Ultrastructural expansion microscopy reveals unexpected levels of glycosome heterogeneity in African trypanosomes

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 2, Page 222-240, February 2026.
Abstract Kinetoplastid parasites include several species. Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness in humans and a wasting disease nagana in livestock. Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease and Leishmania species cause leishmaniasis, which can present with visceral, cutaneous, or mucocutaneous symptoms.

Unveiling the Leishmanicidal Mechanism of 4‐Nerolidylcatechol Isolated From Piper peltatum Against Leishmania infantum

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The present study assessed the leishmanicidal activity of 4‐nerolidylcatechol (4‐NC) (1) isolated from Piper peltatum leaves against promastigotes and amastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis, L. braziliensis, and L. infantum. The plant was fractionated, leading to the isolation and chemical identification of 4‐NC (1). Biochemical techniques were

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Different Patterns of Lichen Planus in Three Members of One Family

Case Reports in Dermatological Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The pathogenesis of Lichen Planus (LP) and its variants, despite many investigative efforts, remains incompletely understood. The occurrence of the disease in siblings suggests a potential role for both genetic and shared environmental factors. Here, three Iranian siblings—one male and two females—who presented with various clinical forms of LP were ...
