Potential targets for treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis identified by University of São Paulo researchers

Brazilian researchers at the University of Sio Paulo's Bioscience Institute (IB-USP) are starting to unravel the molecular mechanisms by which the parasite that causes cutaneous leishmaniasis manages to circumvent the host organism's defenses and infect new cells. Cutaneous leishmaniasis, caused by protozoans of the genus Leishmania, produces skin lesions that are slow to heal. It ["]
