Acanthamoeba castellanii–Mediated Reduction of Interleukin‐1β Secretion and Its Association With Macrophage Autophagy

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Noncanonical autophagy including unconventional protein secretion has been extensively studied. Our work focused on a leaderless IL‐1β protein secretion from human macrophage in response to Acanthamoeba castellanii components, Acanthamoeba culture supernatant (CS) and cell lysate (CL), as well as its association with macrophage autophagy.

Amebicidal and Antiadhesion Activities of Knema retusa Extract Against Acanthamoeba triangularis T4 Genotype on Contact Lenses and Modeling Simulation of Its Main Compound, E2N, Against Acanthamoeba Beta‐Tubulin

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Medicinal plants have been used as alternative agents for the treatment of infections. This study aimed to investigate bioactivities of medicinal plant extracts including Knema retusa extract (Kre) against Acanthamoeba triangularis T4 in vitro and in silico. Anti‐Acanthamoeba activities of 44 extracts from 5 plant species were determined.

Mimivirus Gene Promoters Exhibit an Unprecedented Conservation among all Eukaryotes [PDF]

, 2005
The initial analysis of the recently sequenced genome of Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus, the largest known double-stranded DNA virus, predicted a proteome of size and complexity more akin to small parasitic bacteria than to other nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses, and identified numerous functions never before described in a virus.

Development and Validation of Claims‐Based Algorithms for Conjunctivitis and Keratitis

Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, Volume 33, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Ocular surface disorders have been reported among patients with various medical conditions, including atopic dermatitis (AD). Nonetheless, validated algorithms to identify conjunctivitis and keratitis in claims data are lacking. Objective Develop validated, claims‐based algorithms for conjunctivitis and keratitis among patients with

A six‐year comprehensive review of eye cytology cases received at a tertiary level hospital

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 52, Issue 9, Page 511-518, September 2024.
Abstract Background Ocular cytology is an effective method of diagnosing infective, benign, and malignant ocular disease processes due to easy accessibility and rapid turnaround time. However, these specimens pose significant diagnostic challenges due to rarity of the specimen type, sparse diagnostic material available for ancillary workup, and ...

Modelling dynamics between free‐living amoebae and bacteria

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2024.
This review scrutinizes mathematical models designed to simulate the interactions between free‐living amoebae and bacteria. Identified gaps encompass (1) the necessity to tackle complexities such as spatial heterogeneity and population diversity; and (2) the essential understanding of the system.
