Trypanocidal Effects of Polyprenylated Benzophenone Enriched Brazilian Red Propolis Extract and Its Isolated Constituent

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
In vitro trypanocidal activity of a polyprenylated benzophenone‐enriched Brazilian red propolis extract (SEBz) and its major constituents, guttiferone E/xanthochymol (GUT/XAN) and oblongifolin B (OBL), exhibit in vitro trypanocidal activity against Trypanosoma cruzi, inducing ultrastructural damage with moderate cytotoxicity and no significant ...

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Posttranslational modifications of heterologous proteins expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 44-54, January 2026.
Summary The success of Nicotiana benthamiana as a workhorse for heterologous protein production is closely linked to its accessibility and tolerance to genetic manipulation, allowing efficient engineering of posttranslational protein modifications (PTMs) that are critical for the function and stability of heterologous proteins.
