Over the past 10 years, a new class of drugs has revolutionized cancer care. These medications, known as checkpoint inhibitors, unleash an individual’s own immune system on malignant cells, offering new hope to people with cancer. Before these treatments hit the mainstream, the immune/cancer connection may not have been apparent to the average person. This relationship is central to understanding cancer development. Immunosurveillance Our immune systems play a critical role in identifying and destroying aberrant cells before they become cancerous. This protective phenomenon, known as immunosurveillance, is led by dendritic cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and cytotoxic T-cells. Cancer develops in part because these cells fail to control abnormal growth. Individuals with immune deficiencies are known to be at higher risk of cancer, especially those caused by viruses. This predisposition highlights the critical anticancer role of our immune system. Immune deficiency cannot explain

If you’re looking to master a new skill and improve your employability, you’ll no doubt be weighing up the pros and cons of home learning. Although virtual learning has historically been considered a second-rate way to study, there’s been a seismic shift in how remote learning has been viewed in recent years. Virtual learning is not just more accessible, it’s also incredibly flexible and more affordable.

The infrastructure of online learning has redefined how students can communicate with their tutors. If you’re pursuing one-on-one virtual learning, you have the benefit of immediate feedback that is completely tailored to you. Live chat functionality and email cor

Many  Africans have a wrong conception of development. We  have  been brainwashed to think of  development  only  in terms of  ‘catching up with the West .’  The problem is not in catching up, but in the fact that we seem to be catching up only with the wrong things: consuming western goods, western products, western culture, western food, western  clothes , western theories while throwing away ours. Take the case of fast-food joints and the fast rate at which they are springing up everywhere.    These food joints sell processed foods loaded with artificial spices and sweeteners. Even in the semi-rural areas, trees are being cut down to make space for the  building  of fast-food joints. Houses that were once inhabited by human beings are being turned to shops for selling of soft drinks, biscuits, snacks, bread , juices,  etc . These products have one thing in common: they are products made from wheat flour and sugar. The variety of juice drinks are enormous

Zingiber officinale is one of about 1400 species in the Zingiberaceae family of herbs.  A native  of Asia, ginger grows well in the tropical countries of the world. Ginger is widely cultivated in West Africa, especially in Nigeria and Sierra Leone. Of the over 1400 species of aromatic herbs in the Zingiberaceae family, ginger is the most powerful and the most well-known. The perennial tuberous rhizome is mistakenly referred to as root. Just as one does not call yam tuber root, so also one should not call the ginger rhizome ‘root’. The rhizome is ginger. Because of differing climatic conditions, each variety of Zingiber has its own unique aroma and flavour. Ginger grown in China is often mild in  flavour  while ginger in Africa is hot and peppery. Jamaican ginger  often  has  a powerful   aroma .  The botanical name for ginger was given by a Swedish botanist named Linnaeus. It comes from the  Sanskrit  word ‘ singabera ’, which means ‘shaped like a horn’. The
