Monocyte-derived extracellular vesicles, stimulated by Trypanosoma cruzi, enhance cellular invasion in vitro via activated TGF‐β1 by Ansa-Addo, Ephraim A., Pathak, Paras, McCrossan, Maria V., Volpato Rossi, Izadora, Abdullahi, Mahamed, Stratton, Dan, Lange, Sigrun, Ramirez, Marcel I., Inal, Jameel

“…Active, mature TGF‐β1 (at 175 pg/×105 in THP‐1 lEVs) was detected in concentrated lEV‐/cell‐free supernatant by western blotting, only after THP‐1 lEVs had interacted with Mtr. The TGF‐β1 receptor (TβRI) inhibitor, SB‐431542, reduced the enhanced cellular invasion due to monocyte‐lEVs.…”

Non-invasive versus arterial pressure monitoring in the pre-hospital critical care environment: a paired comparison of concurrently recorded measurements by Perera, Y, Poole, K, Raitt, J, Metcalfe, D, Lewinsohn, A

“…<p><strong> Methods</strong></p> A retrospective cohort study was undertaken using data from patients treated by a pre-hospital critical team between 1st May 2020 and 30th April 2023 that had NIBP measured concurrently with invasive blood pressure (IBP) arterial manometry. …”

An induced population of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes more resistant to complement lysis promotes a phenotype with greater differentiation, invasiveness, and release of extracel... by Rossi, Izadora, Nunes, Maria Alice Ferreira, Sabatke, Bruna, Ribas, Hennrique Taborda, Winnischofer, Sheila Maria Brochado, Ramos, Augusto Savio Peixoto, Inal, Jameel, Ramirez, Marcel I.

“…This 2R population was characterized in several aspects and compared to Wild type population. The 2R population had a favored metacyclogenesis compared with wild-type (WT) parasites. 2R metacyclic trypomastigotes had a two-fold increase in resistance to complementmediated lysis and were at least three times more infective to eukaryotic cells, probably due to a higher GP82 expression in the resistant population. …”

Effect of mangostin on the functional activity and integrity of the Plasmodium falciparum and infected and Uninfected red blood cells membrane by Ibraheem, Z.O., Majid, R.A., Noor, S.M., Farook, M.D., Basir, R.

“…This was achieved by studying its impact on the RBCs morphology, integrity and osmotic fragility. On the one hand, its effect on the plasmodium-infected cells was achieved by screening its impact on the parasite-induced new permeation pathways (NPPs) and the plasmodial invasiveness to the RBCs and these were related to its growth inhibitory effect against the parasite. …”

Microfluidics based cell-cell interaction model by Bak Thavatchalam, Subhashree

“…The combination of the micro fluid platform along with cell culture to study the cell-cell interaction facilitates the complex interactions between the cancer cells and human stromal cells that occur during metastasis in vitro is an example of cell-cell interaction which is quite difficult to understand, so a micro fluidic model that provides better understanding of the invasion of the cancer cells is needed. In this study such a microfuidic chip has been developed whereby the bone marrow stromal cells have been cultured within the chip in a 3D microenvironment. …”

Glycophorin C (CD236R) mediates vivax malaria parasite rosetting to normocytes by Malleret, Benoit, Lau, Yee-Ling, Lee, Wenn-Chyau, Mauduit, Marjorie, Fong, Mun-Yik, Cho, Jee Sun, Suwanarusk, Rossarin, Zhang, Rou, Albrecht, Letusa, Costa, Fabio T. M., Preiser, Peter, McGready, Rose, Renia, Laurent, Nosten, Francois, Russell, Bruce

“…Importantly, mature erythrocytes (normocytes) rather than reticulocytes preferentially form rosetting complexes, indicating this process is unlikely to directly facilitate merozoite invasion. While antibodies against host erythrocyte receptors CD235a and CD35 had no effect; Fab against the BRIC 4 region of CD236R significantly inhibited rosette formation. …”
