<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> protein kinase 5 and the malarial nuclear division cycles (Publications)
In the course of our studies on cell cycle regulation mechanisms of Plasmodium falciparum, we investigated expression pattern, kinase activity, and localization of PfPK5, a putative malarial member of
Heterochromatin protein 1 secures survival and transmission of malaria parasites (Publications)
Clonally variant expression of surface antigens allows the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to evade immune recognition during blood stage infection and secure malaria transmission. We demonstra
Risk stratification for 1-year mortality in acute heart failure: classification and regression tree analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Simple tools for risk stratification of patients with acute heart failure (AHF) are an unmet clinical need, particularly regarding long-term mortality. METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 6
Comparative genomics reveals multiple genetic backgrounds of human pathogenicity in the <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> complex (Publications)
The Trypanosoma brucei complex contains a number of subspecies with exceptionally variable life histories, including zoonotic subspecies, which are causative agents of human African trypanosomiasis (H
Inhibitory activity of marine sponge-derived natural products against parasitic protozoa (Publications)
In this study, thirteen sponge-derived terpenoids, including five linear furanoterpenes: furospinulosin-1 (1), furospinulosin-2 (2), furospongin-1 (3), furospongin-4 (4), and demethylfurospongin-4 (5)
