Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Proteomic analysis of the combined effects of cannabigerol and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid on kinase-dependent signalling in UVB-irradiated human keratinocytes
Phytocannabinoid CBG together with EAA, a stable, lipophilic derivative of the vitamin C, recovered human skin cells irradiated by UV light. Their effects on kinases were manifested even after 24 hours.
Effects of CBG and EAA were linked to reduced modification of keratinocyte proteins by 4-HNE.
Brazilian Rivers May Be Leaking Water into The Ground More Than Previously Realized
Measurements of water level in more than 146,000 wells across Brazil demonstrate the widespread potential for rivers to seep into the subsurface
An in-use comparative analysis of diesel, CNG, and electric buses for a small island developing state
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean face distinctive challenges due to their small size and vulnerability to climate change. SIDS also exhibit high transportation costs and car dependencies, impacting their sustainable development.
World AIDS Day 2024: Multi-level perspectives on factors that impact hypertension screening, treatment, and management among people with HIV in South Africa
Most people with HIV live in low- and middle-income countries, where less than half with high blood pressure are diagnosed, and many go untreated. Understanding the barriers and facilitators to hypertension care in these settings can help create strategies to integrate hypertension and HIV care.
