A new single nucleotide polymorphism in the insulin-like growth factor I regulatory region associates with colorectal cancer risk in singapore chinese (Publications)
Elevated levels of plasma insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) are a potential risk factor for several cancers, including colorectal cancer. Physiologic levels of plasma IGF-I vary greatly; this varia
Fit genotypes and escape variants of subgroup III <em>Neisseria meningitidis</em> during three pandemics of epidemic meningitis (Publications)
The genetic variability at six polymorphic loci was examined within a global collection of 502 isolates of subgroup III, serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis. Nine "genoclouds" were identified, consisti
Isolation of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> from Swab and Fine-Needle-Aspiration Specimens (Publications)
For cultivation of Mycobacterium ulcerans from clinical specimens, we optimized the release of bacteria from swabs, as well as decontamination and cultivation on supplemented medium. Nevertheless, the
Structure-activity relationship of an ozonide carboxylic acid (OZ78) against <em>Fasciola hepatica</em> (Publications)
In this paper, we describe the SAR of ozonide carboxylic acid OZ78 (1) as the first part of our search for a trematocidal synthetic peroxide drug development candidate. We found that relatively small
Nanoparticle effects on rat alveolar epithelial cell monolayer barrier properties (Publications)
Inhaled nanoparticles have been reported to contribute to deleterious effects on human health. In this study, we investigated the effects of ultrafine ambient particulate suspensions (UAPS), polystyre
