Overcoming the Odds: Successful Treatment of Disseminated Mucormycosis with Gastrointestinal and Jaw Involvement in a Patient with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Disseminated mucormycosis is a rare life‐threatening fungal infection that is uniquely seen in severely immunocompromised patients including those with hematological malignancies. We report a case of disseminated mucormycosis with a biopsy‐proven gastrointestinal and oral cavity involvement in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia during induction ...

A guide to changing paradigms of glucocorticoid receptor function—a model system for genome regulation and physiology

The FEBS Journal, Volume 289, Issue 19, Page 5718-5743, October 2022., 2022
The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a bona fide ligand‐regulated transcription factor. Different methodologies in the pregenomic and genomic era of molecular biological research and recent cutting‐edge technology of single‐cell and single‐molecule analysis are steadily evolving the views of GR and chromatin remodeling as well as its dynamic interaction.
