This study provides valuable insights into the molecular pathogenesis of PNL, highlighting the relevance of inflammasome activation and autophagy dysfunction in the nerve damage associated with ...

There is currently little information about the magnitude and nature of incident ocular pathology in cured leprosy patients. This information would increase our understanding of the pathophysiology of ...

Leprosy, officially called Hansen’s disease, is one of the so-called neglected tropical diseases, Mbakwem said. Now, DPHSS and its partner entities from the public and private sectors have ...
