Origin and evolution of microvilli
Biology of the Cell, Volume 116, Issue 11, November 2024.Microvilli are widespread organelles of animal cells that frequently play a role in sensation and feeding. Ansel et al. reconstitute their origin and evolution by performing a broad morphological survey of microvilli in animals and their unicellular relatives, coupled with a bioinformatic study of the phylogenetic distribution of the main microvillar ...

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 26, Issue 9, Page 3491-3500, September 2024.Abstract Obesity has become a major global problem that significantly confers an increased risk of developing life‐threatening complications, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, fatty liver disease and cardiovascular diseases. Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are enzymes that catalyse the methylation of target proteins.

Differentiation of Naegleria fowleri and other naegleriae by polymerase chain reaction and hybridization methods [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1993 In order to detect and identify Naegleria fowleri strains an assay based on the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was evaluated. The amplified DNA fragments were detected by gel electrophoresis and ethidium bromide staining, followed by Southern blot hybridization with an internal digoxigenin-labeled probe.

bioRxiv, 2020 Of the 40 described Naegleria species, only N. fowleri can establish infection in humans, killing almost invariably within two weeks. In the brain, the amoeba performs piece-meal ingestion, or trogocytosis, of brain material causing massive inflammation.

Battling brain-eating amoeba: Enigmas surrounding immunity to Naegleria fowleri
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 Free-living amoebas (FLA) are remarkable single-cell engines, foraging their way through a range of environments. However, occasionally these amoebas find themselves within a human host, and an unusual and deadly opportunistic infection unfolds.

Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis in an Infant due to Naegleria fowleri
Case Reports in Neurological Medicine, 2011 Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) caused by free-living amebae Naegleria fowleri is a rare and fatal condition. A fatal case of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis was diagnosed in a 5-month-old infant who presented with the history of decrease ...
