According to Samsung, “a small group of designers and developers from Samsung Research Institute-Bangalore, or SRI-B’s UX and wearable teams, worked round-the-clock over the last two weeks to come up with a solution that helps you keep healthy and safe" They came out the other side with Hand Wash, a Galaxy Watch app designed to remind wearers to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds.
RNA interference in animals involves small double-stranded RNA molecules called siRNA. These molecules are valuable tools for studying single gene function in both in vivo and in vitro settings and are also considered a promising class of therapeutics. SiRNA delivery systems fall into two categories: viral and non-viral, including peptides, polymers, and lipids. Studies using synthetic or plasmid-encoded siRNA show its antiviral effects against various viruses, including SARS-CoV.

BioNTech, which co-developed a revolutionary mRNA covid-19 vaccine in partnership with Pfizer, hopes to revolutionise another area of pharmaceuticals: vaccine manufacturing. It is developing vaccine factories to sit inside a series of standard metal shipping containers, which it plans to send to parts of the world that lack their own vaccine-manufacturing capabilities-notably Africa.
Each facility, BioNTech says, will be able to produce up to 60m doses of covid vaccines and other vaccines each year, and will cost "significantly less" than conventional factories. If so, this could be the future of drugmaking.
