Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Structural Insights Into the Function of Leishmania major Adenylosuccinate Lyase
ABSTRACT One of several intriguing aspects of kinetoplastid biochemistry is the complete dependence on host purines and purine recycling due to the lack of a de novo purine biosynthesis pathway. Adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL, EC 4.3.2.2) is a key enzyme in the purine synthesis pathway responsible for the conversion of adenylosuccinate into adenosine ...

Seasonal Effect on the Chemical Composition of Lippia alba Volatile Chemotypes
L. alba, a Brazilian medicinal species, is known for its volatile chemotypes, with fewer studies of its nonvolatile composition. Chemical characterization via GC‐MS and LC‐MS of five individuals, during the rainy and dry season, confirm the variability of the volatile composition but the nonvolatile composition was similar, with a discrete seasonal ...
