Assessment of Clofazimine and TB47 Combination Activity against Mycobacterium abscessus Using a Bioluminescent Approach
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-02)
Mycobacterium abscessus is intrinsically resistant to most antimicrobial
agents. The emerging infections caused by M. abscessus and the lack of effective
treatment call for rapid attention. Here, we intended to construct ...
Seroprevalence of foot-and-mouth disease virus in cattle herds raised in Maasai Mara ecosystem in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2020-03)
A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) seroprevalence and identify
risk factors of exposure among cattle herds raised in three zones with different types of land use and ...
Agro-Morphological Characterization of Kenyan Slender Leaf (Crotalaria brevidens and C. ochroleuca) Accessions
(Hindawi, 2020-04)
Slender leaf (Crotalaria spp) is among the indigenous and underutilized vegetables in Kenya whose production is limited to the Western
and Coastal regions of the country. For a long time, this crop has been neglected in ...
Cervical Dysplasia, Infection, and Phylogeny of Human Papillomavirus in HIV-Infected and HIV-Uninfected Women at a Reproductive Health Clinic in Nairobi, Kenya
(Hindawi, 2020-06)
High risk human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections ultimately cause cervical cancer. Human Immunodefi
ciency Virus (HIV)
infected women often present with multiple high-risk HPV infections and are thus at a higher risk of ...

STIP1/HOP Regulates the Actin Cytoskeleton through Interactions with Actin and Changes in Actin-Binding Proteins Cofilin and Profilin
(MDPI, 2020-04)
Cell migration plays a vital role in both health and disease. It is driven by reorganization
of the actin cytoskeleton, which is regulated by actin-binding proteins cofilin and profilin.
Stress-inducible phosphoprotein ...
