Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Modulation of succinyl‐CoA:3‐ketoacid CoA transferase activity by a single amino acid residue in acetate:succinate CoA transferase from Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites that remain a global health challenge due to the limited efficacy, safety, and durability of current treatments. Acetate: succinate CoA transferase (ASCT), together with succinyl‐CoA synthase (SCS), forms the ASCT/SCS cycle that fuels ATP production and generates acetate, a central metabolic intermediate

Comparative performance of the traditional and reverse diagnostic algorithms for syphilis in pregnancy

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Background Congenital syphilis rates in the United States have increased significantly over the past decade. Syphilis is a curable infection with the potential for lifelong sequelae in the absence of timely diagnosis and treatment. Routine serologic syphilis screening is universally recommended during prenatal care with the traditional or the ...

Interaction of Staphylococcus aureus di‐iron Repair of Iron Centers protein with the iron–sulfur cluster assembly SUF system

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Repair of Iron Centers (RIC) proteins are present in several pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, contributing to resistance to nitroxidative stress and virulence. In this work, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which S. aureus RIC facilitates iron mobilization, through structural analyses and functional studies.
