Redeem Pastor, wife and eight others die in auto crash

A zonal Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Dominic Folorunso Akinseye, his wife, Beatrice and eight others all lost their lives in an auto crash that occurred along the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway while they were heading to their home in Ondo after attending the church's monthly vigil service at the Redemption camp on May 1st.

According to Vanguard, Pastor Akinseye, his wife and one of the victims, Pastor Festus Akinsoyinu Fadakinte, were all staff of the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo.

All victims of the accident were on their way back to Ondo state to attend a wedding when the Toyota bus belonging to the NASU Chapter of the college which they were traveling in rammed into a stationed trailer at Kajola village near Ore, killing all of them on the spot. It took a combined effort of some members of the church who were coming back to Ondo state as well as passersby to remove their mangled bodies from the scene of the incident.

Many believed that poor visibility might have been the cause of the accident. The couple who are both officials of the Non- Academic Staff Union, NASU, of the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo have since been buried. May their souls rest in peace‎

Cell-Associated HIV Transmission Contributes To HIV Epidemic

Dr. Deborah Anderson from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and her colleagues are challenging dogma about the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Most research has focused on infection by free viral particles, while this group proposes that HIV is also transmitted by infected cells. While inside cells, HIV is protected from antibodies and other antiviral factors, and cell-to-cell virus transmission occurs very efficiently through intercellular synapses. The Journal of Infectious Diseases (JID) has devoted their December supplement to this important and understudied topic. The 10 articles, four from researchers at BUSM, present the case for cell-associated HIV transmission as an important element contributing to the HIV epidemic. Anderson chides fellow researchers for not using cell-associated HIV in their transmission models: "The failure of several recent vaccine and microbicide clinical trials to prevent HIV transmission may be due in p...
