Mitochondria and Neuromast Tagging With Fluorescent Gallium‐Triapine Analogues: In Cellulo MP FLIM and Zebrafish Live Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fluorescent BODIPY‐conjugated thiosemicarbazone ligands and their Ga(III), In(III), and Fe(III) complexes, inspired by Triapine, are developed as theranostic agents. Multiphoton FLIM and confocal microscopy in cancer cells and zebrafish reveal real‐time uptake, mitochondrial localisation, and whilst spectroscopic assays indicated preserved complex ...

First molecular evidence of Hepatocystis infection in non-human primates from Indonesia using fecal DNA: Implications for wildlife surveillance and One Health [PDF]

Veterinary World
Background and Aim: Hepatocystis, a malaria-like hemoparasite closely related to Plasmodium, infects non-human primates (NHPs), bats, and other mammals, yet remains understudied in Indonesia. Although Plasmodium detection in primates has been extensively

Dual Blockade of LILRB1 and LILRB2 Enhances Antiviral Immune Responses in SIV Infection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual LILRB1/B2 blockade with mac20G10 reshapes myeloid activation during acute SIV infection by targeting LILRB1 and LILRB2 on myeloid cells. This treatment enhances CD80 expression on selected myeloid subsets and increases plasma IFN‐λ, IL‐8, and IL‐1RA.

PvDBPII elicits multiple antibody-mediated mechanisms that reduce growth in a Plasmodium vivax challenge trial

npj Vaccines
The receptor-binding domain, region II, of the Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein (PvDBPII) binds the Duffy antigen on the reticulocyte surface to mediate invasion.

A Comprehensive Microbial Gene Catalog of the Human Airway Microbiome Across Anatomical Sites and Geographic Regions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated Human Airway Microbiome Gene Catalog (iHAMGC) is constructed from 12,273 metagenomic airway samples, providing a high‐resolution reference of respiratory microbial genes. The catalog enables systematic exploration of taxonomic and functional variation across airway niches and geographic regions, revealing site‐specific and region ...

Plasmodium telomere maintenance: uncovering the Achilles’ heel for novel antimalarials

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
This review examines the potential of disrupting telomere maintenance in Plasmodium as a novel antimalarial strategy. Telomeres are repetitive DNA–protein structures located at chromosome termini, where they preserve genome stability and protect against ...

Possible evidence of gluconeogenesis in Plasmodium- Infected children in relationship with the parasite density

Biomedical and Biotechnology Research Journal, 2020
Background: Gluconeogenesis is stimulated by low blood glucose to maintain the glucose level; it involves lipolysis (breaking down of triglycerides), release of cortisol, and production of glycerol which can be converted into glucose.

Autoantibodies to Extracellular Erythrocyte Band 3 Epitopes Are Associated With Anemia in Plasmodium vivax Infection

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasmodium vivax‐associated anemia is a multifactorial clinical outcome, in which the destruction of uninfected red blood cells (uRBCs) plays a major role in disease development and severity. Here, we identified autoantibody targets within the extracellular loops of Band 3 (B3), a major erythrocyte transmembrane protein.

Gut Microbiota Composition Modulates the Magnitude and Quality of Germinal Centers during Plasmodium Infections

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Gut microbiota composition is associated with human and rodent Plasmodium infections, yet the mechanism by which gut microbiota affects the severity of malaria remains unknown.
