Article Synopsis
- A study cloned and tested 129 rice protein kinases for expression and screened 40 of them against 627 diverse kinase inhibitors using differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF).
- Out of the 37 active compounds identified, 14 significantly reduced primary root length in Arabidopsis, indicating they could inhibit root development by targeting specific receptors like PSKR1.
- Notably, compound RAF265 was found to bind both human and rice kinases, suggesting that human kinase inhibitors could be effective tools for exploring the functions of plant kinases.
Household air pollution (HAP), microenvironment and child health: Strategies for mitigating HAP exposure in urban Rwanda.

Department of Public Policy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC- CH) Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA.
Exposure to household air pollution (HAP) from cooking and heating with solid fuels is major risk factor for morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Children under five are particularly at risk for acute lower respiratory infection. We use baseline data from randomized controlled trial evaluating a household energy intervention in Gisenyi, Rwanda to investigate the role of the microenvironment as a determinant of children's HAP-related health symptoms.
