Ca2+ Binding to Calmodulin and Interactions with Enzymes

TL;DR: Multicellular organisms possess the ability to communicate in order to behave harmoniously by means of chemical messengers called second messengers, which interact with target cells on receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Field evaluation of an open and polyvalent universal HIV-1/SIVcpz/SIVgor quantitative RT-PCR assay for HIV-1 viral load monitoring in comparison to Abbott RealTime HIV-1 in Cameroon

TL;DR: Overall, this study showed that the new assay can be easily implemented in a laboratory in RLCs with VL experience and showed good performance on a wide diversity of HIV-1 group M variants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moderate rate of transmitted resistance mutations to antiretrovirals and genetic diversity in newly HIV-1 patients diagnosed in Benin.

TL;DR: This study showed a moderate primary drug resistance mutations rate and provided recent data on the HIV-1 variants that circulate in Benin and showed eight recent transmission chains revealed active ongoing transmission of HIV- 1 strains among ARV-naïve patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

High HIV burden and recent transmission chains in rural forest areas in southern Cameroon, where ancestors of HIV-1 have been identified in ape populations.

TL;DR: HIV prevalence and genetic diversity in rural forest areas in Cameroon, where chimpanzee and gorilla populations infected with the ancestors of the different HIV-1 groups have been identified and transmitted to humans during the 20th century, shows clearly that some rural areas should also be considered as hot-spots for HIV infection.

New technologies for controlling emerging infectious diseases in Guinea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo: their role in response to the Ebola epidemic

TL;DR: Ebola outbreaks in West Africa in 2014 and those in the DRC that began in 2018 were an opportunity to develop and deploy new diagnostic techniques in laboratories in Guinea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, making it possible to identify the infectious agent rapidly, to trace contamination chains in real time, and to develop a reliable serological tool for differential diagnoses.
