In Vitro Antiparasitic Effects of Silver Nanoparticles on Sarcocystis Bradyzoites
In vitro, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit dose and time‐dependent antiparasitic activity against Sarcocystis bradyzoites from sheep, achieving up to 59.53% mortality at 800 µg/mL after 120 min. These results suggest AgNPs may be a potential alternative to traditional drugs, meriting further in vivo investigation for veterinary use.

Rifampicin in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
A study is described which aimed at assessing the efficacy of rifampicin in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis. A total of thirteen patients suffering from this condition were admitted to the study and were given rifampicin 600 mg daily. Three patients dropped out due to reasons unconnected with the trial and one patient left when the lesions ...

Thymus and Leishmania at the Crossroads: Autoimmunity and Cancer
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 ...

Cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles for dermatological diseases
Skin disorders are challenging to treat due to complex barrier functions and limited conventional therapies. Biomimetic cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles (CM‐NPs) offer a superior nanomedicine approach by evading immune detection and enabling precise targeting.
