Artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum threatens global efforts to control and eliminate malaria. Polymorphisms the kelch domain-carrying protein K13 are associated with artemisinin resistance, but underlying molecular mechanisms unknown. We analyzed vivo transcriptomes of 1043 P. isolates from patients acute malaria found that is increased expression unfolded response (UPR) pathways involving major PROSC TRiC chaperone complexes. Artemisinin-resistant parasites also exhibit...

Due to their remarkable parasitocidal activity, artemisinins represent the key components of first-line therapies against Plasmodium falciparum malaria. However, decline in efficacy artemisinin-based drugs jeopardizes global efforts control and ultimately eradicate disease. To better understand resistance phenotype, artemisinin-resistant parasite lines were derived from two clones 3D7 strain P. using a selection regimen that mimics how parasites interact with drug within patients. This long...

Epigenetic mechanisms are emerging as one of the major factors dynamics gene expression in human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. To elucidate role chromatin remodeling transcriptional regulation associated with progression P. falciparum intraerythrocytic development cycle (IDC), we mapped temporal pattern chromosomal association histone H3 and H4 modifications using ChIP-on-chip. Here, have generated a broad integrative epigenomic map twelve during IDC including H4K5ac, H4K8ac,...

The emergence and spread of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum, first in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), now East Africa, is a major threat to global malaria elimination ambitions. To investigate artemisinin resistance mechanism, transcriptome analysis was conducted 577 P. falciparum isolates collected GMS between 2016-2018. A specific resistance-associated transcriptional profile identified that involves broad but discrete set biological functions related proteotoxic stress,...

Abstract DNA of malaria parasites, Plasmodium falciparum , is subjected to extraordinary high levels genotoxic insults during its complex life cycle within both the mosquito and human host. Accordingly, most components repair machinery are conserved in parasite genome. Here, we investigated genome-wide responses P. damaging agents provided transcriptional evidence existence double strand break excision system. We also showed that acetylation at H3K9, H4K8 H3K56 play a role direct indirect...

The predisposition of parasites acquiring artemisinin resistance still remains unclear beyond the mutations in Pfk13 gene and modulation unfolded protein response pathway. To explore chain casualty underlying resistance, we reanalyze 773 P. falciparum isolates from TRACI-study integrating TWAS, GWAS, eQTL analyses. We find majority are transcriptomically converged within each geographic site with two broader physiological profiles across Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). report 8720...

Sleep staging is important in sleep research since it the basis for evaluation and disease diagnosis. Related works have acquired many desirable outcomes. However, most of current studies focus on time-domain or frequency-domain measures as classification features using single very few channels, which only obtain local but ignore global information exchanging between different brain regions. Meanwhile, functional connectivity considered to be closely related activity can used study...

Plasmodium knowlesi is one of five species known to cause malaria in humans and can result severe illness death. While a zoonosis humans, this simian parasite infects macaque monkeys serves as an experimental model for vivo, ex vivo vitro studies. It has underpinned discoveries relating host-pathogen interactions, the immune response evasion strategies. This study investigated differences P. gene expression samples from cultures.

Abstract Objective . The non-stationarity of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and the variability among different subjects present significant challenges in current Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCI) research, which requires a time-consuming specific calibration procedure to address. Transfer Learning (TL) offers potential solution by leveraging data or models from one more source domains facilitate learning target domain, so as address these challenges.
