Lessons from helminth infections: ES-62 highlights new interventional approaches in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Parasitic worms are able to survive in their mammalian host for many years due to their ability to manipulate the immune response by secreting immunomodulatory products. It is increasingly clear that, reflecting the anti-inflammatory actions of such worm-

Metagenomic Analysis of Bacteria, Fungi, Bacteriophages, and Helminths in the Gut of Giant Pandas
To obtain full details of gut microbiota, including bacteria, fungi, bacteriophages, and helminths, in giant pandas (GPs), we created a comprehensive microbial genome database and used metagenomic sequences to align against the database.

microRNAs of parasitic helminths – identification, characterization and potential as drug targets [PDF]
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. They were first identified in the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, where the miRNAs lin-4 and let-7 were shown to be essential for regulating ...

Helminth Immunomodulation in Autoimmune Disease
Helminths have evolved to become experts at subverting immune surveillance. Through potent and persistent immune tempering, helminths can remain undetected in human tissues for decades.

Human ascariasis: diagnostics update [PDF]
Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) infect over one billion people worldwide. Ascariasis may mimic a number of conditions, and individual clinical diagnosis often requires a thorough work-up.

In this study, a library of rhenium di‐ and tricarbonyl complexes featuring various antimicrobial azoles as monodentate ligands was synthesized and characterized. Their antimicrobial activity was evaluated against both methicillin‐sensitive (MSSA) and methicillin‐resistant (MRSA) Staphylococcus aureus, and selected compounds were also assessed for ...
