Febrile temperature enhances Plasmodium falciparum and neutrophil adhesion by disrupting the endothelial glycocalyx

Viola Introini, Rory K. M. Long, Olawunmi Rashidat Oyerinde, María Gestal-Mato, Sílvia Sanz, Iván de Jesús Rizo Álvarez, Letícia Hartmann, Frank Stein, Gyu Min Hwang, Borja López-Gutiérrez, Karl B. Seydel, Gretchen Lano Birbeck, Maria Bernabeu
