Curcumin Quantum Dots Mediated Degradation of Bacterial Biofilms
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Bacterial biofilm has been reported to be associated with more than 80% of bacterial infections. Curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol compound, has anti-quorum sensing activity apart from having antimicrobial action. However, its use is limited by its poor

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Interplay in the selection of fluoroquinolone resistance and bacterial fitness. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 Fluoroquinolones are antibacterial drugs that inhibit DNA Gyrase and Topoisomerase IV. These essential enzymes facilitate chromosome replication and RNA transcription by regulating chromosome supercoiling.

The KITAKANTO Medical Journal, 1963 In the field study many types of drug-resistant E. coli, Shigella and Citrobacter were isolated by this laboratory. And seven types of transmissible drug-resistance factor were obtained; R(TC) R(SM), R(CM. TC), R(SM. SA), R(CM. SM SA), R(TC. SM. SA) and R(CM. TC.SM. SA). The R(CM) factor was segregated from (CM.

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

Four decades of transmission of a multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis outbreak strain [PDF]
, 2015 The rise of drug-resistant strains is a major challenge to containing the tuberculosis (TB) pandemic. Yet, little is known about the extent of resistance in early years of chemotherapy and when transmission of resistant strains on a larger scale became a

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Clinical trials on PARP inhibitors in urothelial carcinoma (UC) showed limited efficacy and a lack of predictive biomarkers. We propose SLFN5, SLFN11, and OAS1 as UC‐specific response predictors. We suggest Talazoparib as the better PARP inhibitor for UC than Olaparib.
