Metabolic Profile Associated With Encystation in Acanthamoeba
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT The genus Acanthamoeba includes widespread protozoa that can cause severe infections in humans. Their ability to form resistant cysts within infected tissues complicates treatment, making it essential to understand the encystation process for developing effective therapeutic strategies.

Social amoebae trap and kill bacteria by casting DNA nets
Nature Communications, 2016 Neutrophils secrete net-like structures made of DNA and anti-microbial peptides, which can trap and kill extracellular pathogens. Here, the authors show that such nets are also produced by so-called Sentinel cells in the multicellular slug stage of the ...
