Assessing the presence of Wuchereria bancrofti in vector and human populations from urban communities in Conakry, Guinea [PDF]

, 2015
The Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis was launched in 2000 with the goal of interrupting transmission of lymphatic filariasis (LF) through multiple rounds of mass drug administration (MDA).

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Cardiac lymphatics in health and disease [PDF]

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2018
The lymphatic vasculature, which accompanies the blood vasculature in most organs, is indispensable in the maintenance of tissue fluid homeostasis, immune cell trafficking, and nutritional lipid uptake and transport, as well as in reverse cholesterol transport.

Factors associated with the performance and cost-effectiveness of using lymphatic filariasis transmission assessment surveys for monitoring soil-transmitted helminths: a case study in Kenya. [PDF]

, 2014
Transmission assessment surveys (TAS) for lymphatic filariasis have been proposed as a platform to assess the impact of mass drug administration (MDA) on soil-transmitted helminths (STHs).

The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...

TGF-β signaling in lymphatic vascular vessel formation and maintenance

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and its family members, including bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), nodal proteins, and activins, are implicated in the development and maintenance of various organs. Here, we review its role in the lymphatic vascular

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Computer-assisted vacuum aspiration mechanical thrombectomy with Lightning Flash allows broader clinical application, enhanced procedural safety, and improved clinical outcomes for the treatment of acute and subacute iliofemoral and central deep venous thrombosis

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques
We describe our experience with the 16F Lightning Flash vacuum aspiration mechanical thrombectomy system in 25 patients. All patients were treated in a single session with a mean estimated blood loss of 60 mL.

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

RevCore thrombectomy device effectively restores venous stent patency by treating iliofemoral caval in-stent restenosis

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques
Experience with the RevCore mechanical thrombectomy device in a series of 40 patients is described. The device was employed in the treatment of symptomatic in-stent restenosis (ISR) in iliofemoral caval venous stents in these patients.
