The metabolism of the parasite Trypanosoma brucei has been the focus of numerous studies since the 1940s. Recently it was shown, using metabolomics coupled with heavy-atom isotope labelled glucose, that the metabolism of the bloodstream form parasite is more complex than previously thought. The pres...

Characterizing the mode of action of antimalarial compounds that emerge from high-throughput phenotypic screens is central to understanding how parasite resistance to these drugs can emerge. Here, we have employed untargeted metabolomics to inform on the mechanism of action of antimalarial leads ...

In vitro culture methods underpin many experimental approaches to biology and drug discovery. The modification of established cell culture methods to be more biologically relevant, or to optimise growth, is traditionally a laborious task. Emerging metabolomics technology enables rapid evaluation of ...

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) genome-wide association study (GWAS) of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was conducted to investigate common genetic variants associated with RCC risk. The GWAS includes 1,453 RCC cases and 3,531 controls of European background from 4 studies (3 cohort, 1 case-con...

Mitogen-activated dual-specificity MAPK phosphatases are important negative regulators in the MAPK signalling pathways responsible for many essential processes in plants. In a screen for mutants with reduced organ size we have identified a mutation in the active site of the dual-specificity MAPK ph...

Cyclic nucleotide signaling is pivotal to the asexual growth of T. gondii; however, little do we know about its counter-regulation in this parasite. We identified 18 phosphodiesterase (PDE1-18) enzymes, most of which form apicomplexan-specific clades and lack typical regulatory motifs found in mamma...

D-Glucosamine (2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose, C.A.S.# 3416-24-8) (GlcN) is a freely available and commonly used dietary supplement possibly promoting cartilage health in humans which also acts as an inhibitor of glycolysis. We here find that GlcN extends C. elegans lifespan by impairing glucose metaboli...

Naked mole-rat show a strong phenotype of sperm hypo-motility and abnormal morphology. Comparative genomic analyses in our study presenting the telomere-to-telomere genome for the naked mole-rat identified several sperm-gene relaxation and sperm-gene loss events in the NMR. To test the transcriptomi...

The parasite Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for severe malaria, which remains a major cause of death, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The reference strain NF54 (or its subclone 3D7) is commonly used for controlled human malaria infection (CHMI), but recently strains with a different geogra...
