Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

New compound sets identified from high throughput phenotypic screening against three kinetoplastid parasites:an open resource [PDF]

, 2015
Using whole-cell phenotypic assays, the GlaxoSmithKline high-throughput screening (HTS) diversity set of 1.8 million compounds was screened against the three kinetoplastids most relevant to human disease, i.e.

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

Th17 Cells Are More Protective Than Th1 Cells Against the Intracellular Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
Th17 cells are a subset of CD4+ T cells known to play a central role in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases, as well as in the defense against some extracellular bacteria and fungi.

Challenges and Opportunities in State‐of‐the‐Art Proteomics Analysis for Biomarker Development From Plasma Extracellular Vesicles

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound particles secreted by cells, playing crucial roles in intercellular communication. The composition of EVs can undergo changes in response to stress and disease conditions, making them excellent biomarker candidates.

Virtual Screening Based on QSAR and Molecular Docking of Possible Inhibitors Targeting Chagas CYP51

Journal of Chemistry, 2021
Chagas is a neglected tropical disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi with no effective treatment in all its forms. There is a need to find more effective therapeutic alternatives with reduced toxicity.
