The expansion of human knowledge in all areas is largely the outcome of the activity of academic institutions and the result of their mission to contribute to the cultural, intellectual and economic development of the society, involving education, research and university extension activities. For many years, the academic community has been organizing itself in all different ways to respond to current and future needs, ensuring research integrity and recognition, and building on successive generations of peers to validate and support the launching and development of novel research streams. We owe the current state of research and development of our society to generations of scholars and scientists that have brought all of us here.(...)

Innovative activity of domestic organizations continues to remain low: from 2014 to 2016, there was a reduction in the cost of technological innovations, organizations prefer to import foreign equipment in order to increase the innovation component of the products sold. The way out of the situation is to conduct joint research and development projects, according to the results of which Russian organizations will have the rights to advanced development, acquire competitive competences, which will later allow our country to reduce the technological gap. The article analyzes the current state of research and development, innovation activity, the level of development of digital technologies in our country, which allows to outline the range of problems that hinder the effective implementation of joint research and development projects.

Recently, the attention has been focused on developing a wearable power assist robot by installing an actuator, such as motors, in the body and assisting and enhancing muscular power; there has been a considerable increase in research and development in some institutes and companies worldwide. Various types of wearable power assist robots have been proposed to support the upper and lower limbs, waist, and so on, which are to be used for the operational support of elderly and disabled people, nursing care work, and heavy lifting work in production sites. Some of them have been commercialized and their promotions have been advanced. Their social needs are extremely high, and there is an expectation of further improvements of assisting effect, installation performance, safety and convenience and affordability. In this paper, after the current state of research and development of this kind of robot is outlined, and our researches on pneumatic rubber artificial muscles, exoskeleton type standing motion assist devices, and wearable, lightweight, and soft power assist robots without an exoskeleton are introduced.

Engineers spend a significant amount of time searching for the right product information during the design and manufacturing process. A large amount as well as various types of product information have been generated and are available within the engineering databases. But representing and indexing the products effectively and retrieving them efficiently, remains a challenge. The purpose of this survey is to document the current state of research and development. We then identify avenues for exploration and provide a comparison of the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations among the various techniques. This survey concludes by suggesting possible future research directions.

Lactoferrin (Lf), a multifunctional glycoprotein, is an important antimicrobial and immune regulatory protein present in neutrophils and most exocrine secretions of mammals. Lactoferricin (Lfcin) is located in the N-terminal region of this protein. In this review, the current state of research into Lf and Lfcin in China is described. Searching with HistCite software in Web Sci located 118 papers published by Chinese researchers from 2011–2015, making China one of the top 3 producers of Lf research and development in the world. The biological functions of Lf and Lfcin are discussed, including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anticarcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory activities; targeted drug delivery, induction of neurocyte, osteoblast, and tenocyte growth, and possible mechanisms of action. The preparation and heterologous expression of Lf in animals, bacteria, and yeast are discussed in detail. Five Lf-related food additive factories and 9 Lf-related health food production companies are certified by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). The latest progress in the generation of transgenic livestock in China, the safety of the use of transgenic animals, and future prospects for the uses of Lf and Lfcin are also covered.

Drug repositioning – the discovery of new indications for the launched drugs – is the rapid natural response to viral infection SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. We will consider the current state of research and development of repositioned pharmaceuticals for the therapy of COVID-19 using in silico and in vitro methods.
