LONDON: The Czech central bank has warned it may have to raise borrowing costs if home-grown inflation risks escalate, calling investors' bets on monetary easing 'premature.' The koruna gained. Policy makers kept the benchmark rate at 7% on Wednesday, but the vote was tighter than before, with three out of seven board members seeking a quarter-point increase. Governor Ales Michl said the current policy setting was already taming domestic demand, pointing to slowing credit growth and a cooling property market.

Among the many rituals of Holy Week ('Semana Santa') are the pilgrimages, usually to mountains. In particular, traditional healers visit the mountains to gather medicinal plants, amulets (anting-anting), and charms (gayuma). On the darker side, some of the trips are made to gather ingredients to make potions for sorcery, and the same healers also gather materials to make countersorcery potions. The more popular destinations for these medicinal plants pilgrimages are Mount Banahaw and Siquijor, the latter having become a tourist come-on with a government-sponsored Healing Festival.

Conventional vaccines usually contain antigens – components of the respective pathogens – that bind to receptors on the surface of their target cells in order to trigger the disease. Scientists at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and the Max Delbrück Center have now discovered that antigen variants with low receptor binding can be advantageous for the development of vaccines. The research team has succeeded in producing a new vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus by identifying spike protein mutants that lack binding affinity.
