Systems biology approaches, especially in the big data era, have revolutionized modern parasitology. Of the many different molecules participating in parasite–host interactions, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are now known to be (i) transmitted by the vector to possibly modulate vertebrate host responses and favor vector survival and (ii) regulated in the host by parasites to favor parasite survival....
"Characterization and Use of Genetically Encoded Fluorescent Heme Sensors to Interrogate Heme Trafficking, Dynamics and Signaling"
The 2019 tables are based on Nature Index data from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. The normalized ranking is derived by calculating the ratio of FC to the institution’s total article output in natural sciences as tracked by the Dimensions database from Digital Science.
A group of world renowned parasitologists and ichthyologists met at the Ouachita Mountains Biological Station (OMBS), just east of Mena, Arkansas, on June 11-16, 2019, to study parasites of local fishes and amphibians. This is the second time the OMBS (first was March 2016) has served as headquarters for the research and many of the same participants.
The Wellcome Global Monitor 2018 shows high overall global trust in doctors, nurses and scientists, and confidence in vaccines. It also shows that half the world’s population say they know little, if anything, about science. And almost one in five feels excluded from the benefits of science.
