Researchers identified an enzyme that helps Plasmodium-infected red blood cells adhere to the placenta, providing molecular insights into placental malaria. “This is a really lovely piece of science,” ...
Plasmodium falciparum uses RIFIN proteins to bind to the inhibitory receptor KIR2DL1 on natural killer (NK) cells, thereby evading their attack. Conversely, NK cells can recognize RIFIN via the ...
Engineers at Stanford University have developed a high-efficiency, battery/solar-operated, autonomous microscope with ...
WASHINGTON, May 22 (Reuters) - Scientists seeking a vaccine against malaria, which kills a child every minute in Africa, have developed a promising new approach intended to imprison the ...
Brazilian researchers have developed a synthetic compound that has the potential to treat malaria and block its transmission. The new molecule acts during three phases of the disease cycle, ...

Researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) sought to understand the mechanisms that drive the creation of atypical B cells (ABCs) in the immune system, which were seen as “junk cells.” ...
The length of telomeres in white blood cells, known as leukocytes, varies significantly among sub-Saharan African populations, researchers report. Moreover, leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is ...
