Malaria pathogenesis is driven by intricate molecular interactions between Plasmodium parasites and human host cells, among which glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors play a pivotal role. GPI ...

Malaria pathogenesis reflects a complex interplay between Plasmodium parasites and the host immune system, in which T cells occupy centre stage. CD4+ T helper 1 (Th1) cells drive protective immunity ...

Cerebral malaria is one of a number of clinical syndromes associated with infection by human malaria parasites of the genus Plasmodium. The etiology of cerebral malaria derives from sequestration of ...

Unusually high levels of blood congestion in vessels feeding the brain may lead to severe swelling, scientists have found in a discovery that solves a longstanding malaria mystery: how the infection ...

Two hemoglobin mutations, including one that causes sickle cell anemia, may protect people from severe malaria by gumming up the cellular machinery the parasite uses to transmit deadly proteins to the ...

Researchers report that the discovery of a malaria protein that helps the parasite grow inside red blood cells and plays a key regulatory role in the parasite’s immune evasion tactics could pave the ...
