The Toll-like receptor (TLR) adaptor protein MyD88 is integral to airway inflammatory response to microbial-enriched organic dust extract (ODE) exposures. ODE-induced airway neutrophil influx and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines was essentially abrogated in global MyD88-deficient mice, yet these mice demonstrate an increase in airway epithelia...

Sesame (locally known as simsim) production in Uganda is increasingly becoming popular because of its wide benefits. Sesame production is equally being affected by several factors including climate change. Climate change is associated with changing precipitation patterns, rising temperatures and prolonged dry spells. This manual therefore provides ...

Successful agricultural adaptation to extreme heat has the potential to avert large crop losses and improve food security. Because adaptation is costly, accurate weather forecasts have the potential to improve targeting of adaptation efforts. To understand the role of short-term (1–7 day) forecasts in reducing heat-related yield loss, we analyze a ...

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important edible food legume in the world. However, its cultivation encounters several phytopathogens. Our study aims to improve food quality and safety through more natural protection methods such as the use of microorganisms that allows us to avoid and minimize pesticide risks. For this purpose,...

El Niño is a phase in an irregular periodic variation in winds and sea surface temperatures over the Pacific Ocean. It occurs on average every 2 to 7 years and typically lasts between 9 months and 2 years. El Niño affects the global weather patterns, resulting in above-average precipitation in some places and droughts in others. Malawi and its neig...
