Stanford discovery may help predict when toxoplasma can be deadly
Toxoplasma is arguably the most successful animal parasite on earth: It infects hundreds of species of warm-blooded animals, most notably half of humanity. Its unusual ability to overcome the numerous challenges of infecting and reproducing inside such a wide range of creatures has long intrigued scientists, and now researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have identified t...Toxoplasmosis infection trick revealed by scientists
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease, primarily carried by cats. It is transmitted to humans by eating undercooked meat or through contact with cat faeces. It is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, whose foetuses can be infected via the placenta, and those with a weakened immune system, such as people infected with HIV. In severe cases, toxoplasmosis can cause damage to the brain and eyes,...5-OxoETE-d7, Deuterium Conjugated/Tagged from Cayman Chemical
Description:5-OxoETE-d7 is used as an internal standard for the quantification of 5-OxoETE by stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry. 5-OxoETE is a polyunsaturated keto acid formed by the oxidation of 5-HETE in human neutrophils. It stimulates cytosolic calcium levels in neutrophils with an EC50 of 2 nM. 5-OxoETE selectively stimulates the migration and degranulation of eosinophils and activates the mitog...5-OxoETE-d7, Deuterium Conjugated/Tagged from Cayman Chemical

Recent studies of long-term clinical data has revealed that treatment with pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine (two anti-parasitic drugs) during the first year of life// leads to a lasting reduction in brain and eye damage for children with congenital toxoplasmosis. In the May 15 issue of the journal Clinical Infectious Disease, researchers report that a treatment they defined -- now consid...Naloxone Prevents Heroin Overdose
A drug called naloxone has the potential to stop overdoses in heroin addicts. Hence many needle exchange programs are prescribing this drug to heroin addicts.// The news follows the deaths of at least 400 people who have consumed heroin laced with fentanyl. Prevention Point Philadelphia, a nonprofit organization responsible for needle exchange program in the city has started the distr...Toxoplasma Linked to a Protein
London: Scientists in Britain are trying to investigate the reason why the common parasite Toxoplasma,// does not cause harm to most people, but could make many others seriously ill. Toxoplasma is a genus of parasitic protozoa which is carried by cats, but can also be passed on by many other warm-blooded animals, even humans. Toxoplasma causes the disease called toxoplasmosis, which i...Findings on Dangerous Parasite, Toxoplasma Gondii Published
Montana State University researchers and their collaborators are gaining widespread attention for discoveries involving// a common parasite that can threaten everyone from babies to AIDS patients. Their findings about Toxoplasma gondii and toxoplasmosis were published recently in three major scientific journals. Nature published a paper in its advanced online version.
