This study investigates the evolution of Greenland ice sheet flux focusing on five of the main fast flowing regions (Petermann glacier, North East Greenland Ice Stream, Kangerdlugssuaq glacier, Helheim glacier and Jakobshavn glacier) in response to 20th and 21st century climate change.A hybrid (shallow ice and shallow shelf) ice-sheet model (ISM) i
Development of a Molecular Snail Xenomonitoring Assay to Detect Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma bovis Infections in their Bulinus Snail Hosts
Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease of medical and veterinary importance, transmitted through specific freshwater snail intermediate hosts, is targeted for elimination in several endemic regions in sub-Saharan Africa.Multi-disciplinary methods are required for both human and environmental diagnostics to certify schistosomiasis elimination
Strategies supporting the prevention and control of neglected tropical diseases during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract Emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases represent a public health challenge of international concern.They include a large group of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), many of which are of zoonotic nature.Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), another emerging zoonotic disease, has just increased the stakes exponentially.Most NTDs are subj
MicroRNA-34 family: a potential tumor suppressor and therapeutic candidate in cancer
Abstract MicroRNA-34 (miR-34) has been reported to be dysregulated in various human cancers and regarded as a tumor suppressive microRNA because of its synergistic effect with the well-known tumor suppressor p53.Along with the application of MRX34, the first tumor-targeted microRNA drug which based on miR-34a mimics, on phase I clinical trial (NCT0
