Plasmodium Falciparum-infected Erythrocytes Adhere to Class A Scavenger Receptor, SR-A [PDF]
Severe falciparum malaria such as cerebral malaria and severe anemia is leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells (pRBC) adhere to the endothelial cells via receptors expressed on the surface of the ...

Proximity‐dependent biotin identification using the egress‐related proteins G377, MDV1, and PPLP2 as bait was performed to identify additional components of the OBs and PPLP2‐positive egress vesicles. The analyses revealed multiple hits for each bait protein and subsequent colocalization experiments showed OB localization for two proteins, an ...

Vascular endothelial cells cultured from patients with cerebral or uncomplicated malaria exhibit differential reactivity to TNF. [PDF]
Plasmodium falciparum malaria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in African children, and factors that determine the development of uncomplicated (UM) versus cerebral malaria (CM) are not fully understood.

Natural killer (NK) cells make important contributions to anti‐malarial immunity through antibody‐dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), but the role of different components of this pathway in promoting NK cell activation remains unclear. We compared the functions and phenotypes of NK cells from malaria‐exposed and malaria‐naive donors, and then ...

DYNAMIC DETERMINANTS OF THE CYTOADHERENCE OF PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM–INFECTED ERYTHROCYTES
thologists also observed that the process was not uniform among the vital organs, noting particularly the “accumulation in the cerebral vessels of red blood corpuscles loaded with amoebae.” The result of this pathologic process was described as “mechanical alterations in the circulation”; or, in other words, a traffic jam.

Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Artemether and Lumefantrine During Combination Treatment in Children with Uncomplicated Falciparum Malaria in Tanzania. [PDF]
The combination of artemether (ARM) and lumefantrine is currently the first-line treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in mainland Tanzania. While the exposure to lumefantrine has been associated with the probability of adequate clinical and ...

Dynamic association of PfEMP1 and KAHRP in knobs mediates cytoadherence during Plasmodium invasion
Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes display membrane knobs that are essential for their adherence to vascular endothelia and for prevention of clearance by the spleen.
