Probing the antimalarial mechanism of artemisinin and OZ277 (arterolane) with nonperoxidic isosteres and nitroxyl radicals (Publications)
Peroxidic antimalarials such as the semisynthetic artemisinins are critically important in the treatment of drug-resistant malaria. Nevertheless, their peroxide bond-dependent mode of action is still
Deletion in the gene BruAb2_0168 of <em>Brucella abortus</em> strains: diagnostic challenges (Publications)
Three Brucella abortus strains were isolated from joint hygromas from cows in northern Togo. Two deletions in the 5' side of the gene BruAb2_0168 were identified. As this gene is used for species iden
PolyTB: a genomic variation map for <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the second major cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide. Recent advances in DNA sequencing are leading to the ability to ge
Epigenetic memory takes center stage in the survival strategy of malaria parasites (Publications)
Malaria parasites run through a complex life cycle in the vertebrate host and mosquito vector. This not only requires tightly controlled mechanisms to govern stage-specific gene expression but also ne
Convergent methods assessing bone growth in an experimental model at dental implants in the minipig (Publications)
Implant dentistry demonstrated its reliability in treating successfully an increased amount of patients with dental implants exhibiting hydrophilic (modSLA) or non-hydrophilic (SLA) surfaces. Objectiv
Exposure of highway maintenance workers to fine particulate matter and noise (Publications)
In this study, we assessed the mixed exposure of highway maintenance workers to airborne particles, noise, and gaseous co-pollutants. The aim was to provide a better understanding of the workers' expo
Elemental composition of particulate matter and the association with lung function (Publications)
BACKGROUND:: Negative effects of long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) on lung function have been shown repeatedly. Spatial differences in the composition and toxicity of PM may explain differ
Pre-Columbian mycobacterial genomes reveal seals as a source of New World human tuberculosis [Letter] (Publications)
Modern strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from the Americas are closely related to those from Europe, supporting the assumption that human tuberculosis was introduced post-contact. This notion, how
