This study evaluates mRNA vaccines encoding PfMSP2, showing they induce strong IgG responses and functional antibodies against malaria merozoites, comparable to or better than a protein-based vaccine.

The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of the Plasmodium falciparum Pfs230-Pfs48/45 fertilization complex and identifies domains critical for function and vaccine design.

This paper shows that temporarily blocking type I interferon during viral infection boosts CD8+ T cell memory and vaccine effectiveness by promoting TSCM cell formation.
