Representation of authors and editors from countries with different human development indexes in the leading literature on tropical medicine: survey... (Publications)
accounted for 5.0%. Our data indicate that research collaborations between a country with a high human development index and one that has either a medium or a low index are common and account for 26.5% and 16 [...] full articles published in the six leading journals on tropical medicine in 2000-2. RESULTS: Sixteen (5.1%) of the 315 editorial and advisory board members from the 12 ISI referenced journals on tropical
Estrogen-progestin replacement therapy and endometrial cancer (Publications)

Inhibitors of PEX14 disrupt protein import into glycosomes and kill <em>Trypanosoma</em> parasites (Publications)
glycosomal/peroxisomal import that depends on the PEX14-PEX5 protein-protein interaction. We developed small molecules that efficiently disrupt the PEX14-PEX5 interaction. This results in mislocalization of glycosomal
