Background: An HIV-1 vaccine is long overdue. Although vaccine research focuses on the induction of broadly neutralising antibodies, challenging infections such as HIV-1 could require parallel induction of protective T cells. It is important to recognise that not all T cells contribute to protection equally.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent research indicates a trade-off between silicon and carbon-based compounds in plants, with a specific focus on stress resistance and mechanical support.
  • This study examined 17 species from the Cyperaceae family, using both leaf trait measurements and advanced microscopic techniques.
  • Findings revealed that the accumulation of silicon negatively correlates with tannins and epicuticular waxes, suggesting complex strategies in plant responses to environmental stresses that previous whole-leaf analyses overlooked.

Context: Ireland has one of the most rural populations in Europe. Rurality presents challenges when accessing health services but should not be perceived as problematic and in need of a structural fix. Structural urbanism where health care is viewed as a commodity for individuals, rather than an infrastructure for populations, innately favours larger urban populations and has detrimental outcomes for rural health.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study evaluated 350 genotypes of naked barley across 13 environments, identifying various marker trait associations linked to resistance against several fungal diseases, including barley stripe rust and spot blotch.
  • * The research confirmed existing knowledge in the field and highlighted new potential sources for improving disease resistance in naked barley, revealing distinct patterns of resistance and susceptibility.

Background: Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a key modifiable risk factor for heart disease and stroke. International guidelines have highlighted 'poor adherence to treatment' and 'physician inertia' as major barriers to effective blood pressure management. The Maximising Adherence, Minimising Inertia (MIAMI) intervention, a theory-based complex intervention, supports General Practitioners (GPs) and people with hypertension in maximising medication use to manage blood pressure.
