The truth behind the story of neutrophil-derived ROS in promoting tumor colonization
Tumor colonization is counteracted by IL-1β-secreting tissue neutrophils.
An in situ activity assay for lysyl oxidases
Current methods for detecting activity of lysyl oxidases lack specificity and do not provide information on how much activity is occurring in situ. Hydrazide reagents can be used to measure their in situ activity levels in a practicable, sensitive, and specific manner.
Plant-like SPX-PHR-PSI regulatory cascade operates in phytoplankton
Phytoplankton are aquatic counterparts of plants, contributing 50% of CO2 drawdown and O2 production. They also are the base of the marine food chain. Like plants, their photosynthesis and growth rely on nutrients such as phosphate. How phytoplankton regulate P nutrition is poorly understood.
Two courses, PCR Bootcamp and the Nature Masterclasses online course on Managing Research Data to Unlock its Full Potential, that advanced my career and research on mosquito control blankets
In 2020, I was registered for PhD in Biomedical Sciences at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College, Tanzania. Although I was lucky to secure fees from my employer, PAMVERC, I still required additional funds that would facilitate me to attend necessary trainings and conferences.
Exploring principles that govern biodiversity: An anaerobic benzene degrading microbial community in a 15-years old bioreactor
