The Antiprotozoal Activity of Papua New Guinea Propolis and Its Triterpenes
Profiling a propolis sample from Papua New Guinea (PNG) using high-resolution mass spectrometry indicated that it contained several triterpenoids. Further fractionation by column chromatography and medium-pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) followed by

The trypanosomal transferrin receptor of trypanosoma brucei : a review [PDF]
Iron is an essential element for life. Its uptake and utility requires a careful balancing with its toxic capacity, with mammals evolving a safe and bio-viable means of its transport and storage. This transport and storage is also utilized as part of the

Cerebral organoids are transforming brain research, yet the field remains fragmented. This comprehensive systematic review maps 738 studies published between 2014 and 2024 to uncover trends, gaps, and opportunities across neuroscience. Introducing OrganoidMap—an interactive, open‐access platform to explore and compare models—this work enables ...

Synergistische Entwicklungsstrategien von Inhibitoren gegen humane UDP‐Galactose‐4‐Epimerase
Die Epimerase GalE ist essenziell für die Biosynthese von krebsrelevanten O‐GalNAc Glykanen. Wir verwenden orthogonales, strukturbasiertes Screening niedermolekularer Fragmente an, um kovalente und nichtkovalente Inhibitoren gegen GalE mit nicht mehr als 22 optimierten Verbindungen zu erhalten.

Evidence for regulated expression of Telomeric Repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA) in parasitic trypanosomatids [PDF]
The Telomeric Repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA) participate in the homeostasis of telomeres in higher eukaryotes. Here, we investigated the expression of TERRA in Leishmania spp.

Characterization of an endopeptidase of Trypanosoma brucei brucei
A soluble 80-kDa endopeptidase has been isolated from Trypanosoma brucei brucei. The enzyme, which has a pI 5.1, is optimally active at about pH 8.2 and has apparent pKa values of 6.0 and greater than or equal to 10. It is inhibited by the serine protease inhibitor diisopropylfluorophosphate and by the serine protease mechanism-based inhibitor 3,4 ...

A Synergistic Inhibitor Development Strategy Against Human UDP‐Galactose‐4‐Epimerase
The epimerase GalE is crucial for the biosynthesis of cancer‐relevant O‐GalNAc glycans. Here, we employ orthogonal, structurally enabled small molecule fragment screens to yield both covalent and non‐covalent inhibitors against GalE within no more than 22 elaborated compounds.

The system of genetic exchange in Trypanosoma brucei and other trypanosomatids [PDF]
In this chapter, we discuss our current understanding of the systems of genetic exchange in trypanosomatids and the im-pact the recent genome projects have had on this area of research.

Trypanosoma brucei methylthioadenosine phosphorylase protects the parasite from the antitrypanosomal effect of deoxyadenosine [PDF]
Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness for which no vaccine exists and available treatments are of limited use due to their high toxicity or lack of efficacy. T.
