Explanation:
:) We generally say ‘in the news’ when we want to speak about stories that are happening at the present time and are being discussed in the media.

Remicade (infliximab) and Humira (adalimumab) are both laboratory-synthesized proteins. They are different chemicals on a molecular level, but they are designed to do the same thing: block a specific immune antibody that causes inflammation in a half-dozen different autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis.
