PEG400 regulates Falcipain 2 activity through an allosteric mechanism

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Falcipain‐2 can potentially be leveraged as a drug target due to its critical role as a haemoglobinase during the intra‐erythrocytic stage of Plasmodium falciparum. Here, we investigate the regulation of the proteolytic and haemoglobinase activity of falcipain‐2 in the presence of polyethylene glycol.

Transgenic selection and underlying mechanisms in apicomplexan parasites

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Transgenic selection markers have driven genetic engineering in apicomplexans, enabling precise, iterative experiments. This review discusses mechanistic details of drug selection markers, strategies for marker recycling, and practical considerations for several clinically relevant parasites.

Death after discharge among children living with HIV admitted with suspected sepsis in Uganda: A secondary analysis of two prospective observational studies

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Children living with HIV in low‐income countries contribute disproportionately to death after hospital discharge. This study investigates the effect of HIV on post‐discharge mortality and readmission by exploring a wide range of clinical, maternal and socioeconomic variables.

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Litifilimab efficacy on skin outcomes in cutaneous lupus erythematosus in the Phase 2 LILAC study

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Our findings show that greater proportions of litifilimab‐treated participants than placebo experienced 20%, 50%, 70% or 90% improvements in CLASI‐A score from baseline and CLASI‐A scores of 0–1 or 0–3. Similar results were observed using physician global assessments, supporting the Phase 2 LILAC study primary analysis in CLE.

Advances in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus: Biologicals, small‐molecular agents, and cell‐depleting therapies coming to the clinic

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE; lupus) remains a particular challenge for the practicing clinician on account of its chronic undulating and unpredictable course, its diverse manifestations, and—until recently—limited treatment options all associated with considerable downsides.

Parasomnias and sleep‐related movement disorders induced by drugs in the adult population: a review about iatrogenic medication effects

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Parasomnias and sleep‐related movement disorders (SRMD) are major causes of sleep disorders and may be drug induced. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to examine the association between drug use and the occurrence of parasomnias and SRMD.

Characterization of Sec14 Domain–Containing Proteins in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
During asexual blood‐stage development, P. falciparum Sec14 proteins display distinct localizations suggesting specialized roles in lipid exchange. PfSec14‐1 initially localizes to the nucleus before moving to the ER and Golgi alongside PfSec14‐4 during schizogony.

Evolution‐Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with most
