Open Access DOI:10.23937/2643-4008/1710014 Vijay Pancholi Article Type: Brief Note | First Published: October 25, 2021 Fungal infection caused by Candida auris is now a global crisis. However, its multidrug-resistant nature and onerous identification have left limited therapeutic options resulting in 30-60% mortality. Amphotericin-B (AmB), a broad-spectrum and a potent fungicidal with a rare resistance pattern, is considered a gold-standard antifungal drug. Yet, its antifungal potential is not fully recognized under the pretext of its potential nephrotoxicity. Liposomal AmB formulations are safer than AmB-Deoxyc...

Open Access DOI:10.23937/iamm-2017/1710003 Potential of Carcinogenesis Induced by John-Cunningham Virus and Crude-Oil Extracts Shih-Chao Lin, Christopher Z Lien and Chi-Chen Lin Article Type: Short Communication | First Published: July 13, 2018 John-Cunningham virus (JCV) has been recognized as a major contributor to progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in humans, especially in immunodeficient patients. While the prevalence rate of PML in human populations could be up to 80%, the occurrence of tumorigenesis is around 0.07%. Thus, we investigated whether crude-oil extracts could synergistically increase the carcinogenesis along with T antigen from JC virus in vitro. Here we analysed the cell cycle distribution and cytotoxici...
