The spectrum of clinical biomarkers in severe malaria and new avenues for exploration
Globally, malaria is a public health concern, with severe malaria (SM) contributing a major share of the disease burden in malaria endemic countries. In this context, identification and validation of SM biomarkers are essential in clinical practice. Some

Pathophysiology of Cerebral Malaria: Implications of MSCs as A Regenerative Medicinal Tool
The severe form of malaria, i.e., cerebral malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, is a complex neurological syndrome. Surviving persons have a risk of behavioral difficulties, cognitive disorders, and epilepsy.

CD4+ICOS+Foxp3+: a sub-population of regulatory T cells contribute to malaria pathogenesis
Background Regulatory T cells are known to play a key role to counter balance the protective immune response and immune mediated pathology. However, the role of naturally occurring regulatory cells CD4+CD25+Foxp3 + in malaria infection during the disease

The Dengue virus (DENV) and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are the arboviruses that pose a threat to global public health. Coinfection and antibody-dependent enhancement are major areas of concern during DENV and CHIKV infections, which can alter the clinical

The Cell Biology of the Trichosporon-Host Interaction [PDF]
Fungi of the genus Trichosporon are increasingly recognized as causative agents of superficial and invasive fungal disease in humans. Although most species are considered commensals of the human skin and gastrointestinal tract, these basidiomycetes are an increasing cause of fungal disease among immunocompromised hosts, such as hematological patients ...

IL-10 Producing Regulatory B Cells Mediated Protection against Murine Malaria Pathogenesis
Various immune cells are known to participate in combating infection. Regulatory B cells represent a subset of B cells that take part in immunomodulation and control inflammation.

Host-aware synthetic biology [PDF]
Abstract Unnatural gene expression imposes a load on engineered microorganisms which decreases their growth and subsequent production yields, a phenomenon known as burden. In the last decade, the field of synthetic biology has made progress on the development of biomolecular feedback control systems and other approaches that can improve the growth of

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
AbstractNeutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Epibiosis in decapod crustaceans by stalked barnacle Octolasmis lowei (Cirripedia: Poecilasmatidae)
Stalked barnacles Octolasmis lowei Darwin, 1851 are frequently found attached to decapod crustaceans. Their epibiotic association depends on many factors, which are mainly related to characteristics of the host's biology.
