Previous studies have shown that proteins expressed on the surface of malaria-infected red blood cells, known as repetitive interspersed family (RIFIN) proteins, can bind to immune cell receptors ...

Antibodies from malaria-exposed individuals have been found to target a diverse family of proteins from the malaria-causing parasite. These proteins cause severe disease by enabling infected blood ...

Graphene is being engineered to block mosquito bites, interfere with parasite growth, and power portable malaria tests with ...

Researchers have designed a new microfluidics platform to study Babesia microti, a tick-borne parasite that causes Babesiosis ...

Publication: “Integrated proteomics and single-cell transcriptomics reveal immune dynamics and severity markers in acute Plasmodium falciparum malaria”, Maximilian Julius Lautenbach, Katja ...

Now, using spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing technologies, Stockholm University researchers have for the first time created a spatio-temporal map of malaria infection in the ...

A drug approved to treat rare genetic diseases can also make human blood toxic to the mosquitoes that spread malaria, a new study finds. The drug, called nitisinone, is currently used to treat two ...

Single-cell transcriptomics reveal transcriptional programs underlying male and female cell fate during Plasmodium falciparum gametocytogenesis. Nature Communications, 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038 ...
