In temperate and sub-tropical regions of Latin America, complicated malaria manifested as hepatic dysfunction or renal dysfunction is seen in all age groups. There has been a concerted focus on understanding the patho-physiological and molecular basis of complicated malaria in children, much less is...
The availability of human genome sequence has transformed biomedical research over the past decade. However, an equivalent map for the human proteome with direct measurements of proteins and peptides does not exist yet. Here, we report a draft map of the human proteome based on high resolution Fouri...
The availability of human genome sequence has transformed biomedical research over the past decade. However, an equivalent map for the human proteome with direct measurements of proteins and peptides was lacking. To this end, Akhilesh Pandey's lab reported a draft map of the human proteome based on...
The debilitating disease kala-azar or visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is caused by the kinetoplastid protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani. The parasite is transmitted by the hematophagous sandfly vector of the genus Phlebotomus in the old world and Lutzomyia in the new world. The predominant Phlebotom...
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a class of fatty acids found in beef and dairy products, has been shown to inhibit tumorigenesis in a variety of cancer model systems. Based on previously well-documented anti-tumor activity of CLA in rodent models of breast cancer, a pilot study was initiated to exam...
