Molecules . 2021 Nov; 26(21). PMID: 34771151
Chagas disease, a chronic and silent disease caused by , is currently a global public health problem. The treatment of this neglected disease relies on benznidazole and nifurtimox, two nitroheterocyclic...

Tucci A, Oliveira Jr F, Lechuga G, Oliveira G, Eleuterio A, Mesquita L, et al.
Braz J Infect Dis . 2020 Sep; 24(5):386-397. PMID: 32931757
Cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction are a significant complication of chronic Chagas disease, with heart failure, stroke, and sudden death related to disease progression. Thus, understanding the signaling pathways involved in...

Melo T, Adesse D, Meirelles M, Pereira M
Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz . 2019 Aug; 114:e180593. PMID: 31433004
Background: Cardiac physiology depends on coupling and electrical and mechanical coordination through the intercalated disc. Focal adhesions offer mechanical support and signal transduction events during heart contraction-relaxation processes. Talin links...

Nogueira A, Leve F, Morgado-Diaz J, Tedesco R, Pereira M
Parasitology . 2016 Mar; 143(5):568-75. PMID: 26928468
Ocular toxoplasmosis is the most frequent cause of uveitis, leading to partial or total loss of vision, with the retina the main affected structure. The cells of the retinal pigment...

de Melo T, Meirelles M, Pereira M
Microbes Infect . 2008 Sep; 10(12-13):1405-10. PMID: 18778790
We analyzed the distribution and expression of cadherin and beta-catenin during Trypanosoma cruzi-cardiomyocyte interaction. Confocal microscopy revealed cadherin associated with beta-catenin at the cell-cell contacts. After 24h of infection, the...

Silva D, de Nazareth S L de Meirelles M, Almeida D, Urbina J, Pereira M
Int J Antimicrob Agents . 2006 May; 27(6):530-7. PMID: 16713188
We have previously shown that Trypanosoma cruzi-infected cardiomyocytes present alterations in cytoskeletal organisation in vitro. The remarkable change in the host cell cytoskeleton opened up the question of whether treatment...

Calvet C, Toma L, De Souza F, de Nazareth S L de Meirelles M, Pereira M
J Eukaryot Microbiol . 2003 May; 50(2):97-103. PMID: 12744521
Cytoadherence is an important step for the invasion of a mammalian host cell by Trypanosoma cruzi. Cell surface macromolecules are implicated in the T. cruzi-cardiomyocyte recognition process. Therefore, we investigated...
