Is science getting too competitive? Grant applications are skyrocketing and funding rates are decreasing. Yet the article in Nature fails to mention the potential role that AI/LLMs in driving up grant applications. These low funding rates are a serious problem--they turn the entire system into a lottery. nature.com/articles/d4158…').

Thanks @kaviuon for creating a platform where African scientists are contributing to solutions for African problems like HIV. We will strive to have vaccines that are safe and effective in our local setting.
KAVI-ICR@kaviuon

We are thrilled to announce that our very own KAVI researchers, are part of a groundbreaking publication in Science! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 👏 A huge congratulations to the entire team for their dedication, innovation, and commitment to advancing science that matters!

@JumaCJ1 1. 🧬 mRNA (Moderna style)‑& mRNA Encoded Germline‑Targeting Vaccines (Nanoparticles) Approach. 2. PrEPVacc Vaccine (Eastern & Southern Africa)- halted for lack of efficacy. 3. Other novel approaches—like T-cell mosaic vaccines and gene therapy—are still in early development.

Kenya's Professor Thumbi Ndung'u is leading the trial to find a cure for HIV at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. 20% of the participants in the trial managed to suppress the virus without medication for nearly a year.

Retroviral genomes are translated after entry, challenging the notion that retroviruses require reverse transcription to produce viral proteins, which has significant implications for basic retrovirology, immune responses and gene therapy applications nature.com/articles/s4146…

A new NIAID study shows strong responses from immune cells called CD8+ T cells may play a key role in an effective #HIV vaccine. This study could guide future preventive and therapeutic HIV vaccine design and development. Read more: brnw.ch/21wFymZ 🔗

Lab tests show 1 in every 5 people has one organ with accelerated aging. Identifying such cases can help predict future health. This will inform timely corrective habits. Hopefully these lab tests will be readily available soon. nature.com/articles/s4158…

GDF15 might be the cause of morning sickness in pregnancy. The role of this protein has been elusive. A new study suggests blocking it could provide a long awaited relief for pregnant women. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Interesting groundbreaking stuff showing how cells adapt to stressful conditions. They deprioritize their professional roles and invest on survival. I wonder how this extends to human societies when people are stressed..
Constantine Tzouanas@constantine_sci

Under stress, hepatocytes increase genes that promote survival (e.g., anti-apoptosis, WNT), but decrease genes related to professional roles (e.g., metabolic enzymes, secreted proteins, lineage-determining transcription factors; see text for drug targets like FXR and THRB!) (4/n)

On this day in 1977, Fred Sanger published the first paper demonstrating "Sanger sequencing", opening the doors to read DNA and earning him a 1980 Nobel prize. Absolutely revolutionary work🫡 The first Sanger sequencing image. Figure 1, PNAS 74:5463:5467 1977

Some parasites cause painless skin sores. Do they achieve this by producing painkillers to avoid treatment? Can such parasites teach us how to kill pain in the future? Some recent research on leishmaniasis suggests so. doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…
