ABSTRACT Arginine metabolism in plants is targeted by phytopathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae strains, which produce toxins that affect enzymes of plant arginine metabolism, causing devastating infections in crops. In this work, the structural and functional properties of plant N‐acetylornithine glutamate acetyltransferase (NAOGAT), the key ...

In this multi‐center study comparing persons with HIV with pre‐kidney transplant CD4 < 350 cells/µL to those with ≥ 350 cells/µL, we found no difference in relative risk of infection in the first year‐post kidney transplant, 5‐year graft survival, and 5‐year overall survival.

Among people living with HIV and end‐stage renal disease evaluated for kidney transplantation, most progressed successfully through evaluation and were waitlisted once engaged in the process. However, substantial delays occurred across the transplant continuum, with attrition driven primarily by incomplete testing and structural barriers rather than ...

Glucocorticoids modulate drug transporter function in human fetal brain endothelial cells
Abstract figure legend P‐glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein are the most prominent drug transporters at the fetal blood–brain barrier. We isolated primary human fetal brain endothelial cells from early and mid‐gestation cerebral microvessels and exposed them to glucocorticoids cortisol and dexamethasone in vitro.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential
