Diet-conditioned microbiota enhances fecal microbiota transplantation efficacy in alcoholic liver disease through caproic acid-PPARα signaling

This study shows that a high-protein donor diet enhances fecal microbiota transplantation efficacy in alcoholic liver disease by increasing caproic acid and PPARα signaling.

Plasmodium falciparum aquaglyceroporin (PfAQP) orchestrates glycerol-dependent lipid metabolism, membrane biogenesis, metabolomic flux, parasite growth and stress adaptation

This study identifies PfAQP's role in glycerol-dependent lipid metabolism, membrane biogenesis, and stress adaptation in Plasmodium falciparum through knockdown and metabolomic analyses.

LFA-1 Interaction with GBP-130 on Plasmodium falciparum-infected Red Blood Cells mediates NK Cell Activation and Parasite Control

This study identifies PfGBP-130 as the ligand for LFA-1 on Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells, showing it mediates NK cell activation and parasite control.

A dynamin-like protein in the human malaria parasite plays an essential role in mitochondrial homeostasis and fission during asexual blood stages

This study identifies PfDyn2, a dynamin-like protein in P. falciparum, essential for mitochondrial fission and homeostasis during asexual blood stages of malaria.

Importin alpha inhibitors act against the differentiated stages of apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii

The paper identifies small molecules that inhibit nuclear import in apicomplexan parasites, showing efficacy against both rapidly dividing and differentiated stages.

Involvement of translocon complex in hemoglobin import from infected erythrocyte cytoplasm into the Plasmodium parasite

This study identifies PfHDP's role in hemoglobin uptake by Plasmodium parasites and shows its interaction with the translocon complex, suggesting it as a target for antimalarial drugs.
