GIP: an open-source computational pipeline for mapping genomic instability from protists to cancer cells

Gerald F. Spath et al.

Summary: The article highlights the importance of genome instability as a key factor in microbial and cancer adaptation, as well as the development of a novel bioinformatic pipeline called GIP to study genetic changes. Through application to various genome sequencing datasets, GIP was shown to validate biological discoveries in Leishmania, Plasmodium, Candida, and cancer, indicating its potential in driving disease biomarker discovery.

Stress conditions promote Leishmania hybridization in vitro marked by expression of the ancestral gamete fusogen HAP2 as revealed by single-cell RNA-seq

Isabelle Louradour et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that stress-facilitated in vitro hybridization can generate a large number of hybrid genotypes between different Leishmania species and strains. Specific populations associated with Leishmania hybridization and a discernible transcriptomic signature were identified.

Regulatory mechanisms of microbial homeostasis in insect gut

Shuai Bai et al.

Summary: Insects maintain the homeostasis of their gut microbiome through various mechanisms such as physical defenses, the Duox-ROS system, the Imd signaling pathway, and intestinal symbiotic flora. These mechanisms help to efficiently remove harmful microorganisms and maintain a balanced microbial community.

HO-3867 Induces ROS-Dependent Stress Response and Apoptotic Cell Death in Leishmania donovani

Amrita Das et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the liposomal formulation of HO-3867 is effective in inducing apoptosis in Leishmania parasites while being safe for normal murine macrophages. The treatment effectively reduces intracellular L. donovani amastigote burden by inducing parasite killing through ROS and NO activity.

Leishmaniasis: the act of transmission

Tiago D. Serafim et al.

Summary: The contribution of vector transmission to pathogen establishment is underestimated; transmission by sand flies is critical for early survival of Leishmania; recent breakthroughs shed light on factors such as gut microbiota and sand fly immunity affecting transmission of Leishmania.
