Structural basis of ligand selectivity in FAD/NAD(P)H‐dependent dehydrogenases: insights from trypanothione reductase and type II NADH dehydrogenase

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract FAD/NAD(P)H‐dependent dehydrogenases form a structurally conserved family of redox enzymes that participate in essential metabolic processes across parasites and higher organisms. Among them, trypanothione reductase (TR) is a key component of the redox metabolism of Leishmania species and represents an attractive target for antileishmanial ...

Thymus and Leishmania at the Crossroads: Autoimmunity and Cancer

Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 377-386, July 2026.
Conceptual ‘Crossroads Model’ linking Leishmania, thymic infection and immune dysregulation: an integrative model is proposed in which Leishmania infection disrupts thymic architecture and stromal–thymocyte interactions. These alterations converge to promote defective tolerance, increased autoimmune risk and a microenvironment permissive to malignant ...

Canine Leishmaniasis in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2000–2015): Taxonomic Characterisation of Etiological Agents and Geospatial Case Analysis

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 314-325, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Canine Leishmaniasis is a vector‐borne zoonotic disease caused by several species of protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Leishmania braziliensis is the most prevalent species causing tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) and Leishmania infantum is the main causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL).
