ABSTRACT Malaria, a febrile disease caused by the Plasmodium parasites and transmitted by mosquitoes, is a leading cause of mortality in children under 5 in endemic countries. The widespread deployment of insecticide‐treated bed nets (ITNs) has significantly reduced malaria transmission, but rising levels of insecticide resistance threaten to halt the ...

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity
The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

Glutathione in Cancer Cell Death [PDF]
Glutathione (L-γ-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine; GSH) in cancer cells is particularly relevant in the regulation of carcinogenic mechanisms; sensitivity against cytotoxic drugs, ionizing radiations, and some cytokines; DNA synthesis; and cell proliferation

Parenteral glutamine in critical illness : just what the gut needs [PDF]
The role of glutamine as a metabolic fuel for the starving intestines, its capacity to limit bacterial translocation, lung sepsis and a pro-inflammatory cytokine response are reviewed in the context of uncertainities regarding current recommendations for

Abstract INTRODUCTION The PSEN1E280A mutation causes autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease (ADAD) with predictable onset, enabling presymptomatic studies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging biomarkers of cognitive decline, but their role in early ADAD is unclear.

Three metabolites, pyroglutamylglycine (pyroGluGly), phenylalanine (Phe), and phenylalanyltryptophan (PheTrp), were identified as candidate DILI biomarkers. The serum concentrations of pyroGluGly, Phe, and PheTrp demonstrated a high differentiating ability in patients with mixed and cholestatic DILI compared with those in patients who recovered from ...

Zinc-selective inhibition of the promiscuous bacterial amide-hydrolase DapE: implications of metal heterogeneity for evolution and antibiotic drug design [PDF]
The development of resistance to virtually all current antibiotics makes the discovery of new antimicrobial compounds with novel protein targets an urgent challenge. The dapE-encoded N-succinyl-l,l-diaminopimelic acid desuccinylase (DapE) is an essential

Expanding the Immunologic and Neuronal Landscape of IgE‐Mediated Anaphylaxis
ABSTRACT Anaphylaxis is a life‐threatening immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐mediated type I hypersensitivity reaction with rising prevalence and burden. It involves mast cell degranulation upon cross‐linking of antigen on mast cell‐bound IgE. Mechanisms of IgE‐mediated anaphylaxis remain incompletely understood, particularly the induction of systemic symptoms ...

Early Nutritional Programing: Unlocking the Potential of Fish for Sustainable Aquaculture
Nutritional programing, which explores the link between early nutritional conditions and their long‐term effects on animals, is a developing field within fish biology. Suboptimal nutritional status during early life is strongly associated with a higher risk of metabolic consequences later in life, including permanent growth retardation, impaired neural
