Knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations in Indian Anopheles culicifacies populations [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Anopheles culicifacies s.l. is one of the primary vectors of malaria in India responsible for the highest number of malaria cases. This vector is resistant to DDT in most parts of the country with indication of emerging resistance to pyrethroids. Since knockdown resistance (kdr) is known to confer cross-resistance between DDT and pyrethroids owing to a

Cytokine‐Engineered Chimeric Antigen Receptor‐T Cell Therapy: How to Balance the Efficacy and Toxicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cytokine‐engineered CAR‐T cells represent a promising immunotherapy against malignancies due to direct tumor killing and potent immunity response. However, significant toxicities, including CRS and ICANS, have restricted clinical applications. How to keep the risk‐benefit balance of the advanced therapy is of great importance for maximizing the benefit

Insecticide Resistance Associated with kdr Mutations in Aedes albopictus: An Update on Worldwide Evidences

BioMed Research International, 2018
Insecticide resistance is an increasing problem worldwide that limits the efficacy of control methods against several pests of health interest. Among them, Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are efficient vectors of relevant pathogens causing animal and human ...

Endothelial PDGF Signaling Dysregulation Impairs Testicular Interstitial Homeostasis in Diabetes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Testicular endothelial cells (TECs) function as central signaling hubs that coordinate interstitial homeostasis. Diabetes disrupts TEC‐derived PDGF signaling, silences the JUND‐MCL1 survival program in Leydig cells, and impairs peritubular function, leading to fibrosis and testosterone insufficiency.

Insecticide resistance mechanisms with novel ‘kdr’ type gene mutations in the tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
The tropical bed bug, Cimex hemipterus, is a serious indoor public health pest in tropical regions causing intense physical discomfort and mental distress to humans. At present, the application of insecticides is the major control strategy.

Effect of Red Blood Cell Transfusion on Inflammatory and Angiogenic Pathways in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic inflammatory state, characterized by increased plasma values of inflammatory and angiogenic proteins. Although red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is known to have immunomodulatory effects in other conditions, its potential effects on the inflammatory state in SCD remain largely unknown.

Temporal glomerular gene expression dynamics during disease progression in a mouse model of hypertension‐accelerated diabetic kidney disease

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The current study characterized temporal changes in glomerular gene expression, pathology, and biomarkers in a mouse model of hypertension‐accelerated diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Progressive albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis were paralleled by dynamic transcriptomic changes associated withmetabolic dysfunction, extracellular matrix remodeling, and ...

A Randomized, Placebo‐Controlled Trial of Hydroxychloroquine in Incomplete Lupus

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Patients with features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who do not fulfill classification criteria can be designated as incomplete lupus erythematosus (ILE). This condition includes individuals with a high risk of progression to SLE. Treatment of ILE may reduce symptoms, severity, and incidence of SLE.

First evidence of the mutations associated with pyrethroid resistance in head lice (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae) from Honduras

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background The human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis, is a cosmopolitan blood-sucking ectoparasite affecting mostly schoolchildren in both developed and developing countries. In Honduras, chemical pediculicides are the first line of treatment, with

Genetic interactions between ANLN and KDR are prognostic for breast cancer survival

Oncology Report, 2019
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common genetic variation in mammalian cells with prognostic potential. Anillin-actin binding protein (ANLN) has been identified as being involved in PI3K/PTEN signaling, which is critical in cell life ...
