Parasitic diseases are still a major public health problem especially among individuals of
low socioeconomic status in underdeveloped countries. In recent years it has been …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a ubiquitous mechanism for transferring
information between cells and organisms across all three kingdoms of life. Parasitic …

Parasites release extracellular vesicles (EVs) which, in some cases, modulate the host's
immune response contributing to the establishment of the infection. In this work we have …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells to transport lipids,
proteins, and nucleic acids to the external environment have important roles in cell-cell …

Tetraspanins (TSPANs) are a family of highly conserved proteins present in a wide variety of
eukaryotes. Although protein-protein interactions of TSPANs have been well established in …

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus
larvae. It seriously affects the development of animal husbandry and endangers human …

Interorganellar cross talk is often mediated by membrane contact sites (MCSs), which are
zones where participating membranes come within 30 nm of one another. MCSs have been …

This study investigates the molecular intricacies of the transmembrane protein TSP11 gene
in Echinococcus strains isolated from livestock and patients in Yunnan Province afflicted …

The parasitic protozoan Entamoeba histolytica secretes extracellular vesicles (EVs), but so
far little is known about their function in the interaction with the host immune system …

Mitochondrial matrix proteins synthesized in the cytosol often contain amino (N)-terminal
targeting sequences (NTSs), or alternately internal targeting sequences (ITSs), which …
