#Cyanotriazoles are selective topoisomerase II poisons that rapidly cure trypanosome infections https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adh0614

"#NeglectedTropicalDiseases caused by #SingleCelled #parasites (#trypanosomatids) include #ChagasDisease, #SleepingSickness & #leishmaniasis. Progress in treatment of these #diseases had been slow, though large chemical library screens are now showing promising results."

Giant #proteins in a giant cell: Molecular basis of ultrafast Ca2+-dependent cell contraction https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.add6550

"#Spirostomum, is a genus of millimeter-scale #SingleCelled #protists that are known for their incredibly rapid movement. They are capable of some of the fastest movement in the biological world due to their ultrafast contraction."

#introductions

Hello! I'm a #PostDoc in evolutionary #protistology. I study #evolution, #biodiversity, and #symbiosis in #protists ( = eukaryotic #microbes = #SingleCelled critters more complex than bacteria - eg. #amoebae, #ciliates, #flagellates, #microalgae, etc.) mostly using #genomics and #bioinformatics.

I come from #Prague, CZ & currently live in #Orsay, FR.

I'm interseted in #diversity & #evolution of all life, #earth & #space #science, #languages, #religion, #progressive politics.
