Nanoparticle‐Based Tolerogenic Vaccines: Next‐Generation Strategies for Autoimmune and Allergic Disease Therapies

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Nanoparticle‐based tolerogenic vaccines harness controlled antigen delivery and immunomodulation to establish tolerance in autoimmunity and allergy. This review outlines how nanoparticle design (size, shape, composition, administration route) influences biodistribution and immune‐cell targeting.

Synthetic analogues of the parasitic worm product ES-62 reduce disease development in in vivo models of lung fibrosis [PDF]

Acta Tropica, 2018
Parasitic worms are receiving much attention as a potential new therapeutic approach to treating autoimmune and allergic conditions but concerns remain regarding their safety. As an alternative strategy, we have focused on the use of defined parasitic worm products and recently taken this one step further by designing drug-like small molecule analogues

A case report of pulmonary amoebiasis with Entamoeba histolytica diagnosed in western Romania

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2008
Background: Among parasitic diseases, amoebiasis is the third most frequent cause of mortality after malaria and schistosomiasis. Pulmonary amoebiasis, the second most common extraintestinal manifestation of infection, occurs in 2%-3% of patients with ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Parasitic Diseases of the Lung

, 2016
Parasitic infection is a major healthcare problem that affects millions of the world’s population. Immigration and global warming have changed the natural distribution of parasitic diseases far removed from endemic areas. The respiratory system can be affected by a broad spectrum of helminthic and protozoal parasitic diseases.
