Translating Observations From Leishmanization Into Non-Living Vaccines: The Potential of Dendritic Cell-Based Vaccination Strategies Against Leishmania

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Leishmaniasis is a health-threatening vector-borne disease in almost 90 different countries. While a prophylactic human vaccine is not yet available, the fact that recovery from leishmaniasis establishes lifelong immunity against secondary infection ...

Current Status of Regulatory Non-Coding RNAs Research in the Tritryp

open access: yesNon-Coding RNA, 2022
Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites that cause devastating vector-borne human diseases. Gene expression regulation of these organisms depends on post-transcriptional control in responding to diverse environments while going through multiple ...

Development and Characterization of Liposomes Containing a Zn(II) Porphyrin Derivative for the Application of Photodynamic Therapy in the Treatment of Breast Cancer

open access: yesLasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aims to synthesize and characterize lipid nanosystems (liposomes) for the incorporation of a Zn(II) porphyrin derivative, Zn(II) meso‐tetrakis(N‐n‐hexylpyridinium‐2‐yl)porphyrin (ZnTnHex‐2‐PyP4+, ZnPH), intending to employ an alternative method of treatment, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), for breast cancer (BC ...

RNA synthesis in Leishmania donovani is constitutive during stage conversion: a genome-wide PRO-seq analysis

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Transcription in Leishmania donovani has long been considered constitutive, as shown by nuclear run-on analyses and northern blots, with gene expression primarily regulated post-transcriptionally.

Shape, form, function and Leishmania pathogenicity: from textbook descriptions to biological understanding [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2017
The shape and form of protozoan parasites are inextricably linked to their pathogenicity. The evolutionary pressure associated with establishing and maintaining an infection and transmission to vector or host has shaped parasite morphology.

"Leishmania infantum" : molecular analysis for identification of potential virulence factors and genes of diagnostic use [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Leishmania infantum is the causative agents of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis, a fatal disease if left untreated. In Southern Europe, the number of HIV/Leishmania infantum co-infections is increasing and becomes an emerging concern for the public health.

Immunomodulatory Properties of Withania somnifera: Regulation of Innate Immune Cells and Clinical Implications

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal (WS), commonly known as Ashwagandha, is a prominent medicinal herb in Ayurveda, with extensive therapeutic potential attributed to its diverse phytochemical profile. This review critically examines the immunomodulatory properties of WS, focusing on innate immune cell populations, including neutrophils, eosinophils,

Resolution and pro-resolving lipid mediators in Leishmania infection

open access: yesJournal of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2019
The acute inflammatory response is the body’s natural reaction to inciting stimuli including trauma and pathogens. Well-known pro-inflammatory metabolites take control of this reaction to recruit the leukocytes into the inflamed tissue.
