Aptamer Engineering: Strategies for Discovering Functional Nucleic Acids for Next‐Generation Diagnostics and Biosensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The advent of aptamers has highlighted their potential as alternatives to antibodies, overcoming limitations of structural instability and production cost. However, conventional approaches such as SELEX remain slow and labor‐intensive. This review examines recent advances in aptamer engineering, emphasizing in vitro and AI‐driven in silico strategies ...

Risk factors for visceral leishmaniasis in a new epidemic site in Amhara Region, Ethiopia [PDF]

, 2009
We conducted a case-control study to evaluate risk factors for visceral leishmaniasis during an epidemic in a previously unaffected district of Ethiopia. We also collected blood and bone marrow specimens from dogs in the outbreak villages.

Epstein–Barr Virus, Lower Vitamin D, Low Sun Exposure, and HLA‐DRB1*1501 Risk Variant Share Common Epigenetic Pathways Leading to Multiple Sclerosis Onset

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) onset risk factors include Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) indices (including host response), lower serum 25‐vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels, low sun exposure, and HLA‐DRB1*1501. The underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here, we examined mediation through differential DNA methylation (DNAm) to better understand possible ...

Native rodent species are unlikely sources of infection for Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis along the Transoceanic Highway in Madre de Dios, Peru. [PDF]

, 2014
An estimated 2.3 million disability-adjusted life years are lost globally from leishmaniasis. In Peru's Amazon region, the department of Madre de Dios (MDD) rises above the rest of the country in terms of the annual incidence rates of human leishmaniasis.

Early suppression of lymphoproliferative response in dogs with natural infection by Leishmania infantum. [PDF]

, 1999
Dogs are the domestic reservoirs of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum. Early detection of canine infections evolving to clinically patent disease may be important to leishmaniasis control.

Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of DNDI‐6148, a novel agent for leishmaniasis: A randomized, controlled, single ascending dose study in healthy participants

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The benzoxaborole derivative DNDI‐6148 is an antiparasitic agent with activity against multiple Leishmania protozoan species, including L. infantum and L. donovani, which cause visceral leishmaniasis. We investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of DNDI‐6148 in a randomized, parallel‐group, placebo‐controlled ...

Low castes have poor access to visceral leishmaniasis treatment in Bihar, India [PDF]

, 2012
Objectives  Bihar, the poorest state in India, concentrates most of the visceral leishmaniasis (VL) cases in the country. A large proportion of the poor rural communities where VL is endemic are marginalized by their socio-economic status, intrinsically ...

The epidemiology of Leishmania donovani infection in high transmission foci in India.

, 2010
OBJECTIVE: Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is highly prevalent in Bihar, India. India and its neighbours aim at eliminating VL, but several knowledge gaps in the epidemiology of VL may hamper that effort.
