Safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of new formulations of the <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>malaria peptide SPf66 combined with the... (Publications)
SPf66 is a synthetic malaria peptide vaccine, which has been widely tested in combination with aluminium hydroxide (alum) as the adjuvant. Since this formulation is weakly immunogenic, we sought to im
Anaerobic performance in 5- to 7-yr-old children of low birthweight (Publications)
PURPOSE: This study was intended to determine whether anaerobic muscle performance is deficient in 5- to 7-yr-old children of extremely low birthweight (ELBW, 500-999 g) and very low birthweight (VLBW

Lanosterol induces mitochondrial uncoupling and protects dopaminergic neurons from cell death in a model for Parkinson's disease (Publications)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by the selective degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway. Several lines of evidence indicate that mitochondria
