Plasmodium falciparum impairs Ang-1 secretion by pericytes in a 3D brain microvessel model

Rory K. M. Long, François Korbmacher, Paolo Ronchi, Hannah Fleckenstein, Martin Schorb, Waleed Mirza, Mireia Mallorquí, Ruth Aguilar, Gemma Moncunill, Yannick Schwab, Maria Bernabeu

This paper shows that Plasmodium falciparum impairs Ang-1 secretion by pericytes in a 3D brain microvessel model, leading to vascular dysfunction that can be partially reversed with Ang-1 or AKB-9778.
