In vitro assays identified thiohydantoins with anti-trypanosomatid activity and molecular modelling studies indicated possible selective CYP51 inhibition.

This work investigates the anti-trypanosomal activities of ten thiohydantoin derivatives against the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Compounds with aliphatic chains (THD1, THD3, and THD5) exhibited the most promising IC against the epimastigote form of T. cruzi.

Efficiently accelerated bioimage analysis with NanoPyx, a Liquid Engine-powered Python framework.

The expanding scale and complexity of microscopy image datasets require accelerated analytical workflows. NanoPyx meets this need through an adaptive framework enhanced for high-speed analysis. At the core of NanoPyx, the Liquid Engine dynamically generates optimized central processing unit and graphics processing unit code variations, learning and predicting the fastest based on input data and hardware.

Dura immunity configures leptomeningeal metastasis immunosuppression for cerebrospinal fluid barrier invasion.

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) border accommodates diverse immune cells that permit peripheral cell immunosurveillance. However, the intricate interactions between CSF immune cells and infiltrating cancer cells remain poorly understood. Here we use fate mapping, longitudinal time-lapse imaging and multiomics technologies to investigate the precise origin, cellular crosstalk and molecular landscape of macrophages that contribute to leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) progression.

Nutritional Genomics: Implications for Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in older individuals, driven by a multifactorial etiology involving genetic, environmental, and dietary factors. Nutritional genomics, which studies gene-nutrient interactions, has emerged as a promising field for AMD prevention and management. Genetic predispositions, such as variants in , , , , and oxidative stress pathways, significantly affect the risk and progression of AMD.
