INTERACTION OF TELMISARTAN AND RELATED SARTANS WITH THE PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH-LIGAND 1 (PD-L1) PROTEIN DIMER: A MOLECULAR DOCKING ANALYSIS

Interaction of telmisartan and related sartans with the programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein dimer: a molecular docking analysis

Abstract Background Telmisartan (TLT) is a prototypic angiotensin receptor blocker largely used to treat hypertension worldwide.In addition to its cardioprotective effects, TLT presents pleiotropic activities and notably displays noticeable anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects.The repression of the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death

Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Eight Novel Loci for Susceptibility of Scrub Typhus and Highlights Immune-Related Signaling Pathways in Its Pathogenesis

Scrub typhus is a fatal zoonotic disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi.This disease is accompanied by systemic vasculitis, lymphadenopathy, headache, myalgia, and eschar.In recent studies, a novel strain that is resistant to current medical treatment was identified in Thailand.Thus, the development of new specific drugs for scrub typhus is neede

Maintenance and generation of proton motive force are both essential for expression of phenotypic antibiotic tolerance in bacteria

ABSTRACT Bacterial antibiotic tolerance, a phenomenon first observed in 1944, is known to be responsible for both onset and exacerbation of recurrent and chronic bacterial infections.The development of antibiotic tolerance was previously thought to be due to a switch to physiological dormancy when bacteria encounter adverse growth conditions.Our re
