Kirov site to make French technology based vaccine against children’s infections July 07, 2015, 12:56

Nanolek, a Russian biotech company, has agreed with France’s Sanofi Pasteur, a global leader in vaccine development, on the setup of Russian-based production of a vaccine to prevent dangerous children’s diseases, Rusnano reported. The Russian nanotech giant established Nanolek as its portfolio company back in 2011.

According to the partners’ memo of understanding, Nanolek is planning to use its production site in the Kirov region some 950km north-east of Moscow in the Volga area to manufacture what’s to be called «Pentaxim," a five-component combined vaccine to protect against five infectious diseases simultaneously. These reportedly include diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio and the B-type blood-borne (hemophilia) infection.

The MoU is paving the way for Sanofi Pasteur to transfer its vaccine technology to its Russian partner.

A little video game-playing 'linked with better-adjusted children'

A new study suggests video game-playing for less than an hour a day is linked with better-adjusted children and teenagers. The research, carried out by Oxford University, found that young people who indulged in a little video game-playing were associated with being better adjusted than those who had never played or those who were on video games for three hours or more. The study finds no positive or negative effects for young people who played ‘moderately’ between one to three hours a day. However, the study, published in the journal, Pediatrics, suggests that the influence of video games on children, for good or for ill, is very small when compared with more ‘enduring’ factors, such as whether the child is from a functioning family, their school relationships, and whether they are materially deprived.
