Military spending, public debt, and economic growth in Cameroon

Sustainable Futures, 2023
This paper investigates the effect of military spending and public debt on economic growth in Cameroon over the period 1980–2021. Due to the nature of the data, the methodology involves AutoRegressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) models.

Subunit vaccine H56/CAF01 induces a population of circulating CD4 T cells that traffic into the Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected lung [PDF]

Mucosal Immunology, 2017
The capacity of CD4 T cells to protect against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is governed by their ability to localize to the lung site of infection. Subunit vaccine H56/CAF01, a liposome-adjuvanted fusion protein of Mtb antigens Ag85B, ESAT-6, and Rv2660, conferred durable protection and elicited polyfunctional CD4 T cells that preferentially ...

The multistage vaccine H56 boosts the effects of BCG to protect cynomolgus macaques against active tuberculosis and reactivation of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2012
It is estimated that one-third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Infection typically remains latent, but it can reactivate to cause clinical disease. The only vaccine, Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), is largely ineffective, and ways to enhance its efficacy are being developed.

T Cells Primed by Live Mycobacteria Versus a Tuberculosis Subunit Vaccine Exhibit Distinct Functional Properties

EBioMedicine, 2018
Despite inducing strong T cell responses, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection fails to elicit protective immune memory. As such latently infected or successfully treated Tuberculosis (TB) patients are not protected against recurrent disease. Here,

Human‐Mediated Dispersal Drives Global Invasion of Halyomorpha halys: A COI Haplotype and Mantel Test Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We assembled a global mitochondrial COI dataset of 1039 sequences from 15 countries to assess genetic diversity and test whether patterns of genetic differentiation in the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) are consistent with isolation by distance (IBD) or isolation by environment (IBE).

Evolutionary history and recombination in the mitochondrial carrier SLC25 superfamily analyzed by similarities in the exon and transmembrane α‐helix sequences

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Mitochondrial carriers (MCs), which constitute a superfamily also called the solute carrier family 25 (SLC25), are characterized by conserved signature motif sequences and a six‐transmembrane α‐helical transporter domain. They transport a wide variety of substrates ranging from protons, inorganic ions, citric acid cycle intermediates, and ...

Investigating Prime-Pull Vaccination through a Combination of Parenteral Vaccination and Intranasal Boosting

Vaccines, 2019
Formulation of inhalable delivery systems containing tuberculosis (TB) antigens to target the site of infection (lungs) have been considered for the development of subunit vaccines. Inert delivery systems such as poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) are

Investigating transthyretin variants H88R and I107V in amyloid priming: From destabilization to complete dissociation

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 15, Page 4680-4703, August 2026.
Investigated mutations in transthyretin (TTR) disrupt the F87‐centered hydrophobic core that stabilizes its tetrameric structure. The mild I107V mutation weakens inter‐chain packing, while H88R fully abolishes tetramer formation, yielding a monomeric, aggregation‐prone form. Structural, biophysical, and computational analyses reveal that both mutations
