Scientists captured malaria's invasion structure in atomic detail, revealing how it actively reshapes red blood cell ...

Plasmodium falciparum resistance to artemisinin derivatives, the first-line antimalarial drug, drives the search for new classes of chemotherapeutic agents. Current discovery is primarily directed ...

A safe and effective malaria vaccine is high on the wish list of most people concerned with global health. New results suggest how a leading vaccine candidate could be vastly improved. A safe and ...

Scientists at La Trobe University have discovered a new antibody-like molecule that could be used in therapy to prevent infection from multiple malaria parasite species. Led by Professor Michael Foley ...

A protein that plays a critical role in helping malaria parasites infect red blood cells—known as apical membrane protein 1 (AMA1)—has been found to bind to more than one receptor on the surface of ...

An experimental vaccine designed to spur production of antibodies against a key malaria parasite protein, AMA1, was developed more than decade ago. It showed promise in test-tube and animal ...

Writing in Cell Reports, researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and collaborators have presented a multifaceted analysis and structure-function study of a ...

A safe and effective malaria vaccine is high on the wish list of most people concerned with global health. Results published on December 26 in PLOS Pathogens suggest how a leading vaccine candidate ...
