Four decades of transmission of a multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis outbreak strain [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Evaluating the Impact of the Tyr158 pKa on the Mechanism and Inhibition of InhA, the Enoyl-ACP Reductase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

open access: yesBiochemistry, 2023
InhA, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enoyl-ACP reductase, is a target for the tuberculosis (TB) drug isoniazid (INH). InhA inhibitors that do not require KatG activation avoid the most common mechanism of INH resistance, and there are continuing efforts ...

Action mechanism of inhibin α-subunit on the development of Sertoli cells and first wave of spermatogenesis in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Inhibin is an important marker of Sertoli cell (SC) activity in animals with impaired spermatogenesis. However, the precise relationship between inhibin and SC activity is unknown.
