Hypoxia induces an immunodominant target of tuberculosis specific T cells absent from common BCG vaccines. by Hannah Priyadarshini Gideon, Katalin Andrea Wilkinson, Tige R Rustad, Tolu Oni, Heinner Guio, Robert Andrew Kozak, David R Sherman, Graeme Meintjes, Marcel A Behr, Hans Martin Vordermeier, Douglas Brownlee Young, Robert John Wilkinson

“…In addition, the IL-2 response to Rv1986 was significantly lower in HIV-TB co-infected persons than in HIV uninfected persons, and significantly increased during antiretroviral therapy. These findings demonstrate that Rv1986 is an immunodominant target of memory T cells and is therefore of relevance when considering the partial efficacy of currently used BCG vaccines and provide evidence for a clinical trial comparing BCG strains.…”

Capturing microalgae within aerosols provides carbon capture bio-functionality by Elbaraa Elghazy, Matt M.J Davies, Nicholas T.H Farr, Cornelia Rodenburg, Jon R. Willmott, Jagroop Pandhal

“…Inspired by recent evidence that 95 % of CO2 from aerosol emissions from an Australian forest fire was captured by algae in the Southern Ocean, as well as the ability of algae to be transported within aerosols, we propose a novel technique for CO2 sequestration based on creating aerosols containing metabolically active cyanobacteria. Using aerosols as a microenvironment for Synechocystis cells enables a significant increase in gas-liquid-interfacial-surface-area while reducing the volume of water required. …”
