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

Livia Piatti, Alina Batzilla, Fumio Nakaki…·Maria Bernabeu

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.
