In Vitro Leishmanicidal Efficacy of Synthesized Arylidene Analogues of Glitazone
Drug Development Research, Volume 86, Issue 5, August 2025.ABSTRACT Diabetes is a fast‐growing health issue in low‐ and middle‐income countries, with ~80% of diabetics living in the tropics and sub‐tropics. It is a deadly condition claiming the lives of millions of individuals annually, with no therapeutic treatment available to date. The management of diabetes is thus limited to symptomatic relief by glycemic

Protein import into bacterial endosymbionts and evolving organelles
The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 12, Page 2992-3013, June 2025.The acquisition of bacterial endosymbionts by ancient host cells followed by massive adaptation of the partners gave rise to mitochondria and plastids. Today, various systems with younger and less integrated endosymbionts provide insights into the initial steps in the endosymbiont to organelle transition.

Life cycle studies of the hexose transporter of Plasmodium species and genetic validation of their essentiality [PDF]
, 2010 A Plasmodium falciparum hexose transporter (PfHT) has previously been shown to be a facilitative glucose and fructose transporter. Its expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes and the use of a glucose analogue inhibitor permitted chemical validation of PfHT ...

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 3, May/June 2025.ABSTRACT The genera Paramoeba and Neoparamoeba, within the family Paramoebidae (order Dactylopodida), are distinguished by their dactylopodial pseudopodia and the presence of an intracellular eukaryotic symbiont, the Perkinsela‐like organism (PLO). Taxonomic classification within these genera has been challenging due to overlapping morphological traits
