1. Leishmania donovani lipophosphoglycan : effects on actin and phagosomal maturation
Abstract : Leishmania donovani promastigotes survive intracellularly in macrophages by inhibiting phagosomal maturation. This ability is conferred by surface lipophosphoglycan (LPG), which is transferred to the host-cell plasma and phagosomal membranes during phagocytosis. READ MORE

2. Interplay of human macrophages and Mycobacterium tuberculosis phenotypes
Abstract : Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the pathogen causing tuberculosis (TB), a disease most often affecting the lung. 1.5 million people die annually due to TB, mainly in low-income countries. READ MORE

3. Effects of lipophosphoglycan on macrophage actin dynamics
Abstract : Leishmania donovani is a blood-borne tropicial parasite, which infects humans through bites by Phlebotomine sandflies. The parasite survives and multiplies inside macrophages in inner organs, and causes the deadly disease visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar). Lipophosphoglycan (LPG) is the major surface component of Leishmania donovani promastigotes. READ MORE

4. Leishmania donovani Lipophosphoglycan : Modulation of Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Function
Abstract : Leishmania donovani is a blood-borne tropicial parasite, which infects humans through bites by Phlebotomus sandflies. The parasite survives and multiplies inside macrophages in inner organs, and causes the deadly disease visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar). READ MORE

5. Regulation of phagocytosis and phagolysosome fusion in human leukocytes
Abstract : Professional phagocytes such as neutrophil granulocytes and macrophages are an esential part of the innate immune system. The neutrophils form the first line of defence against invading microorganisms and are important for rapid killing of the intruders. READ MORE
