Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Plasmodium knowlesi: The fifth malaria parasite
Journal of Clinical and Scientific Research, 2017 In 2004, a large focus of human malaria infection in Malaysian Borneo alerted the world community about the emergence of Plasmodium knowlesi as a new threat to public health.

Whole genome sequencing and microsatellite analysis of the Plasmodium falciparum E5 NF54 strain show that the var, rifin and stevor gene families follow Mendelian inheritance [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Plasmodium falciparum exhibits a high degree of inter-isolate genetic diversity in its variant surface antigen (VSA) families: P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1, repetitive interspersed family (RIFIN) and subtelomeric variable ...

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives Hepatic steatosis has been described in children with severe acute malnutrition, but the degree of liver damage in children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the development of malnutrition‐associated liver damage by describing liver function tests among children with MAM.

Exploiting Environmental Computation in a Multi-Agent Model of Slime Mould
, 2015 Very simple organisms, such as the single-celled amoeboid slime mould Physarum polycephalum possess no neural tissue yet, despite this, are known to exhibit complex biological and computational behaviour.

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...
