Remembering Tania Douglas: a brilliant biomedical engineer, academic and friend


Tributes from friends, colleagues, collaborators and students have poured in for South African academic Professor Tania Samantha Douglas, an internationally recognised scholar, biomedical engineer and innovator. She passed away on 20 March 2021.
She was admired by many and consulted broadly for her unique insights, in-depth understanding of South Africa’s higher education environment, and open-mindedness. Always vibrant, she was able to fully engage with issues in an unbiased manner – sharing her well-considered thoughts in a friendly and practical way.
Tania obtained the second highest grade in the country in her final school exams in 1987. She went on to read for a BScEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Cape Town (UCT). This was followed by an MS in Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Then came a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, and a postdoctoral fellowship in ima ....

Vitamin D may not provide protection against Covid susceptibility or severe disease, study shows


In a new study, vitamin D levels did not have an impact on Covid-19 susceptibility, severe disease or hospitalisation
Researchers analysed genetic variants of participants to find out if genetic predisposition for higher vitamin D levels could be linked to less severe infection
Based on their results, they said other therapies should be prioritised for Covid trials
From the early days of the pandemic, Vitamin D has been touted as a superstar in the fight against Covid-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. But, according to the latest study results by researchers from McGill University in Quebec, Canada, there is not enough evidence that it protects people against severe Covid disease or susceptibility. ....

UCT scientists scoop prestigious research grant to explore plant symmetry


UCT scientists scoop prestigious research grant to explore plant symmetry
Share
Cape Town - A research team of international scientists, including a University of Cape Town (UCT) professor, have been awarded a prestigious research grant from the International Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Organization.
The organisation funds international teams of scientists who wish to combine their expertise in innovative approaches to address questions related to complex mechanisms of living organisms.
Professor Nicola Illing from the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology said in the next three years the research team will investigate the genetics of how symmetry is broken in mirror image flowers of two endemic South African plants, namely Wachendorfia paniculata (commonly known as red root) and Cyanella alba (commonly known as five fingers or yellow lady’s hands), and compare it to Heteranthera multiflora, which is found across the Americas. ....

Is there enough evidence to support the role of vitamin D for Covid-19? We asked an expert


However, the study, which was not peer-reviewed, has since been retracted
Health24 spoke to a professor in nutrition science who said that further research is needed, and warned against taking high doses as a preventative
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought on a heightened fear of infection for us and our loved ones, leading us to do all we can to minimise exposure and improve our overall immunity.
But while maintaining a healthy vitamin D level can play a role in having a healthy immune system, it’s unclear whether it may help us to fight Covid-19 more effectively and quickly, as well as reduce the chances of hospitalisation – as some studies have suggested. ....
