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

Microbiology 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.

Real-time PCR to differentiate among Leishmania (Viannia) subgenus, Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum and Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis: Application on Brazilian clinical samples

Acta Tropica, 2020
Leishmaniasis is a complex disease caused by Leishmania species belonging to subgenera Leishmania and Viannia. In South America, L. (L.) infantum is considered the most important causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis, while L. (L.) amazonensis and Viannia subgenus species are responsible for the different cutaneous or mucocutaneous forms.

The proinflammatory activity of recombinant serum amyloid A is not shared by the endogenous protein in the circulation.

, 2010
OBJECTIVE: Elevated serum levels of the acute-phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) are a marker for active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and SAA can also be found in the tissues of patients with active RA.

Morphogenesis Dynamics in Leishmania Differentiation

Pathogens, 2022
Leishmania, the causative agent of leishmaniasis, is an obligatory intracellular parasite that cycles between phagolysosome of mammalian macrophages, where it resides as round intracellular amastigotes, and the midgut of female sandflies, where it ...

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

Clinical 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.

Resolution and pro-resolving lipid mediators in Leishmania infection

Journal 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.

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius
