Drugging the Schistosome Zinc-Dependent HDACs: Current Progress and Future Perspectives
1 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Schistosomes, like many eukaryotic pathogens, typically display morphologically distinct stages during their life cycles. Epigenetic mechanisms underlie the pathogens' morphological transformations, and the targeting of epigenetics-driven cellular programs therefore represents an Achilles' heel of parasites. To speed up the search for new antiparasitic agents, drugs validated for other diseases can be rationally...
