Cellular Mechanisms of Ototoxicity
(2018)
The auditory perception of sounds (environmental, vocal or music) is one of the 5 principal senses consciously monitored by our brains, and is crucial for many human endeavors as well as quality of life. Loss of optimal ...
Cellular and Phenotypic Plasticity in Cancer
(2015)
The process of Epithelial-Mesenchymal-Transition (EMT) is known to result in a phenotype change in cells from a proliferative state to a more invasive state. EMT has been reported to drive the metastatic spread of various ...
Advances in Genomics and Epigenomics of Social Insects
(2017)
Social insects are among the most successful and ecologically important animals on earth. The lifestyle of these insects has fascinated humans since prehistoric times. These species evolved a caste of workers that in most ...
Animal allergens: Common protein characteristics featuring their allergenicity
(2015)
Among the many molecules present in our environment, some have the property to induce allergic sensitization and IgE-mediated reactions. The analysis of known major animal allergens has shown that most belong to single ...
Animal model studies on viral infections
(2015)
Understanding viral replication and pathogenicity properties in infected individuals is a major mission of animal virology. Animal models are essential to analyze the in vivo viral characteristics and to develop countermeasures ...
Antibody Repertoire and Graft Outcome Following Solid Organ Transplantation
(2017)
The first real major breakthrough that laid the basis of HLA antibody detection in the field of solid organ transplantation, came with the introduction of the complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) test in 1964 by Terasaki ...
Antifungal Drug Discovery: New Theories and New Therapies
(2016)
Fungal infections such as candidoses can range from superficial mucous membrane infection to life-threatening systemic mycoses. Candida infections are a significant clinical problem globally due to rapid rise in compromised ...
Antibody Fc Engineering: Towards Better Therapeutics
(2018)
Monoclonal antibodies and Fc-fusion proteins used clinically are Fc-based therapeutics that grow fastest in the pharmaceutical industry. Since they both contain an Fc fragment, engineering of Fc fragments could be a platform ...
