The paper develops synthetic glycan fragments of T. brucei GPIs to detect antibodies against the parasite, showing they elicit both IgM and IgG responses, enabling diagnostic tests for African trypanosomiasis and Nagana.

This study identifies VSIG4-expressing peritoneal macrophages as key players in anti-parasitic and anti-metastatic responses in the peritoneal cavity.

This study investigates the role of intrinsic disorder in invariant surface glycoproteins (ISGs) of African trypanosomes, showing they can switch between compact and elongated conformers to balance immune evasion and host interaction.
