Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acidocalcisomes ? conserved from bacteria to man

Roberto Docampo, +7 more
- 01 Mar 2005 - 
TL;DR: Acidocalcisomes were first described in trypanosomatids and have been characterized in most detail in these species, and are linked with several functions, including storage of cations and phosphorus, polyphosphate metabolism, calciumHomeostasis, maintenance of intracellular pH homeostasis and osmoregulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review on Trypanosoma cruzi: Host Cell Interaction.

Wanderley de Souza, +2 more
- 29 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: A brief review of the interaction between Trypanosoma cruzi and its host cells is presented, mainly emphasizing the mechanisms and molecules that participate in the T. cruzi invasion process of the mammalian cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basic cell biology of Trypanosoma cruzi.

Wanderley de Souza
- 31 Jan 2002 - 
TL;DR: Basic aspects of the biology of Trypanosoma cruzi are reviewed, including the cytoskeleton of the protozoan, especially the sub-pellicular microtubules, and the process of interaction of the parasite with host cells are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sterol Biosynthesis Pathway as Target for Anti-trypanosomatid Drugs.

Wanderley de Souza, +1 more
- 05 Aug 2009 - 
TL;DR: The results show that the mitochondrial membrane as well as the membrane lining the protozoan cell body and flagellum are the main targets, and apoptosis-like and autophagic processes induced by several of the inhibitors tested led to parasite death.
