Computational and Experimental Approaches in Multi-Target Pharmacology
(2017)
The next frontier in pharmacology is the development of multi-target strategies in which pathological processes are controlled by pharmacologically manipulating them at many different points at once. Designing multi-target ...
Control of Visceral Leishmaniasis by Immunotherapeutic and Prophylactic Strategies
(2015)
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or kala-azar is the most dreadful of all forms of leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania donovani in Old World and Leishmania chagasi and/or Leishmania infantum in New World affecting millions of ...
Control of Pestivirus Infections in the Management of Wildlife Populations
(2016)
Infections with recognized and putative species of the genus pestivirus are not host-specific and are documented in many wildlife species. The study of pestivirus infections in wildlife species is important both to eradication ...
Crop Traits for Defense against Pests and Disease: Durability, Breakdown and Future Prospects
(2017)
With global populations expected to exceed 9.2 billion by 2050 and available land and water resources devoted to crop production dwindling, we face significant challenges to secure global food security. Only 12 plant species ...
Cross Talk between Lymph Node Lymphatic Endothelial Cells and T Cells in Inflammation and Cancer
(2017)
Lymphocytes constantly survey the lymph nodes in search for potential infection by a pathogen. They enter the afferent lymphatic vessel that serves as a conduit to transport the motile lymphocytes to the draining lymph ...
Current challenges in photosynthesis: From natural to artificial
