Conditional expression of PfAP2-G for controlled massive sexual conversion in Plasmodium falciparum.
Oriol Llorà-Batlle,Lucas Michel-Todó,Kathrin Witmer,Haruka Toda,Carmen Fernandez-Becerra,Jake Baum,Alfred Cortés +6 more
TL;DR: A system for controlled sexual conversion in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, based on conditional expression of the PfAP2-G transcription factor is described, enabling the characterization of committed and early sexual stages without further purification.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that plasma-derived EVs from Plasmodium vivax patients (PvEVs) are preferentially uptaken by human spleen fibroblasts as compared to the uptake of EVs from healthy individuals, facilitating parasite cytoadherence.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed multiparameter flow cytometry combined with cell purification techniques to determine human spleen cell populations from transplantation donors, and found that the spleen is a secondary lymphoid organ with multiple functions including the removal of senescent red blood cells and the coordination of immune responses against blood-borne pathogens, such as malaria parasites.
