Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of candida albicans Lebanese hospital isolates resistant and sensitive to caspofungin. (c2018)
Published 2018“…Recently reports of resistance to caspofungin have been reported mainly through mutations in the FKS encoded subunits of glucan synthase at Hot spot 1 (amino acids 641 to 649, FSTLSLRDP) and hot spot 2 (amino acids 1357 to 1364, DWIRRYTL). Our study aimed at sequencing both hot spots from 16 C. albicans Lebanese hospital isolates resistant and sensitive to caspofungin to determine whether mutations in these hotspots are present, and whether such mutations also impart resistance to our isolates. …”

Angiotensin II AT1 receptor internalization, translocation and de novo synthesis modulate cytosolic and nuclear calcium in human vascular smooth muscle cells
Published 2003“…Overexpression of hAT1R and hAT1R GFP decreased both basal cytosolic and nuclear Ca2+. In normal hVSMCs and low hAT1R GFP overexpressing hVSMCs, Ang II (10 15 to 10 4 M) induced a dose-dependent sustained increase of [Ca]c and [Ca]n with an EC50 near 5 × 10 11 and 5 × 10 9 M, respectively. …”
