Mammalian cell cultures as models for Mycobacterium tuberculosis-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) interaction studies: A review
Publication date: Available online 26 July 2016 Source:Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine Author(s): Walter Chingwaru, Richard H. Glashoff, Jerneja Vidmar, Petrina Kapewangolo, Samantha L. Sampson Mycobacterium tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infections have remained a major public health concern worldwide, particularly in Southern Africa. Yet our understanding of the molecular interactions between the pathogens has remained poor due to lack of suitable preclinical models for such studies. We reviewed the use, this far, of mammalian cell culture models in HIV-MTB interaction st...

Unlocking the in  vitro anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity of halophyte plants from the southern Portugal
Conclusion Our results suggest that the compounds identified in fraction 8 are likely responsible for the observed anti parasitic activity. Further research is in progress aiming to isolate and identify the specific active molecules. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the in vitro anti T. cruzi activity of halophyte species. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine)
