IL-10 Producing Regulatory B Cells Mediated Protection against Murine Malaria Pathogenesis

Biology, 2022
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.

ROLE OF METACASPASE IN MALARIA TRANSMISSION BIOLOGY

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Intro: A family of apicomplexan-specific proteins contains caspases–like proteins called “metacaspases”. These enzymes are present in the malaria parasite but absent in human, therefore, these can be explored as potential drug targets to combat malaria ...

Epibiosis in decapod crustaceans by stalked barnacle Octolasmis lowei (Cirripedia: Poecilasmatidae)

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2013
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.

Exploring differentially expressed genes of S taphylococcus aureus exposed to human tonsillar cells using RNA sequencing

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background The nose and the throat are the most predominant colonizing sites of Staphylococcus aureus, and colonization is a risk factor for infection. Nasal colonization is well described; however, we have limited knowledge about S.

Viral Hijack of Filamentous Surface Structures in Archaea and Bacteria

Viruses, 2021
The bacterial and archaeal cell surface is decorated with filamentous surface structures that are used for different functions, such as motility, DNA exchange and biofilm formation. Viruses hijack these structures and use them to ride to the cell surface

The nucleotide specificity of succinyl‐CoA synthetase of Plasmodium falciparum is not determined by charged gatekeeper residues alone

FEBS Open Bio, 2021
Substrate specificity of an enzyme is an important characteristic of its mechanism of action. Investigation of the nucleotide specificity of Plasmodium falciparum succinyl‐CoA synthetase (SCS; PfSCS) would provide crucial insights of its substrate ...

Co-infections as Modulators of Disease Outcome: Minor Players or Major Players?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Human host and pathogen interaction is dynamic in nature and often modulated by co-pathogens with a functional role in delineating the physiological outcome of infection.

Deep sequencing revealed molecular signature of horizontal gene transfer of plant like transcripts in the mosquito Anopheles culicifacies: an evolutionary puzzle [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2015
In prokaryotes, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been regarded as an important evolutionary drive to acquire and retain beneficial genes for their survival in diverse ecologies.
