Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
Cytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 7, Page 457-465, July 2026.ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key mediators of intercellular communication, enabling trans‐kingdom exchange of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites. In Giardia duodenalis, EVs contribute to parasite survival, host–pathogen interactions, and immune modulation.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 5, Page 591-611, March 2026.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 ...

Analytical Cellular Pathology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Naegleria fowleri, the brain‐eating ameba, causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a fatal infectious disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). We aimed to evaluate the functions and potential drugs targeting PAM using text mining and bioinformatics analyses.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.During amoebic infection, neutrophils are the first cells of the immune system to interact with trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica, initiating amoebicidal activity. Different lectins and carbohydrates can participate in the mechanism of adhesion between E.
