Scientists Map Parasite Machine to Combat Tropical Diseases
A joint study by the University of Liège and Rockefeller University has mapped the three-dimensional structure of the trans-spliceosome at near-atomic precision, according to findings published by researchers. The discovery illuminates a biological mechanism used by trypanosomatid parasites—pathogens responsible for leishmaniasis, sleeping sickness, and Chagas’ disease—solving a structural mystery that has persisted for nearly four … Read more
