RANBP2 is a major susceptibility factor in Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy. But is it a single protein, or are there other isoforms with distinct roles we should be studying?

A new study in JAMA has examined a rare but severe complication that can occur in children who contract the flu. This complication, called acute necrotizing encephalopathy, or ANE, carries a mortality rate of 27% despite intensive care and treatment, according to the new research. cnn.it/4lzElLI

In this piece, I reflect on how research agendas, funding structures and publishing ecosystems are dominated by a few wealthy countries, and outline concrete steps we could take to redress inequities.

#Gaza: Doctors Without Borders strongly denounces Israel’s announcement to block aid into Gaza. Humanitarian aid should never be used as a tool of war.

Regardless of negotiations between warring parties, people in Gaza still need an immediate and massive scale-up of humanitarian supplies.
