Gene Updater: a web tool that autocorrects and updates for Excel misidentified gene names

Scientific Reports, 2022
Opening and processing gene expression data files in Excel runs into the inadvertent risk of converting gene names to dates. As pathway analysis tools rely on gene symbols to query against pathway databases, the genes that are converted to dates will not

BNT162b2 vaccine induced variant-specific immunity, safety and risk of Omicron breakthrough infection in children aged 5 to 11 years: a cohort study

Scientific Reports, 2023
There is little information on BNT162b2 vaccine-induced variant-specific immunogenicity, safety data and dynamics of breakthrough infections in pediatric populations. We addressed these questions using a prospective two dose BNT162b2 (10 mcg) vaccination

Infectious disease emergencies: role of the infectious disease specialist [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2005
The importance of infections for public health has become obvious during the last decades. Examples are emerging infections such as HIV/AIDS and severe acute respiratory syndrome, deliberate release of microorganisms, such as the anthrax episode in the USA, the increasing problems with organisms resistant to antimicrobial treatment, such as methicillin-

Reduced dengue virus pre-membrane protein-HMGB1 interaction activates host cell transcription to attenuate infection

npj Vaccines
To successfully complete an infection lifecycle, viruses have to avoid activating host antiviral and transcriptional responses to avoid disrupting cellular processes and cause premature host cell death.

Sustained Therapeutic Efficacy of Intravenous Plasminogen Concentrate in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Plasminogen Deficiency: An Analysis of Dosing Parameters and Clinical Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the PLG gene and affects approximately 1.6 individuals per million. The condition is characterized by decreased plasminogen levels and impaired function, resulting in fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes throughout the body.

Genetic diversity of the IC/3D7 allelic family of the merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) of Plasmodium falciparum and multiplicity of infection in four health facilities in the Mbouda Health District, Cameroon

Scientific Reports
The genetic variability of Plasmodium falciparum serves as an important marker of the parasite’s ability to adapt and develop resistance to antimalarial treatments. This study sought to evaluate the diversity of the P.
