Shutting Down Genes to Illuminate the Interaction Between the Macrophage and Leishmania

Shutting Down Genes to Illuminate the Interaction Between the Macrophage and Leishmania

The diseases caused by the parasite belonging to the genus Leishmania represent a public heath challenge both at national and international levels. Current knowledge about macrophage-parasite interaction still remains insufficient in order to be translated into more effective patient treatments. The present manuscript aspires to be a communication to nonspecialists and the general public, aiming to explain the importance of this type of basic science as well as the strategy followed by our research group, in the pursuit of solutions to the burden represented by Leishmaniasis.

La enfermedad causada por los parásitos del género Leishmania representa un problema de salud pública de importancia a nivel nacional e internacional. El conocimiento actual de la interacción entre el macrófago humano y el parásito aún luce insuficiente para reflejarse en mejoras del tratamiento empleado. El presente manuscrito aspira a ser un texto de divulgación para el púbico general y trata de explicar la importancia de este tipo de investigación científica y la estrategia empleada por nuestro grupo de investigación, en la búsqueda de soluciones al flagelo representado por los diferentes tipos de Leishmaniasis.
