During infection, the fusion peptide (FP) of HIV envelope glycoprotein (Env) serves a central role in viral fusion with the host cell. As such, the FP is highly conserved and therefore an attractive epitope for vaccine design. Here, we describe a vaccination study in non-human primates (NHPs) where glycan deletions were made on soluble HIV Env to increase FP epitope exposure.

Most of the available literature on chemical peels focuses on their role in skin rejuvenation and hyperpigmentation. There is a paucity of well-conducted studies that have compared peels in the treatment of acne scars in Asian patients.

- Research on superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) has advanced significantly in the last 20 years, thanks to improvements in key performance metrics like dark count rate and response time.
- Despite challenges in optimizing multiple parameters simultaneously, the discovery of effective detection efficiency at low temperatures has spurred interest in high transition temperature cuprate-based superconductors.
- The review explores various models of photon detection and examines the progress made using different superconducting materials, highlighting ongoing research on oxide-based superconductors and offering suggestions for performance enhancements in SNSPDs.
Background: The International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations (UN) have promoted the concept of decent work as a Sustainable Development Goal for 2030 to address critical global problems. Occupational safety and health (OSH) are components of decent work, primarily through the ILO social protection objective of the goal, and are linked to various other objectives.
Objective: This Commentary applies a previously published staging framework to stimulate thinking about how the OSH field can contribute further to the achievement of decent work.
