TDP‐43 proteinopathies and neurodegeneration: insights from Caenorhabditis elegans models
The manuscript explores structural and functional features of TDP‐43 and its worm homologue, TDP‐1, highlighting conserved and divergent structural and functional features. Using genetically engineered C. elegans models, key pathological features of TDP‐43 proteinopathies—including aggregation, neurodegeneration, and motor deficits—are recapitulated ...

The P2X7 Receptor and Its Relation to Neglected Tropical Diseases: Focusing on Chagas Disease
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) that can lead to severe cardiac complications, including chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy. While NTDs are caused by a variety of pathogens—such as protozoa, bacteria, viruses, and helminths, Chagas disease remains underexplored, particularly regarding host immune responses.
