Enhancing schistosomiasis drug discovery approaches with optimized proteasome substrates

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease infecting over 200 million people globally, has limited therapeutic options. The 20S proteasome is a validated drug target for many parasitic infections, including those caused by Plasmodium and Leishmania, and we have previously demonstrated antischistosomal activity with inhibitors targeting ...

Spatiotemporal Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals the Dynamic Immunological Landscape of Alveolar Echinococcosis

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 18, May 15, 2025.
An unprecedented high‐resolution spatial atlas of the E. multilocularis infection foci is obtained, revealing the dynamic functions of neutrophils, Spp1+ macrophages, and fibroblasts during disease progression. The transition of parasite control strategy from “active killing” to “negative segregation” by the host may provide instructive insights into ...
