In trypanosomes, RNA polymerase II transcription is polycistronic and individual mRNAs are
excised by trans-splicing and polyadenylation. The lack of individual gene transcription …

Significance: It is increasingly clear that proline metabolism plays an important role in
metabolic reprogramming, not only in cancer but also in related fields such as aging …

Some development stages of the trypanosomatid protozoan parasites are well adapted to in

Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) is extremely low in most people with primary ciliary dyskinesia
(PCD) and its measurement is an important contributor to making the diagnosis. Existing …

Developmental steps in the trypanosome life-cycle involve transition between replicative
