In Vitro-Evolved Peptides Bind Monomeric Actin and Mimic Actin-Binding Protein Thymosin-β4

Christian Heinis, Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs, Davide Bertoldo, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Raphael Johannes Gübeli

Actin is the most abundant protein in eukaryotic cells and is key to many cellular functions. The filamentous form of actin (F-actin) can be studied with help of natural products that specifically recognize it, as for example fluorophore-labeled probes of ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Identifying and targeting key cellular mechanisms for proliferation in Plasmodium parasites: a combined experimental and computational strategy

Vassily Hatzimanikatis

Recent advances in cell genome editing techniques enable the generation of high-throughput gene knockout data in the malaria parasites in vivo. Integrative analysis of this data can lead to the identification of biological mechanisms that explain the obser ...

Disposable orbitally shaken TubeSpin bioreactor 600 for Sf9 cell cultivation in suspension

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Xiao Shen, Dominique Terry Monteil Jr, Giulia Tontodonati

Disposable orbitally shaken TubeSpin bioreactor 600 tubes (TS600s) were recently developed for the bench-scale cultivation of animal cells in suspension. Here we compared batch cultures of Sf9 insect cells in TS600s, spinner flasks, and shake flasks. Super ...
