Editorial: ticks & tick-borne parasites and diseases

open access: yesParasitology
Ticks and tick-borne diseases affect humans, livestock, and wildlife in most regions of the globe. Although there are over 900 tick species globally, only approximately 10% of species are second to mosquitoes as major vectors of human and veterinary ...

Upscaling the Surveillance of Tick-borne Pathogens in the French Caribbean Islands

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Despite the high burden of vector-borne disease in (sub)tropical areas, few information are available regarding the diversity of tick and tick-borne pathogens circulating in the Caribbean.

Preliminary analysis of an agent-based model for a tick-borne disease.

open access: yesMathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE, 2011
Ticks have a unique life history including a distinct set of life stages and a single blood meal per life stage. This makes tick-host interactions more complex from a mathematical perspective.

RPL6 Interacts with HMGCS1 to Stabilize HIF‐1α by Promoting Cholesterol Production in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The study found that RPL6 is frequently upregulated in HCC tissues with extrahepatic metastasis. Elevated RPL6 bound to and increased the stability of HMGCS1 mRNA, thereby enhancing intracellular cholesterol levels. Subsequently, increased cholesterol promotes cancer metastasis in HCC by stabilizing HIF‐1α protein.

Designing New Natural‐Mimetic Phosphatidic Acid: A Versatile and Innovative Synthetic Strategy for Glycerophospholipid Research

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We report the role of the fatty acyl chains in biological activities of phosphatidic acids (PA). Several PA probes having two different fatty acyl chains were synthesized through a multi‐steps synthesis and bearing various fluorophores or photo‐cross‐linkers (PCL).

Economic downturn results in tick-borne disease upsurge

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2011
BackgroundThe emergence of zoonoses is due both to changes in human activities and to changes in their natural wildlife cycles. One of the most significant vector-borne zoonoses in Europe, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), doubled in incidence in 1993 ...

ZDHHC12 Palmitoylates HDAC8 to Promote the Progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Associated with a Diet High in Saturated Fatty Acids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies ZDHHC12 as a critical mediator of PA‐induced HCC progression. Mechanistically, PA upregulates ZDHHC12 expression through SMARCA4 activation, leading to HDAC8 palmitoylation at Cys244 which blocks HSC70‐mediated lysosomal degradation of HDAC8, thereby promoting HCC development. These findings provide novel mechanistic insights into

Nature‐Inspired Nanostructures from Multiple‐Species Biomembranes: Rational Engineering and Therapeutic Applications in Tumor‐Targeted Nanomedicine

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Naturally derived biomembrane nanostructures by mimicking evolutionarily optimized biological architectures could effectively suppress tumor growth and have emerged as a compelling strategy in translational biomedicine. This review provides a systematic overview of rational design and underlying antitumor therapeutic mechanisms of mammalian cells ...

RESULTS OF INVESTIGATION OF TICK-BORNE INFECTIONS IN MONGOLIA

open access: yesActa Biomedica Scientifica, 2012
During 1999-2011 we conducted the collaborative research in Northern, Central and Eastern Mongolia. Several tick-borne infections were revealed in ticks and. human patients.
