Effects of increasing the affinity of CarD for RNA polymerase on Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth, rRNA transcription, and virulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
CarD is an essential RNA polymerase (RNAP) interacting protein in Mycobacterium tuberculosis that stimulates formation of RNAP-promoter open complexes. CarD plays a complex role in M.

PNA Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles on TiO2 Nanotubes Biosensor for Electrochemical DNA Fragment Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This experiment investigates the development of a highly sensitive biosensor platform incorporating AuNPs with TiO2‐NTs as electrode materials. Robust PNA probes and an optimized hybridization protocol are employed to enhance performance. An appropriate level of AuNPs on the surface effectively prevents non‐specific binding of target DNA fragments ...

Mitigating domain shift in AI-based tuberculosis screening with unsupervised domain adaptation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
We demonstrate that Domain Invariant Feature Learning (DIFL) can improve the out-of-domain generalizability of a deep learning Tuberculosis screening algorithm. It is well known that state of the art deep learning algorithms often have difficulty generalizing to unseen data distributions due to "domain shift".

A Systematic Study of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Formation on Thiol‐Ene Polymers: Toward the Development of Microfluidic Bacterial Biofilm Models

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work presents a systematic characterization of an emerging polymer platform, off‐stoichiometry thiol‐ene, in terms of its ability to support the formation, growth, and metabolic activity of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. The findings indicate that thiol‐enes promote S.

Exploring prospects of novel drugs for tuberculosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Tuberculosis remains a disease with an enormous impact on public health worldwide. With the continuously increasing epidemic of drug-resistant tuberculosis, new drugs are desperately needed. However, even for the treatment of drug-sensitive tuberculosis,
