The barrier functions of the cervical mucus plugs and purified mucins against a panel of HIV-1 strains in the contexts of cell-free and cell-to-cell infections by Mhlekude, Baxolele

“…Our laboratory found that the cervical mucins—but not the crude cervical mucus plugs—isolated and purified from the mucus plugs inhibit HIV-1 infection in an in vitro cell-free inhibition assay. We aimed to characterize and compare the inhibition of cell-free and cell-associated HIV-1 strains by the crude cervical mucus plugs and purified cervical mucins. …”

Eragrostis nindensis: unravelling senescence in an African desiccation tolerant grass by Madden, Christine Frances

“…Research has been conducted into a unique group of plants, called “resurrection plants”, that can withstand up to 95% tissue water-loss without compromising viability by, inter alia, undergoing extensive metabolic reprogramming and suppressing senescence. …”

Biomolecular condensation of intrinsically disordered regions in P. falciparum and H. sapiens transcription factors by Karamanof, Leonidas Marthinus

“…The study these of so-called transcriptional condensates has so far not addressed the role of the general transcription factors (GTFs) and has not investigated the phenomenon in non-model eukaryotes such as P. falciparum. …”

Label-free proteomic analysis of Xerophyta schlechteri leaf tissue under dehydration stress by Gabier, Hawwa

“…Most higher plants cannot withstand severe water loss, except for a small group of angiosperms called resurrection plants. They can survive severe water loss without the loss of viability by employing mechanisms that aid them in desiccation tolerance. …”

Genomics of sickle cell disease and fetal hemoglobin in African populations by Esoh, Kum Kevin

“…Background More than 300,000 babies are born with sickle cell disease (SCD) each year. About 79% of these births occurs in sub-Saharan Africa where the sickle variant is known to have originated in the genetic background of the ancestors of Agriculturalist populations. …”
