Building on work from similar species of plants used in African ethnomedicine, the research team investigated whether the medicinally active compounds in C. oligandrus could be latency-reversing agents, or LRAs, substances that reactivate latent HIV.

By isolating compounds from dried powder from the plant's bark, Drs. Tietjen, Ntie-Kang, and their teams were able to run assays designed to test whether the compounds reversed HIV latency in vitro -- a hypothesis that was confirmed for four out of six isolated compounds.

Coverage of President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Matt Gaetz to be attorney general has concentrated largely on his sex scandals and the question of whether the House Ethics Committee will release its long-awaited and probably damaging report on Gaetz’s alleged sexual encounter with an underage girl.

More importantly, the whole point of the Trump-Gaetz threat to use the DOJ against “enemies” is that investigations will be unleashed against those enemies regardless of whether they have committed any crime.

If Gaetz’s opponents fall into the trap of exclusive focus on whether he did or didn’t have sex with a high school girl and lose sight of the systemic catastrophe Gaetz as AG would cause, they may well lose this fight.
