Leishmania-infected human dendritic cells clear their intracellular parasites by a mechanism involving the cytolytic effector molecules granzyme B and granulysin

This study shows human dendritic cells destroy Leishmania parasites using granzyme B and granulysin, unlike macrophages which are infected and ruptured.

Two-Photon NAD(P)H-FLIM reveals unperturbed energy metabolism of Ascaris suum larvae, in contrast to host macrophages upon artemisinin derivatives exposure

This study uses two-photon NAD(P)H-FLIM to show that artemisinin derivatives do not affect the metabolism of Ascaris suum larvae but alter macrophage metabolism, suggesting indirect effects on helminth infection.
