is a growing health concern as the leading causal agent of systemic candidiasis, a life-threatening fungal infection with a mortality rate of ∼40% despite best available therapy. Yck2, a fungal casein kinase 1 (CK1) family member, is the cellular target of inhibitors YK-I-02 (YK) and MN-I-157 (MN). Here, multiplexed inhibitor beads paired with mass spectrometry (MIB/MS) employing ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors were used to define the selectivity of these Yck2 inhibitors across the global proteome.

Overall, the change in DKA recurrence with degludec was not statistically significant. However, subgroup analysis showed that race/ethnicity and insurance status were significantly associated with change in DKA rates.

This study investigates changes in lower extremity (LE) joint work profiles when running on an incline at iso-efficiency speed. Eleven collegiate distance runners completed a treadmill running task under three conditions (0%, 4%, and 8% incline).

We analyzed data from two Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's HIV surveillance systems to better understand HIV prevention strategies used by Black women at risk for and with HIV to help inform efforts to end HIV. Among sexually active Black women, we analyzed 2019 National HIV Behavioral Surveillance data on women without HIV (n = 4,033) and 2018-2020 Medical Monitoring Project data on women with HIV (n = 967).
