Buruli toxin genes decoded

Buruli toxin genes decoded.

T he ancient scourges of leprosy and tuberculosis are diseases caused by mycobacteria. These afflictions remain widespread in much of the world. It is estimated that one-third of Earth’s population is infected with tuberculosis, and 2 million die of the active form of the disease annually. Tuberculosis claims the greatest number of victims of any infectious disease and has reawakened public hea...

LPN Decoded

We propose new algorithms with small memory consumption for the Learning Parity with Noise (LPN) problem, both classically and quantumly. Our goal is to predict the hardness of LPN depending on both parameters, its dimension k and its noise rate τ , as accurately as possible both in theory and practice. Therefore, we analyze our algorithms asymptotically, run experiments on medium size paramete...

Capsaicin inhibitory effects on Vibrio cholerae toxin genes expression

Objective: Cholera is an acute secretory diarrhea caused by the Gram-negative bacterium, Vibrio cholerae mostly through production of cholera toxin (CT) and zonula occludens toxin (Zot).<span style="fon...

Emergent consciousness decoded

Buruli ulcer.

Buruli ulcer, an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, is the third most prevalent mycobacteriosis, after tuberculosis and leprosy. This atypical mycobacteriosis has been reported in over 30 countries, mainly those with tropical and subtropical climates, but its epidemiology remains unclear. The first autochthonous cases of infection in Brazil have recently been described, making...
