A sustained blood-stage infection of the human malaria parasite P. falciparum relies on the active exit of merozoites from their host erythrocytes. During this process, named egress, the infected red blood cell undergoes sequential morphological events: the rounding-up of the surrounding parasitophorous vacuole, the disruption of the vacuole membrane and finally the rupture of the red blood cell membrane.

Synaptic vesicle (SV) trafficking toward the plasma membrane (PM) and subsequent SV maturation are essential for neurotransmitter release. These processes, including SV docking and priming, are co-ordinated by various proteins, such as SNAREs, Munc13 and synaptotagmin (Syt), which connect (tether) the SV to the PM. Here, we investigated how tethers of varying lengths mediate SV docking using a simplified mathematical model.

Tianxiangdan suppresses foam cell formation by enhancing lipophagy and reduces the progression of atherosclerosis.

In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim

January 2025

College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, 830063, China.

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of Tianxiangdan (TXD) on lipophagy in foam cells and its underlying mechanism in treating atherosclerosis, particularly focusing on its efficacy in lowering blood lipids. In vivo, ApoE-/- atherosclerosis mouse models were established for group intervention. Blood lipid levels of the mice were measured, lipid deposition and autophagy levels in atherosclerotic plaques were assessed, and co-localization of lipid droplets and autophagosomes was examined.
