 | | |  Evolution of malaria protein family offers new drug targets Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute and the Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine (GIMM) have shown that the evolution of a family of exported proteins in the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium falciparum enabled it to infect humans. | | | | |  Why a major hydroxychloroquine study was retracted over statistical misuse Researchers reanalyzed a retracted HCQ study that claimed over 16,000 COVID-19 deaths and exposed serious methodological flaws, including inappropriate use of effect sizes and lack of dose-specific analysis. The study calls for urgent reform in peer review and greater transparency in scientific publishing. | |

| | | | |  Tens of millions of people in Africa are infected by parasitic worms that cause lymphatic filariasis (also called elephantiasis), a disease that leads to severe swelling and deformities of the limbs and genitals. | | | | |  Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered how a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can hide from the body's immune system, sometimes for years. | | | | |  A multidisciplinary team of researchers from the USC School of Advanced Computing and the Keck School of Medicine, working alongside experts from the Microsoft AI for Good Lab, Amref Health Africa, and Kenya's Ministry of Health, has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict acute child malnutrition in Kenya up to six months in advance. | | | | |  The World Health Organization (WHO) and Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) have today announced a sublicensing agreement between MPP and a Nigerian health technology company – Codix Bio – to start development and manufacturing of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) using technology transferred from global in-vitro diagnostics company – SD Biosensor (SDB). | | | | |  Explore cutting-edge methods for detecting alcohol biomarkers and drugs of abuse using alternative sample matrices. | |
