Putrescine Depletion in <i>Leishmania donovani</i> Parasites Causes Immediate Proliferation Arrest Followed by an Apoptosis-like Cell Death

Putrescine Depletion in <i>Leishmania donovani</i> Parasites Causes Immediate Proliferation Arrest Followed by an Apoptosis-like Cell Death

The polyamine pathway in <i>Leishmania</i> parasites has emerged as a promising target for therapeutic intervention, yet the functions of polyamines in parasites remain largely unexplored. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and spermidine synthase (SPDSYN) catalyze the sequential conversion o...
