Development of a malaria vaccine
Development of an effective malaria vaccine poses a major scientific challenge both in the laboratory and in the field. Such a vaccine is necessary because of the massive disease burden of malaria in the developing world, the global spread of drug resistance, and the difficulty of sustainable control of the mosquito vector. Animal models have shown the

Synthetic Ligands of Myeloid C‐Type Lectin Receptors
Binding of ligands to C‐type lectin receptors (CLRs) on myeloid cells can lead to an array of cellular responses. Exploitation of these receptors for therapeutic purposes requires high‐affinity ligands. This review surveys the diversity of synthetic ligands of myeloid CLRs in the context of binding, signaling, and downstream effects, as well as ...

Metal–Drug Complexes as Long‐Release Application for Antimalarial PfFNT‐Inhibitors
P. falciparum formate‐nitrite transporter (PfFNT) inhibitors have emerged as a novel antimalarial class with potent in vivo and liver‐stage activity. Low‐solubility metal–inhibitor complexes were prepared as potential long‐acting injectables.
