Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) is a clinically important pathogen that has rapidly developed resistance to many antimicrobials.

Autotransporters are a large family of bacterial secreted and/or outer membrane proteins that play key roles in the pathogenesis of many infectious diseases.

Mutations in the gene encoding the human ATP-binding Cassette (ABC) transporter ABCA4 are implicated in several visual disorders including Stargardt’s disease, an early onset macular dystrophy.

P-glycoprotein is an ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter, expressed at numerous sanctuary sites protecting the body against xenobiotics. Overexpression of P-glycoprotein in cancer cells is associated with a multidrug resistance phenotype.

Glucose and lactate are critical metabolites for most living organisms. In certain circumstances, such as during the intra-erythrocytic stage of malaria parasites and in the glycolytic cancer cells, glycolysis provides the main energy by breaking down the glucose into lactate.

Immunotherapy is a re-emerging alternative to other invasive and debilitating cancer treatments. Monoclonal antibodies that disrupt immune checkpoint molecules, such as PD1 or CTLA4, continually demonstrate great promise.
