Professor Abdoulaye Djimdé's appointment to the UN's top science advisory board marks a historic win for African scientific leadership. His groundbreaking malaria research in Mali is now shaping global health policy.
Scientists discovered that malaria parasites contain spinning crystals powered by the same chemical reaction used in spacecraft engines. This breakthrough could lead to new life-saving drugs and inspire innovations in microscopic robotics.
Researchers discovered that malaria parasites contain tiny spinning crystals powered by the same chemical reaction used in rocket engines. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments and inspire advances in microscopic robotics.
Scientists discovered that mosquitoes in Southeast Asia evolved to prefer human blood between 2.9 and 1.6 million years ago, offering new evidence of when our ancestors first arrived in the region. This breakthrough shows how nature itself can fill gaps in the fossil record.
Two Tanzanian women scientists are pioneering next-generation malaria research that could stop the disease at its source. Their work combines field studies and lab innovation to develop mosquitoes biologically incapable of spreading malaria.
Scientists have discovered a protein that malaria parasites absolutely need to survive, opening the door to new treatments that could stop the disease without harming patients. When researchers switched off this protein in lab tests, the parasites couldn't multiply or spread.
