Special considerations for studies of extracellular vesicles from parasitic helminths: a community-led roadmap to increase rigour and reproducibility (Publications)
Over the last decade, research interest in defining how extracellular vesicles (EVs) shape cross-species communication has grown rapidly. Parasitic helminths, worm species found in the phyla Nematoda
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a long versus a short biliopancreatic limb improves weight loss and glycemic control in obese mice (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) results in long-term weight loss and reduced obesity related co-morbidities. However, little is known about how the lengths of the biliopancreatic limb (BPL

Novel 3-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole analogues of astemizole with multi-stage antiplasmodium activity and <em>in vivo</em> efficacy in a... (Publications)
Iterative medicinal chemistry optimization of an ester-containing astemizole (AST) analogue 1 with an associated metabolic instability liability led to the identification of a highly potent 3-trifluor
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> sexual commitment rate variation among clinical isolates and diverse laboratory-adapted lines (Publications)
Asexual blood-stage malaria parasites must produce sexual progeny to infect mosquitoes. It is important to understand the scope and causes of intraspecific variation in sexual commitment rates, partic
