Innate immune responses to Plasmodium falciparum disrupt the blood-brain barrier Plasmodium falciparum accumulation at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a hallmark of cerebral malaria, a life-threatening complication. Conversely, the contribution of the immune response to vascular ...

Pre-print alert 🚨
We answer a longstanding question in the field. Do immune cells cause cerebral malaria?

The answer is YES!!!! And independently of P. falciparum accumulation in the brain.

We are happy to show one ourt first exciting papers. We have developed a blood-brain barrier model to study the disruptive effects caused by the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.

How do embryos ensure precise tissue patterning? It’s all about timing cell divisions! Our new preprint reveals how cell proliferation syncs with signaling oscillations to regulate precision of somite formation and growth. Check the full story: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Imagine being an engineer asked to build a material that withstands 100% strain, 150 times per minuteβ€”for a lifetime. Now imagine having to build it while it’s already functioning. That’s exactly what the heart does.
