Biomarkers for the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients
(Elsevier, 2021-07-24)
Blood culture methods show low sensitivity, so reliable non-culture diagnostic tests are needed to help clinicians with the introduction, de-escalation, and discontinuation of antifungal therapy in patients with suspected ...
CLR01 Protects Dopaminergic Neurons in Vitro and in Mouse Models of Parkinson's Disease
(Nature, 2020-09-28)
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions of patients worldwide and is characterized by alpha-synuclein aggregation in dopamine neurons. Molecular tweezers have shown high potential as anti-aggregation agents targeting ...
