First confirmed case of infant botulism in Africa, caused by a dual-toxin-producing Clostridium botulinum strain

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021
Botulism, a rare life-threatening toxemia, is probably underdiagnosed in all of its forms in Africa. This study reports the first laboratory-supported case of infant botulism on the African continent.

The QUEST for Effective and Equitable Policies to Prevent Non-communicable Diseases: Co-Production Lessons From Stakeholder Workshops

International Journal of Health Policy and Management, 2020
Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for some 90% of premature UK deaths, most being preventable. However, the systems driving NCDs are complex. This complexity can make NCD prevention strategies difficult to develop and implement.

Mechanisms and kinetic assays of aminoacyl‐tRNA synthetases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Accurate protein synthesis is crucial for life. The key players are aminoacyl‐tRNA synthetases (AARSs), which read the genetic code by pairing cognate amino acids and tRNAs. AARSs establish high amino acid selectivity by employing physicochemical limits in molecular recognition.

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...
