Molecular Diagnostics for Soil-Transmitted Helminths

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2016
Historically, the diagnosis of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) (e.g., Strongyloides stercoralis, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, and Ascaris lumbricoides) has relied on often-insensitive microscopy techniques.

Sustainable control of cyathostomin infections in practice

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Cyathostomins are the most prevalent helminths in horses and are found in nearly all grazing groups. These parasites have been shown to exhibit widespread anthelmintic resistance and can cause clinical disease, so they are a growing concern.

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

Minimal Disease Activity as A New Therapeutic Target in Atopic Dermatitis: A 5‐Year Real‐Life Experience With Dupilumab

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with significant physical and psychosocial burden. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL‐4Rα, has proven to be effective for moderate‐to‐severe AD, but long‐term real‐world data remain limited.
