Biochemical data on the isolated Na+/H+‐exchanging ATPase, PfATP4, from the malaria parasite are missing. Here, we expressed and purified the nucleotide and phosphate binding domains as a soluble protein and identified key residues by enzymatic characterization of generated point mutants.

The fitness of Anopheles coluzzii mosquito lines (VK strain) selected for early and late egg hatching was compared with each other and a reference strain (Mopti). There was an observed increase in fitness in fecundity and survival among the late‐hatching lines, but no negative effects of selection on fecundity and adult survival were detected.

Life at new extremes: Integrating stress physiology and the bio‐exposome in the Anthropocene
We propose to expand the concept of extreme environments to encompass those that are profoundly altered by climate and global changes, highlight the critical role of stress resilience in understanding how the exposome interacts with intracellular processes (bio‐exposome) in wildlife, emphasize how such interactions are relevant to the human bio ...

Photodynamic therapy of cancer‐associated infections
Pathogens can be involved in tumor initiation, promotion and progression through different mechanisms, and their treatment can prevent new cancer cases, improve outcomes, and revert poor‐prognostic phenotypes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) successfully treats different types of cancers and infections, and, therefore, has a unique potential to address ...

Vaccine Adjuvants in the Immunocompromised Host: Science, Safety, and Efficacy
ABSTRACT Vaccine adjuvants are essential for enhancing immune responses to vaccines, particularly in immunocompromised populations who typically demonstrate suboptimal responses to standard vaccination. This narrative review evaluates the safety and efficacy of approved and candidate adjuvants in immunocompromised hosts, with emphasis on solid organ ...

A Novel Inhibitor against the Bromodomain Protein 1 of the Malaria Pathogen Plasmodium Falciparum
This article presents the development of a first‐in‐class inhibitor targeting the bromodomain protein PfBDP1 in Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest variant of the malaria‐causing Plasmodium parasites. Through structure‐based drug design, the inhibitor interactions were characterized via X‐ray crystallography and isothermal titration calorimetry ...

Hybrid Molecules as Efficient Drugs against Multidrug‐Resistant Malaria Parasites
Among hybrid molecules currently developed as antimalarial drug candidates, emoquine‐1 exhibits high activity against all the multidrug‐resistant Plasmodium strains tested up to now, including artemisinin‐resistant quiescent parasites, critical parameters for promising antimalarial drugs. It is also curative in mouse malaria.

ABSTRACT Co‐infections such as malaria and tuberculosis pose significant public health challenges, particularly in regions where both diseases are endemic. Despite the global burden of these infections, their combined transmission dynamics remain poorly understood, highlighting the importance of this study. We develop a comprehensive mathematical model
