Monitoring of dynamin during the Toxoplasma gondii cell cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The obligate intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii actively invades virtually all warm-blooded nucleated cells. This process results in a non-fusogenic vacuole, inside which the parasites replicate continuously until egress signaling is ...

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Epimastigogenesis in Trypanosoma cruzi: Strain-Specific Dynamics and Temperature-Dependent Differentiation

open access: yesLife
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, undergoes epimastigogenesis—a critical differentiation step in which trypomastigotes transform into epimastigotes. While this process is essential for the parasite’s survival in its insect vector,

Trends on Microalgae-Fungi Consortia Research: An Alternative for Biofuel Production?

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The utilization of microalgae and fungi on an industrial scale is a challenge for researchers. Based on the question “how fungi have contributed to microalgae research?,” we verified the scientific trends on microalgae-fungi consortia focused on biofuels

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Disease ecology across soil boundaries: effects of below-ground fungi on above-ground host–parasite interactions

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015
Host–parasite interactions are subject to strong trait-mediated indirect effects from other species. However, it remains unexplored whether such indirect effects may occur across soil boundaries and connect spatially isolated organisms.

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

Rickettsia rickettsii virulence determinants RARP2 and RapL mitigate IFN-β signaling in primary human dermal microvascular endothelial cells

open access: yesmBio
We compared the growth characteristics of a virulent Rickettsia rickettsii strain (Sheila Smith) to an attenuated R. rickettsii stain (Iowa) and a non-pathogenic species (R.

Interactions between environmental stressors: the influence of salinity on host-parasite interactions between Daphnia magna and Pasteuria ramosa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Interactions between environmental stressors play an important role in shaping the health of an organism. This is particularly true in terms of the prevalence and severity of infectious disease, as stressors in combination will not always act to simply ...
