Leishmania Extracellular Vesicles as a Preventive Vaccine Platform Against Leishmaniasis

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
The potential of Leishmania‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a vaccine platform was investigated, emphasizing an affordable, GMP‐compliant production and purification method. Immunization with EV vaccines, either unadjuvanted or combined with α‐galactosylceramide (αGC), induced robust humoral and cellular immune responses, conferring protection ...

Cell migration induced by Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, Leishmania (Leishmania) major and Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis into the peritoneal cavity of BALB/c mice

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2010
In American cutaneous leishmaniasis, the initial infection phase is characterized by recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes. The migration of these cells in response to the presence of Leishmania in the peritoneum of affected animals remains unclear ...

Comprehensive Analysis of Structure Activity Relationships in Quinoxaline Derivatives Covering Antimicrobial Applications

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 14, 13 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the most critical global health challenges, undermining the clinical efficacy of existing antibiotics and threatening modern therapeutic strategies. The ongoing misuse and overuse of antimicrobial agents have accelerated the evolution of resistant bacterial strains and parasites ...

Modulation of fibroblast behavior by Leishmania: a pathway to understanding disease progression in cutaneous leishmaniasis

BMC Microbiology
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection caused by obligatory intracellular protozoa of the Leishmania genus. Macrophages are the main cell for Leishmania parasites that play a key role in immune response against it.

Phytochemical and Biological Evaluation of Leaves, Stems, and Roots of Schinus weinmanniifolia Mart. Ex Engl.

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
Ethanolic extracts from leaves, stems, and roots of Schinus weinmanniifolia Mart. ex Engl. were evaluated for phytochemical composition and biological activities. The extracts exhibited antioxidant, photoprotective, and antimicrobial activity, without hemolytic effects or cytotoxicity at active concentrations. Syringic acid, epicatechin, and rutin were

Evolutionary divergence and functional insights into the heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferase of Paramecium tetraurelia

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1681-1707, March 2026.
Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

Developing giant plasma membrane vesicles from Leishmania cells to investigate the role of membrane proteins in photodynamic inactivation

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 102, Issue 2, Page 480-488, March/April 2026.
In this study, we developed giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) from Leishmania amazonensis promastigote membranes to investigate the role of protein‐embedded membranes in methylene blue (MB) photooxidation. Upon MB photoactivation in model lipid membranes (giant unilamellar vesicles, GUVs), a distinct photooxidation effect was observed, marked by ...
