SPG4 Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: From Etiology to Therapy
Abstract Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) comprise a heterogeneous group of heritable neurodegenerative disorders resulting from mutations in a wide variety of genes. HSP locomotor symptoms include lower limb weakness and spasticity that arise from progressive degeneration of corticospinal axons projecting from the motor cortex to the distal ...

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

ISAba1‐mediated crp‐osmC amplification enhances host‐associated fitness in Acinetobacter baumannii
Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a pathogen, highly adaptable to both hospital‐ and host‐associated environments. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying its adaptability is critical for controlling its persistence. Our study identified the crp‐osmC gene cluster, flanked by ISAba1 elements, as a significant genetic structure undergoing ...

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

Nonstationarity in wildlife disease dynamics: insights from the prairie dog–plague system
Ecological relationships often vary in strength and direction across ecosystems, a pattern that has become increasingly evident as ecology expands to broader spatial and temporal scales. Although such nonstationarity – the changing effect of predictor variables across spatiotemporal contexts – is widely acknowledged in ecological research, it has ...

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity
Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.
