Objective: Studying the biology of the human placenta represents a major experimental
challenge. Although conventional cell culture techniques have been used to study different …

Chagas disease (CD), caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is considered
a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization. Congenital transmission of …

Congenital Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is partially responsible for the
progressive globalization of Chagas disease despite of its low transmission rate. The …

At present, noncoding small RNAs are recognized as key players in novel forms of
posttranscriptional gene regulation in most eukaryotes. However, canonical small RNA …

Background Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite endemic to Latin
America. Most infections occur in children by vector or congenital transmission …

Problem Trypanosoma cruzi and Toxoplasma gondii present, respectively, low and high
congenital transmission rates. The placenta as an immune regulatory organ expresses TLR …

Introduction Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasiteTrypanosoma cruzi, has no
effective treatment available. On the other hand, microalgae are aquatic organisms that …

Congenital Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is
responsible for 22.5% of new cases each year. However, placental transmission occurs in …

Abstract Problem Congenital Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) infection has been associated
with changes in the levels of TNF‐α and IFN‐γ during the pregnancy. Therefore, we propose …

Introduction The congenital transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) is responsible for
one-third of new Chagas disease cases each year. During congenital transmission, the …
