Effect of antimalarial drugs on Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes.

13 Nov 2009 Gametocytes are the sexual stage of the malaria parasite and are essential for transmission to the mosquito. Antimalarial drugs have been reported to affect gametocyte production in vivo, which leads to a potential increase in transmission. We used ... Read more...

Annexin A5 directly interacts with amyloidogenic proteins and reduces their toxicity.

8 Nov 2009 Protein misfolding is a central mechanism for the development of neurodegenerative diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The accumulation of misfolded alpha-synuclein protein inclusions in the Lewy bodies of Parkinson's disease is thought to play a ... Read more...

Retinotopic mapping requires focal adhesion kinase-mediated regulation of growth cone adhesion.

2 Nov 2009 Adhesion controls growth cone motility, yet the effects of axon guidance cues on adhesion site dynamics are poorly understood. Here we show that ephrin-A1 reduces retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon outgrowth by stabilizing existing adhesions and ... Read more...
