-
(Elsevier, 2022-05)The success of cancer treatment relies on the composition of the tumour microenvironment which is comprised of tumour cells, blood vessels, stromal cells, immune cells, and extracellular matrix components. Barriers to ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013-06)BACKGROUND & AIMS : Bacterial infections commonly occur in decompensated cirrhosis resulting from bacterial translocation from the intestine. We studied the role of intestinal macrophages and the epithelial barrier in ...
-
(Springer, 2015-02)INTRODUCTION : Despite the high burden of disease, there have been surprisingly few studies of the acute phase and plasma catecholamine/cortisol stress hormone responses in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-02)Developments in genomics in the last decade has improved our understanding of the role of genetics in health and disease. One area where the impact of genomics is very noticeable is in oncology, specifically in terms of ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015-02)Herein, we describe the effects of Taxol on endothelioma cell growth and migration in vitro and on vascular tumor growth in vivo. The effects of Taxol on endothelioma cell growth were determined using the crystal violet ...
-
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2016-03)Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a significant public health challenge in South Africa and worldwide, largely fuelled by the HIV epidemic. In spinal TB, Mycobacteria infect the spinal column without dissemination to ...
-
(Sage, 2020-12)Retraction of research articles is increasing but the reasons and characteristics of retractions involving authors from Africa have not been studied. Using records from the Retraction Watch database, we analyzed information ...
-
(Thieme Publishing, 2012-06)Community-acquired pneumonia remains an important cause of disease and death both in the developed and the developing worlds and therefore continues to have major medical impact. The mortality remains high despite the ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2005-10-01)Motivation: Genetic analysis of HIV-1 is important not only for vaccine development, but also to guide treatment strategies, track the emergence of new viral variants and ensure that diagnostic assays are contemporary and ...
-
(Adis, 2011-01)Streptococcus pneumoniae is the major bacterial cause of pneumonia, meningitis and otitis media and continues to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality in individuals both in the developed and developing ...
-
(Wiley, 2015-08)Kafirin, the sorghum prolamin protein, like its maize homologue zein, can be made into micropatticles and films and potentially used as a biomaterial. Zein has good bio- and cytocompatibility. Kafirin could be advantageous ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020-02)OBJECTIVES : Exposure to cigarette smoke impacts on the virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) by mechanisms including induction of biofilm formation. Most studies, however, have focused on individual strains ...
-
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2022-02)The prevalence of cardiovascular death in the HIV-infected population is higher than in uninfected individuals. Growing evidence suggests that HIV infection itself is directly linked to endothelial activation and dysfunction. ...
-
(Springer, 2020-12)Despite the success and ongoing promise of monoclonal antibody–targeted immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy of advanced malignancies, in particular, antibodies directed against CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1, the development ...
-
Cancer stem cells in head and neck carcinomas : identification and possible therapeutic implications (Springer, 2017-11)The recurrence and/or lack of response of certain tumors to radio- and chemotherapy has been attributed to a small subpopulation of cells termed cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs have been identified in many tumors (including ...
-
Cardiac troponin T as a predictor of short- and long-term mortality in community-acquired pneumonia (Wiley, 2017-07)The association between severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and a significantly heightened risk for development of an acute cardiovascular event (ACE), most commonly acute myocardial infarction, new-onset arrhythmia ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012-03)Human genetic variation in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms as well as more complex structural variations such as insertions, deletions and copy number variants, is partially responsible for the clinical ...
-
(Wiley, 2024)
-
(Elsevier, 2011-11)The pneumolysin toxoid, Δ6 PLY, is a prototype pneumococcal protein vaccine candidate. However, its potentially detrimental residual pro-inflammatory interactions with human neutrophils are unknown. In the current study ...
