonaguni.

BEIJING — China and the United States agreed on Monday to stabilize their intense rivalry so it does not veer into conflict, but failed to produce any major breakthrough during a rare visit to Beijing by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Chinese President Xi Jinping welcomed 'progress' after shaking hands with Blinken at the Great Hall of the People, a grand venue usually reserved for greeting heads of state. The top U.S. diplomat and Xi both stressed the importance of having a more stable relationship, as any conflict between the world's two largest economies would create global disruption.
