Peptide‐Enabled Nanoplatforms for Malaria and Leishmaniasis: From Intracellular Targeting to Translational Diagnostic Perspectives

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Peptide‐enabled nanoplatforms offer multifunctional strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of malaria and leishmaniasis. Liposomal, polymeric, and metallic nanocarriers, together with cell‐penetrating peptides and parasite‐derived mimotopes, can improve targeted drug delivery, stability, bioavailability, and intracellular localization.

Conspecific cueing or cooperative feeding?—Foraging stable flies are visually attracted to conspecific flies

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 512-529, September 2026.
In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Thymus and Leishmania at the Crossroads: Autoimmunity and Cancer

open access: yesImmunology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 377-386, July 2026.
Conceptual ‘Crossroads Model’ linking Leishmania, thymic infection and immune dysregulation: an integrative model is proposed in which Leishmania infection disrupts thymic architecture and stromal–thymocyte interactions. These alterations converge to promote defective tolerance, increased autoimmune risk and a microenvironment permissive to malignant ...
