UVA1 radiation attenuates pro‐inflammatory functions in human monocytes
The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 46-56, January 2023., 2023 Abstract UVA1 therapy is effective in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases. The mode of action of UVA1 therapy is not completely understood and especially data on cells of the innate immune system like monocytes, which are critically involved in many inflammatory processes, are sparse. We wanted to answer the question whether UVA1

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1084-1100, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Cryptocaryon irritans, one of the most devastating holotrichous ciliated protozoans, causes massive economic losses in the pompano, Trachinotus ovatus, mariculture industries. Considering the many advantages of phytochemicals, such as low cost, low residuals, and low pollution, they can be a good alternative for the prevention and control of C.

Vaccination with Leishmania mexicana LPG induces PD-1 in CD8+ and PD-L2 in macrophages thereby suppressing the immune response: A model to assess vaccine efficacy [PDF]
Vaccine Volume 32, Issue 11, 5 March 2014, Pages 1259-1265, 2019 Leishmania lipophosphoglycan is a molecule that has been used as a vaccine candidate, with contradictory results. Since unsuccessful protection could be related to suppressed T cell responses, we analyzed the expression of inhibitory receptor PD-1 in CD8+ and CD4+ lymphocytes and it is ligand PD-L2 in macrophages of BALB/c mice immunized with various ...

In vitro and in vivo antileishmanial efficacy of a combination therapy of diminazene and artesunate against Leishmania donovani in BALB /c mice [PDF]
Rev. Inst. Med. Trop. Sao Paulo. 2011, 53 (3): 129 - 132, 2011 The in vitro and in vivo activity of diminazene (Dim), artesunate (Art) and combination of Dim and Art (Dim-Art) against Leishmania donovani was compared to reference drug; amphotericin B. IC50 of Dim-Art was found to be $2.28 \pm 0.24 \mu$ g/mL while those of Dim and Art were $9.16 \pm 0.3 \mu$ g/mL and $4.64 \pm 0.48 \mu$ g/mL respectively.

Transient superdiffusion and long-range correlations in the motility patterns of trypanosomatid flagellate protozoa [PDF]
PLoS ONE 11(3): e0152092 (2016), 2016 We report on a diffusive analysis of the motion of flagellate protozoa species. These parasites are the etiological agents of neglected tropical diseases: leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania braziliensis, African sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei, and Chagas disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi.
