Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Munju Cho"
- Munju Cho's recent research primarily focuses on the interaction of various probiotics and pharmaceutical compounds with biological systems, analyzing their effects on drug resistance, metabolism, and immune response in different model organisms.
- Noteworthy findings include the ability of Rifampin to enhance the expression of P-glycoprotein in macrophages, leading to decreased intracellular concentrations of prothionamide, which is critical in addressing drug-resistant tuberculosis.
- Additionally, Cho's studies on the complete genome sequencing of several Lactobacillus strains isolated from animal intestines contribute to the understanding of probiotic activities, revealing potential applications in health and disease management.
