Unresponsiveness to Glucantime treatment in Iranian cutaneous leishmaniasis due to drug-resistant Leishmania tropica parasites.
TL;DR: This is the first report of proven resistant parasites contributing to treatment failure for cutaneous leishmaniasis and shows that primary Glucantime-resistant L. tropica field isolates are now frequent in Iran.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucantime-resistant Leishmania tropica isolated from Iranian patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis are sensitive to alternative antileishmania drugs

TL;DR: It is shown that these resistant parasites are cross-resistant to the other SbV-containing drug Pentostam and at least for one isolate also to amphotericin B, and the latter two drugs could thus be useful alternatives for the treatment of leishmaniasis in Iran even for S bV-resistant isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleotide-Resolution Mapping of Topoisomerase-Mediated and Apoptotic DNA Strand Scissions at or near an MLL Translocation Hotspot
TL;DR: This work reports the first genomic map integrating translocation breakpoints and topoisomerase I, TOP2, and apoptotic DNA cleavage sites at nucleotide resolution across an MLL region harboring a t-AML translocation hotspot.
