Plasmodium falciparum egress disrupts endothelial junctions and activates JAK-STAT signaling in a microvascular 3D blood-brain barrier model

This study shows that Plasmodium falciparum egress products disrupt BBB endothelial junctions and activate JAK-STAT signaling, leading to increased permeability and suggesting therapeutic targets.

Hexosamine Biosynthesis Disruption Impairs GPI Production and Arrests Plasmodium falciparum Growth at Schizont Stages

This study shows that disrupting the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway in Plasmodium falciparum blocks GPI production, arrests parasite growth, and prevents egress from host cells.

Inter-individual and inter-regional variability of breast milk antibody reactivity to bacterial lipopolysaccharides

The paper examines variability in breast milk antibody reactivity to bacterial lipopolysaccharides between rural Kenya and urban Switzerland, finding broad reactivity in Kenya and cross-reactivity with parasitic pathogens.
