Fetal Origins of Malarial Disease: Cord Blood Cytokines as Risk Markers for Pediatric Severe Malarial Anemia

TL;DR: It is suggested that proinflammatory cytokine levels at birth are inversely associated with SMA risk and support the hypothesis that pediatric malarial disease has fetal origins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cord Blood Hepcidin: Cross-Sectional Correlates and Associations with Anemia, Malaria, and Mortality in a Tanzanian Birth Cohort Study.

TL;DR: It is suggested that hepcidin may have utility as a biomarker indicating children's susceptibility to anemia and infection in early life, and longitudinal measurements of hePCidin and iron stores are required to strengthen causal inference.

Allelic variants of full-length VAR2CSA, the placental malaria vaccine candidate, differ in antigenicity and receptor binding affinity

TL;DR: Renn et al. as discussed by the authors compared seven recombinant full-length VAR2CSA ectodomains and compared them for antigenicity and adhesiveness, showing significant inter-allelic differences in adhesion and seroreactivity that may contribute to the heterogeneity of clinical presentations.
Journal ArticleDOI

IFN-λ4 is associated with increased risk and earlier occurrence of several common infections in African children.

TL;DR: In this article, a cohort of 914 Malian children were genotyped with functional variants of IFNL4-rs368234815, IFNL3-rs117648444, and IFNL 3-rs4803217 and analyzed episodes of malaria, gastrointestinal, and respiratory infections recorded at 30,626 clinic visits from birth up to 5 years of age.
Journal ArticleDOI

Azotomycin--toxicologic, biochemical and pharmacologic studies in mice.

TL;DR: It is suggested that DON, a classical antagonist of l -glutamine, is responsible for the toxicity of Azotomycin in these organs.
