The use of a microfilaricidal drug for the control of onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis necessitates prolonged yearly dosing. Prospects for elimination or eradication of these diseases would be enhanced by availability of a macrofilaricidal drug ...

Evolution of spatially structured host–parasite interactions [PDF]
AbstractSpatial structure has dramatic effects on the demography and the evolution of species. A large variety of theoretical models have attempted to understand how local dispersal may shape the coevolution of interacting species such as host–parasite interactions.

Viruses mobilize plant immunity to deter nonvector insect herbivores. [PDF]
A parasite-infected host may promote performance of associated insect vectors; but possible parasite effects on nonvector insects have been largely unexplored. Here, we show that Begomovirus, the largest genus of plant viruses and transmitted exclusively

Antihelmintic treatment alters the parasite community in a wild mouse host [PDF]
Individuals are often co-infected with several parasite species, yet the consequences of drug treatment on the dynamics of parasite communities in wild populations have rarely been measured.

Ultra‐Tiny Gelatin Nanoparticles‐Assisted 3D Stem Cell Spheroids for Engineering Tissue Regeneration
GNPs effectively guide the formation of structurally compact and functionally enhanced stem cell spheroids. This GNP‐assisted 3D culture system improves cell–cell and cell‐ECM interactions, leading to superior viability and complexity. Time‐dependent regenerative potential is demonstrated in both bone and skin defects, positioning GNP‐spheroids as a ...

Mechanisms and pathways of Toxoplasma gondii transepithelial migration [PDF]
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous parasite and a prevalent food-borne parasitic pathogen. Infection of the host occurs principally through oral consumption of contaminated food and water with the gastrointestinal tract being the primary route for entry ...

Advancing from MOFs and COFs to Functional Macroscopic Porous Constructs
This review study investigates the recent progress and methodologies for manufacturing metal–organic framework (MOF) or covalent–organic framework (COF)‐based 3D structured macroscopic porous constructs with high structural integrity, providing the possibility to control their porosity across dimensions.

Domains of invasion organelle proteins from apicomplexan parasites are homologous with the Apple domains of blood coagulation factor XI and plasma pre-kallikrein and are members of the PAN module superfamily [PDF]
Micronemes are specialised organelles, found in all apicomplexan parasites, which secrete molecules that are essential for parasite attachment to and invasion of host cells.

Hierarchically MOF‐Based Porous Monolith Composites for Atmospheric Water Harvesting
This review explores the design of hierarchical porous materials for atmospheric water harvesting, focusing on metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous monoliths. Emphasis is placed on integrating MOF nanoscale porosity with the microscale channels of monolithic scaffolds to enhance sorption‐desorption performance.
