Clinical relevance of low-densityPlasmodium falciparumparasitemia in untreated febrile children: A cohort study

Mary-Anne Hartley

Background Low-density (LD)Plasmodiuminfections are missed by standard malaria rapid diagnostic tests (standard mRDT) when the blood antigen concentration is below the detection threshold. The clinical impact of these LD infections is unknown. This study i ...

Optimization methods and objective functions for analysis of metabolic network models

Zhaleh Hosseini

Computational studies of metabolism aim to systematically analyze the metabolic behaviour of biological systems in different conditions. Genome-scale metabolic network models (GEMs) capture the connection between elements of the network by applying stoichi ...

Targeting liver stage malaria with metformin

Leonardo Filipe Lemos Rocha

Despite an unprecedented 2 decades of success, the combat against malaria - the mosquito-transmitted disease caused by Plasmodium parasites - is no longer progressing. Efforts toward eradication are threatened by the lack of an effective vaccine and a rise ...

Analysis of cellular and drug action mechanisms in the malaria parasites using systems biology approaches

Anush Chiappino-Pepe

Malaria puts at risk of infection half of the world population and still kills around half a million people every year. The rapid and worrisome rise of drug-resistant malaria parasites hinders the treatment of malaria and calls for a global collaboration t ...

Recent Advances of Malaria Parasites Detection Systems Based on Mathematical Morphology

Michel Kocher

Malaria is an epidemic health disease and a rapid, accurate diagnosis is necessary for proper intervention. Generally, pathologists visually examine blood stained slides for malaria diagnosis. Nevertheless, this kind of visual inspection is subjective, err ...

Microfluidic high-content phenotypic screening on a Caenorhabditis elegans model

Maria Cristina Letizia

Caenorhabditis elegans is a performant model system for studying human biological processes and diseases and for pre-clinical phenotyping screenings of compounds. Microfluidics has been instrumental in enabling C. elegans-based drug assays, facilitating th ...

A design of experiment approach for efficient multi-parametric drug testing using a Caenorhabditis elegans model

Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Maria Cristina Letizia, Giuseppe Tranchida

When studying the drug effectiveness towards a target model, one should distinguish the effects of the drug itself and of all the other factors that could influence the screening outcome. This comprehensive knowledge is crucial, especially when model organ ...

Drug Combination for Treatment of Proliferative Diseases

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Hubert van den Bergh

Angiogenesis inhibitory drug combination obtained according to a specific algorithm, preferably a FSC, in which an initial combination of drugs is iteratively adjusted. The drug combination according to the invention may advantageously comprise a RAPTA-C c ...

Bioenergetics-based modeling of Plasmodium falciparum metabolism reveals its essential genes, nutritional requirements, and thermodynamic bottlenecks

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Stepan Tymoshenko, Dominique Soldati-Favre, Anush Chiappino-Pepe

Novel antimalarial therapies are urgently needed for the fight against drug-resistant para- sites. The metabolism of malaria parasites in infected cells is an attractive source of drug targets but is rather complex. Computational methods can handle this co ...
