Helminths: Immunoregulation and Inflammatory Diseases—Which Side Are Trichinella spp. and Toxocara spp. on? by Carmen Aranzamendi, Ljiljana Sofronic-Milosavljevic, Elena Pinelli

“…Molecular crosstalk between the host and the parasite starts immediately after their encounter, which influences the course and development of both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune response. Helminths can modulate dendritic cells (DCs) function and induce immunosuppression which is mediated by a regulatory network that includes regulatory T (Treg) cells, regulatory B (Breg) cells, and alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs). …”

The microtubule-severing enzyme spastin regulates spindle dynamics to promote chromosome segregation in Trypanosoma brucei by Thiago Souza Onofre, Qing Zhou, Ziyin Li

“…We further show that the function of spastin requires the catalytic AAA-ATPase domain, the microtubule-binding domain, and the microtubule interacting and trafficking domain, and that the association of spastin with spindle depends on the microtubule-binding domain. …”

Epigenetic regulatory protein chromobox family regulates multiple signalling pathways and mechanisms in cancer by Weiyu Su, Weiwen Wang, Guanghui Zhang, Lianhe Yang

“…The Chromobox (CBX) family proteins, which serve as significant epigenetic regulators, exhibit tumour-specific expression patterns and biological functionalities. These proteins are influenced by a multitude of factors and could modulate the activation of diverse signalling pathways within tumour cells through alterations in epigenetic modifications, thereby acting as either oncogenic agents or tumour suppressors. …”

SLC10A3 regulates ferroptosis of glioblastoma through the STAT3/GPX4 pathway by Qian Sun, Haoran Lu, Fan’en Yuan, Qingyu Zhao, Yuxin Wei, Ronggui Wang, Qianxue Chen, Baohui Liu

“…In this research, bioinformatics revealed that SLC10A3 is upregulated in GBM and correlates with poor patient prognosis. Functional analysis showed that SLC10A3 regulates GBM growth and progression through ferroptosis and that silencing SLC10A3 enhances sensitivity to the ferroptosis inducer Erastin. …”
