Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Halting the Progression of Acute Kidney Injury: A Tubular‐Inspired Reusable Detoxifier Against Protein‐Bound Uremic Toxins and Oxidative Stress

open access: yesSusMat, EarlyView.
This graphical ToC illustrates a tubular‐inspired detoxifier (SDCMs–DS) that halts acute kidney injury progression. Inspired by proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs), the biomimetic design combines dissociation‐adsorption clearance of protein‐bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) with antioxidant protection. During hemoperfusion, danshensu (DS) released from
