Improvement of experimental testing and network training conditions with genome-wide microarrays for more accurate predictions of drug gene targets [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide microarrays have been useful for predicting chemical-genetic interactions at the gene level. However, interpreting genome-wide microarray results can be overwhelming due to the vast output of gene expression data combined with off-

In vitro Antifungal Susceptibility of Agents for Superficial Phaeohyphomycosis
The selection of fungal isolates resistant to available therapy associated with an increase in the number of immunosuppressed patients has contributed to the incidence of infections caused by dematiaceous fungi. Thus, this study evaluated the therapeutic

Recent trends in molecular diagnostics of yeast infections : from PCR to NGS [PDF]
The incidence of opportunistic yeast infections in humans has been increasing over recent years. These infections are difficult to treat and diagnose, in part due to the large number and broad diversity of species that can underlie the infection.

Targeting TNBC: core–shell polycationic polyurea dendrimers with inherent anticancer activity
Core–shell polycationic PURE dendrimers were tested in TNBC‐derived tumor models. Both formulations selectively targeted TNBC and effectively reduced tumor volume. PUREG4‐OEI48 suppressed tumor growth without detectable toxicity, whereas PUREG4‐OCEI24, despite showing efficacy, induced hepatic toxicity.
