This study shows that reducing IP6K levels in T. cruzi impairs key life-cycle transitions and intracellular development in human cardiomyocytes, suggesting IP6K as a potential drug target for Chagas disease.

This study identifies the roles of SPO11 paralogs in Leishmania hybridization, showing they are essential for efficient mating and genome segregation.

This paper identifies and validates cell-permeable inhibitors of Leishmania mexicana CLK1 using a BRET-based assay, showing WZ8040 effectively targets CLK1 with minimal host toxicity.

This study shows that flagellum assembly and BBSome integrity are essential for Leishmania mexicana pathogenicity, while flagellar motility is not required for infection.
