Anti-protozoal and plasmodial FabI enzyme inhibiting metabolites of <em>Scrophularia lepidota</em> roots (Publications)
The ethanolic root extract of Scrophularia lepidota, an endemic plant of the Turkish flora, has been investigated for its anti-protozoal and inhibitory effect towards plasmodial enoyl-ACP reductase (F
A <em>var</em> gene promoter controls allelic exclusion of virulence genes in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> malaria (Publications)
Mono-allelic expression of gene families is used by many organisms to mediate phenotypic variation of surface proteins. In the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium falciparum, responsible for the severe f
Relationship between gender role, anger expression, thermal discomfort and sleep onset latency in women (Publications)
Background: Women with thermal discomfort from cold extremities (hands and feet; TDCE) often suffer from prolonged sleep onset latency (SOL). Suppressed anger could contribute to the genesis of both T
