    Abstract The commonly heard aphorism about history repeating itself suggests an endless cycle of recurring events. However, George Santayana offered a similar sentiment when he said, "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it". This emphasises that the responsibility for the recurrence of events lies not with history itself, but with humanity. It underscores that if we desire change, it is our responsibility to initiate it, rather than attributing it to external forces such as fate, luck, or time. With this thought in mind, here we offer a narrative view from sub-Saharan Africa, focusing primarily on our own experiences in Nigeria and Uganda, on what harsh lessons can be learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic regarding emergency preparedness to respond effectively to the next major infectious disease outbreak. Four strategies are suggested, the implementation of which may contribute substantially to safeguarding against an experience similar to the catastrophic public health, social and economic costs borne by African nations during COVID-19 and in its immediate aftermath.

    Abstract The endogenous neuropeptide α-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH) is a potent suppressor of inflammation and has an essential role in maintaining the normal anti-inflammatory microenvironment of the retina. While the therapeutic use of α-MSH peptide in uveitis and diabetic retinopathy models has been demonstrated, its short half-life and instability limit its use as a therapeutic drug. A comparable analog, PL-8331, which has a stronger affinity to melanocortin receptors, longer half-life, and, so far, is functionally identical to α-MSH, has the potential to deliver melanocortin-based therapy. We examined the effects of PL-8331 on two mouse models of retinal disease, Experimental Autoimmune Uveoretinitis (EAU) and Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). PL-8331 therapy applied to mice with EAU suppressed EAU and preserved retinal structures. In diabetic mice, PL-8331 enhanced the survival of retinal cells and suppressed VEGF production in the retina. In addition, retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) from PL-8331-treated diabetic mice retained normal anti-inflammatory activity. The results demonstrated that the pan-melanocortin receptor agonist PL-8331 is a potent therapeutic drug to suppress inflammation, prevent retinal degeneration, and preserve the normal anti-inflammatory activity of RPE.
