Background: Age and sex are known risk factors for Parkinson's Disease (PD), but it remains controversial if there are sex differences in the diagnosis latency. The objective of this study was to examine these sex differences in Latin America.
Methods: The Latin American Research Consortium on the Genetics of PD (LARGE-PD) includes PD patients from countries across Latin America who were diagnosed using the UK Brain Bank criteria.
The cytosolic Ca concentration of all cells is highly regulated demanding the coordinated operation of Ca pumps, channels, exchangers and binding proteins. In the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii calcium homeostasis, essential for signaling, governs critical virulence traits. However, the identity of most molecular players involved in signaling and homeostasis in T.

Building on results from the AELIX-002 trial with HIVACAT T-cell immunogen (HTI)-based vaccines, the AELIX-003 (NCT04364035) trial tested the safety of the combination of ChAdOx1.HTI (C) and MVA.HTI (M), with the TLR7 agonist vesatolimod (VES), in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial in 50 virally suppressed early-treated men with HIV-1 infection.

We show that a phenylthiazole aminoguanidine with antibacterial as well as antifungal activity inhibits growth with an IC value of 2.1 μM.
