Unveiling the impact of cGMP-dependent protein kinase of Neospora caninum on calcium fluxes and egress functions through quantitative phosphoproteome analysis

Communications Biology
Neospora caninum, a pathogen associated with abortion in pregnant cattle and motor nerve disorders in dogs, poses a substantial threat. Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) functions as a central signal transduction hub in apicomplexan parasites ...

Discovery of an Adaptive Neuroimmune Response Driving Itch and Fast Tick Removal with Implications for Preventing Pathogen Transmission

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Itch‐induced tick removal (IITR): An acquired neuroimmune mechanism, itch‐induced tick removal, develops after repeated tick exposure, mobilizing T cells and macrophages at the tick bite site to trigger a rapid scratching response that facilitates timely tick removal within a critical window that precedes the transmission of many tick‐borne pathogens ...

Cytotoxic T Cell-Derived Granzyme B Is Increased in Severe Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
In Plasmodium falciparum malaria, CD8+ T cells play a double-edged role. Liver-stage specific CD8+ T cells can confer protection, as has been shown in several vaccine studies.

Increased Expression of Multiple Co-Inhibitory Molecules on Malaria-Induced CD8+ T Cells Are Associated With Increased Function Instead of Exhaustion

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Activated cytotoxic CD8+ T cells can selectively kill target cells in an antigen-specific manner. However, their prolonged activation often has detrimental effects on tissue homeostasis and function.

Ciliados (Protozoa) de sedimentos secos de una charca temporaria de la Argentina [PDF]

, 2009
Temporary ponds represent special environments that are inhabited by organisms adapted to changing environmental conditions. Ciliates are able to survive complete loss of water in these transient habitats through cyst formation. Nevertheless, ciliates

An Attention‐Assisted Machine Learning System for Deep Microorganism Image Classification

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An attention‐assisted DenseNet201 framework was developed for the classification of eight microorganism classes from microscopic images. The proposed model improved classification performance and achieved an accuracy of 87.38%. Advances in microbiology and environmental health fundamentally depend on precise and timely microorganism identification ...

Technobiological Pathways for High‐CO₂ Capture Using Micro‐/Macroalgae: Genetic Engineering, Process Automation, and Value‐Added Bioproducts

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

Comprehensive Characterization of Toxoplasma Acyl Coenzyme A-Binding Protein TgACBP2 and Its Critical Role in Parasite Cardiolipin Metabolism

mBio, 2018
Acyl coenzyme A (CoA)-binding protein (ACBP) can bind acyl-CoAs with high specificity and affinity, thus playing multiple roles in cellular functions. Mitochondria of the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii have emerged as key organelles for lipid ...

Decomposer biomass in the rhizosphere to assess rhizodposition [PDF]

, 2007
Quantification of the organic carbon released from plant roots is a challenge. These compounds of rhizodeposition are quickly transformed into CO2 and eventually bacterial biomass to be consumed by bacterivores (protozoa and nematodes).
