Combining Killed Vaccine Candidate with Different Adjuvants to Determine Prophylactic Potential against Leishmaniasis.

Visceral Leishmaniasis is a serious public health problem caused by Leishmania species parasites. Approximately 500 thousand people get Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) every year. An effective and reliable vaccine against the disease has still not been formulated.

In silico discovery of diagnostic/vaccine candidate antigenic epitopes and a multi-epitope peptide vaccine (NaeVac) design for the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri causing human meningitis.

Naegleria fowleri, the brain-eating amoeba, is a free-living amoeboflagellate with three different life cycles (trophozoite, flagellated, and cyst) that lives in a variety of habitats around the world including warm freshwater and soil. It causes a disease called naegleriasis leading meningitis and primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) in humans. N.

Particulate and non-particle adjuvants in Leishmaniasis vaccine designs: A review.

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease with different clinical forms caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania and transmitted by the bite of an infected female sandfly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is the second most common parasitic disease after malaria and it is known that approximately 350 million people are at risk. The disease manifests itself in different clinical forms.

Effect of polycation coating on the long-term pulsatile release of antigenic ESAT-6 peptide from PLGA nanoparticles.

The development of novel vaccine formulations against tuberculosis is necessary to reduce the number of new cases worldwide. Polymeric nanoparticles offer great potential as antigen delivery and immunostimulant systems for such purposes. In the study, we have encapsulated the antigenic peptide epitope of ESAT-6 protein of M.

The mTOR Signaling Pathway and mTOR Inhibitors in Cancer: Next-generation Inhibitors and Approaches.

mTOR is a serine/threonine kinase that plays various roles in cell growth, proliferation, and metabolism. mTOR signaling in cancer becomes irregular. Therefore, drugs targeting mTOR have been developed.

Applications of Exosome Vesicles in Different Cancer Types as Biomarkers.

One of the biggest challenges in the fight against cancer is early detection. Early diagnosis is vital, but there are some barriers such as economic, cultural, and personal factors. Considering the disadvantages of radiological imaging techniques or serological analysis methods used in cancer diagnosis, such as being expensive, requiring expertise, and being time-consuming, there is a need to develop faster, more reliable, and cost-effective diagnostic methods for use in cancer diagnosis.
