Functional characterization and phenotypic monitoring of human hematopoietic stem cell expansion and differentiation of monocytes and macrophages by... (Publications)
e blood monocytes-derived from HSC-derived macrophages. To conclude, we propose that this method opens new avenues to distinguish the impact of human genetics on the dysregulated biological properties
Tuberculosis mortality and living conditions in Bern, Switzerland, 1856-1950 (Publications)
in 1856 to 33 per 100,000 in 1950, as housing conditions improved, indoor crowding decreased, and open-air schools, sanatoria, systematic tuberculin skin testing of school children and chest radiography
A qualitative appraisal of stakeholder reactions to a tool for burden of disease-based health system budgeting in Ghana (Publications)
were drawn from the national, regional, and district levels of the health system and interviewed in open-ended discussions about their reactions to DiHPART and suggestions for systems development. RESULTS:
Assessing the relationship between environmental factors and malaria vector breeding sites in Swaziland using multi-scale remotely sensed data (Publications)
with high spatial resolution has often resulted in analyses being conducted at coarse scales using open-source, archived remotely sensed data. In the present study, spatial prediction of potential breeding
Isothermal microcalorimetry accurately detects bacteria, tumorous microtissues, and parasitic worms in a label-free well-plate assay (Publications)
monitored and corresponds to a diameter increase of the microtissues from ca 100 to 428mum. This opens new research avenues in cancer research, diagnostics and development of new antitumor drugs. For parasitic

Context-dependent stimulus presentation to freely moving animals in 3D (Publications)
opportunity to track the 3D flight path of free-flying insects and process these data in real-time, opening up the possibility to present dynamic stimuli to free-flying animals. To accommodate for the increased
Quantification of self pollution from two diesel school buses using three independent methods (Publications)
balance (CMB) methods. Each bus drove along a residential route simulating stops, with windows closed or open. Particulate matter (PM) and its constituents were monitored in the bus and from a LV. We collected
Reinvestigation of the <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em> genome annotation by comparison to the genome of a related fungus: <em>Ashbya gossypii</em> (Publications)
syntenic regions leading to an improved annotation. RESULTS: We have identified 23 novel S. cerevisiae open reading frames (ORFs) as syntenic homologs of A. gossypii genes; for all but one, homologs are present
Passive immunoprotection of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>-infected mice designates the CyRPA as candidate malaria vaccine antigen (Publications)
