Discovery of an Atypical Arp2/3 Complex in Malaria Parasites Sheds New Light on Nuclear Actin

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arp2/3 complex is a key actin nucleator essential for cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotes. Previously believed absent in apicomplexan parasites, we recently identified an atypical Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites consisting of five divergent subunits and a putative kinetochore‐associated factor.

Synthesis and In Vitro Activity of Hypofuran B and Analogs Against Plasmodium Falciparum and Trypanosoma Cruzi

open access: yesChemMedChem, EarlyView.
Hypofuran B, drynaran, and a series of analogs are obtined by crossed aldol condensation from furfural dereivatives. Compunds are tested for in vitro activity agaisnt Trypanosoma cruzi and Plasmodium falciparum. Best results are obtained Against P. falciparum, with IC50 values ranging from 5,35 to 10,35 µg mL−1.

Comparative Effect of African Walnut Oil and Docosahexaenoic Acid on, Cancer Antigen C15‐3, Biochemical and Histopathological Markers of Female Wistar Rats With 7,12‐Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene‐Induced Breast Cancer

open access: yesCancer Nexus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work compares the effect of African walnut oil and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on cancer antigen C15‐3 (CA15‐3), biochemical, and histopathological markers of rats with 7,12‐dimethylbenz[a]anthracene‐induced (DMBA) breast cancer. 18 rats with tumor were randomized into three groups of six rats each: The negative control, the positive ...

Bidirectional Interaction Between Liposomal Amphotericin B Pharmacokinetics and Parasite Dynamics in Patients With Post‐Kala‐Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis: Potential Implications for Optimal Dosing

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Post‐kala‐azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) involves a high macrophage burden in which the Leishmania parasites reside. Liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) plays a key role in the treatment of PKDL. The mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) is crucial in the distribution of liposomal drugs as well as the leishmaniasis pathophysiology.

Revisiting the mortality of France and Italy with the multiple-cause-of-death approach [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we use the multiple cause-of-death approach to compare the mortality profiles of France and Italy in 2003. Our analysis leads to a substantial re-evaluation of the role played by certain conditions in the process leading to death ...

Redefining the Skin Barrier: A Microbiome‐Integrated Multilayered Defense Model

open access: yesBarrier Immunity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The skin constitutes a dynamic interface orchestrating a sophisticated multilayered defense system comprising physical, chemical, immune, and microbial barriers. This review synthesizes current understanding of the structural and functional integration of these barriers, emphasizing their synergistic interactions in maintaining cutaneous ...

Parasite spill-back from domestic hosts may induce an Allee effect in wildlife hosts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The exchange of native pathogens between wild and domesticated animals can lead to novel disease dynamics. A simple model reveals that the spill-back of native parasites\ud from domestic to wild hosts may cause a demographic Allee effect.

Enemy release: loss of parasites in invasive freshwater bivalves Sinanodonta woodiana and Corbicula fluminea

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Invasive freshwater bivalves harm native species, ecosystems and biodiversity, and incur economic costs. The enemy release hypothesis posits that invasive species are released from enemies during the invasion process, giving them a competitive advantage in the new environment.
