Host Cell Signaling and Trypanosoma cruzi Invasion: Do All Roads Lead to Lysosomes?
19 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan parasite that causes Chagas' disease in humans, is capable of invading and replicating within a wide variety of nucleated mammalian cell types. Host cell invasion by infective T. cruzi trypomastigotes is governed by parasite-triggered activation of host cell signaling pathways. Recent studies highlighting a role for host cell phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) in the T. cruzi...
