Robust, reproducible, industrialized, standard membrane feeding assay for assessing the transmission blocking activity of vaccines and drugs against Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundA vaccine that interrupts malaria transmission (VIMT) would be a valuable tool for malaria control and elimination. One VIMT approach is to identify sexual erythrocytic and mosquito stage antigens of the malaria parasite that induce immune ...

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Genome‐Guided Discovery of Antimalarial 4‐Amino‐2,4‐Pentadienoate‐Containing Cyclolipodepsipeptides

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.
Halogenated and glycosylated 4‐amino‐2,4‐pentadienoate‐containing cyclolipodepsipeptides (APD‐CLDs) exhibit potent antiplasmodial activity (IC50 = 25–161 nM) against drug‐sensitive and resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains. ABSTRACT 4‐Amino‐2,4‐pentadienoate‐containing cyclolipodepsipeptides (APD‐CLDs) represent a structurally distinctive family of ...

Assessing Risk Thresholds in Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIM)

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIMs) are a type of clinical trial involving deliberately exposing human volunteers to an infectious agent. Compared to studies of natural infection, CHIMs offers distinctive benefits, from the ability to study presymptomatic infection to a direct assessment of the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics in a ...

Plasmodium vivax-like genome sequences shed new insights into Plasmodium vivax biology and evolution [PDF]

, 2018
Although Plasmodium vivax is responsible for the majority of malaria infections outside Africa, little is known about its evolution and pathway to humans. Its closest genetic relative, P.

PEG400 regulates Falcipain 2 activity through an allosteric mechanism

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Falcipain‐2 can potentially be leveraged as a drug target due to its critical role as a haemoglobinase during the intra‐erythrocytic stage of Plasmodium falciparum. Here, we investigate the regulation of the proteolytic and haemoglobinase activity of falcipain‐2 in the presence of polyethylene glycol.

A novel FRET-based screen in high-throughput format to identify inhibitors of malarial and human glucose transporters [PDF]

, 2016
The glucose transporter PfHT is essential to the survival of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and has been shown to be a druggable target with high potential for pharmacological intervention.

Toward understanding the catalytic mechanism for two classes of bacterial phospholipid N‐methyltransferases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phospholipid N‐methyltransferases (Pmts) synthesize phosphatidylcholine in many bacteria. In this study, we compared the catalytic mechanisms of two bacterial Pmt classes: the Rhodobacter (R‐) and the Sinorhizobium (S‐) type. Representative enzymes for each class were derived from Rubellimicrobium thermophilum and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ...

Signalling in malaria parasites – The MALSIG consortium#

Parasite, 2009
Depending on their developmental stage in the life cycle, malaria parasites develop within or outside host cells, and in extremely diverse contexts such as the vertebrate liver and blood circulation, or the insect midgut and hemocoel.

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (immunophilins) and their roles in parasite biochemistry, host-parasite interaction and antiparasitic drug action. [PDF]

, 2006
Immunophilin is the collective name given to the cyclophilin and FK506-binding protein (FKBP) families. As the name suggests, these include the major binding proteins of certain immunosuppressive drugs: cyclophilins for the cyclic peptide cyclosporin A ...
