Therapeutic effects of whole-body devices applying pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF): a systematic literature review (Publications)
Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) delivered by whole-body mats are promoted in many countries for a wide range of therapeutic applications and for enhanced well-being. However, neither the therapeu
Cytokeratin 8 is a suitable epidermal marker during zebrafish development (Publications)
We have cloned and characterized the zebrafish (Danio rerio) homologous cytokeratin 8 (zf-K8) cDNA. This cytokeratin belongs to the gene family of intermediate filaments and it is a component of the c
Genetic diversity in mycobacterium ulcerans isolates from Ghana revealed by a newly identified locus containing a variable number of tandem repeats (Publications)
The molecular typing methods used so far for Mycobacterium ulcerans isolates have not been able to identify genetic differences among isolates from Africa. This apparent lack of genetic diversity amon

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a disease caused by an arbovirus that is spread by marsh birds, amplified by pigs, and mainly transmitted by the bite of infected Culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes. The
Peroxide bond-dependent antiplasmodial specificity of artemisinin and OZ277 (RBx11160) (Publications)
Using nonperoxidic analogs of artemisinin and OZ277 (RBx11160), the strong in vitro antiplasmodial activities of the latter two compounds were shown to be peroxide bond dependent. In contrast, the wea
