Malaria parasite impairs key immune system cells
Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for malaria, impairs the ability of key cells of the immune system to trigger an efficient immune response. view more (2006-04-12)
How bad is malaria anemia? It may depend on your genes
Cell and animal studies conducted jointly by scientists at Johns Hopkins, Yale and other institutions have uncovered at least one important contributor to the severe anemia that kills almost half of the 2 million people worldwide who die each year of malaria. view more (2006-05-12)
Cerebral malaria: Approaching a diagnostic test
Scientists at CNRS and the Pasteur Institute, collaborating with physicians in Gabon, have just undertaken a study on cerebral malaria in children living in an endemic region. view more (2007-05-04)
Malaria Parasites Develop in Lymph Nodes
In the first quantitative, real-time imaging study of the travels of the malaria parasite Plasmodium through mammalian tissue, researchers at the Pasteur Institute in Paris found the parasites developing in an unexpected place: the lymph nodes. view more (2006-01-23)
Malaria mechanism revealed
By determining the molecular structure of a protein that enables malaria parasites to invade red blood cells, researchers have uncovered valuable clues for rational antimalarial drug design and vaccine development. view more (2005-07-29)
Possible new compound for treatment of cerebral malaria
In a paper published online in PLoS Medicine researchers from Marseille describe the effects of a new compound that may be a future treatment for patients with cerebral malaria. view more (2005-08-23)
Tracking membranes of rupturing blood cells sheds light on malaria infection
By specially tagging the outer and inner membranes of red blood cells infected with the malaria parasite and tracking the cellular changes that precede the cell bursting event that disperses parasites to other blood cells, a group of researchers has deepened our understanding of how the malaria pathogen destroys the cells in which it resides. view more (2005-09-22)
McGill researchers report breakthrough in rapid malaria detection
A research team led by Dr. Paul Wiseman of the Departments of Physics and Chemistry at McGill University has developed a radically new technique that uses lasers and non-linear optical effects to detect malaria infection in human blood, according to a study published in the Biophysical Journal. view more (2007-12-20)
Researchers discover how malaria parasite disperses from red blood cells
Researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development have determined the sequence in which the malaria parasite disperses from the red blood cells it infects. view more (2005-09-20)
MIT-led team ID's cell mechanics of hallmark malaria protein
During the first 24 hours of invasion by the malaria-inducing parasite Plasmodium falciparum, red blood cells start to lose their ability to deform and squeeze through tiny blood vessels--one of the hallmarks of the deadly disease that infects nearly 400 million people each year. view more (2007-05-29)
Identified mechanism in the malaria parasite to help it adapt to infected individuals
Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most severe forms of human malaria. Invasion of host red blood cells is an essential step of the complex life cycle of this parasite. view more (2007-08-03)
Gene expands malaria's invasion options
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum uses different pathways to invade red blood cells, evading the body's immune system and complicating efforts to create effective vaccines against the disease. view more (2005-08-26)
A new metal detector to study human disease
Zinc may be a familiar dietary supplement to millions of health-conscious people, but it remains a mystery metal to scientists who study zinc's role in Alzheimer's disease, stroke and other health problems. view more (2006-03-22)
Eye-opening research provides important diagnostic tool for major childhood killer
The eye can provide a very reliable way of diagnosing cerebral malaria, researchers in Malawi have shown. view more (2006-11-07)
Bright white beetle dazzles scientists
An obscure species of beetle could teach us how to produce brilliant white ultra-thin materials, according to a research team led by the University of Exeter. view more (2007-01-19)
Stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment
Identification, isolation and large scale culture of stem cells for potential medical applications is a major challenge in cell biology. view more (2007-04-25)
Fighting cancer with aspirin?
When looking for new weapons in the war on cancer, scientists should turn to their medicine cabinets for an age-old remedy-aspirin. According to scientists at the University of Newcastle (UK), aspirin has cancer-fighting effects that extend beyond already understood Cox inhibitors. view more (2006-10-02)
Man-made prostate created by women
In a giant step towards understanding prostate disease, Melbourne scientists have grown a human prostate from embryonic stem cells. view more (2006-02-23)
Diabetes complications rooted in faulty cell repair
University of Florida researchers say primitive cells that act like molecular maintenance men-traveling throughout the body to repair damaged blood vessels-become too rigid to move in patients with diabetes, fueling the disease's vascular complications. view more (2006-01-26)
Red grapefruit appears to lower cholesterol, fight heart disease
In a controlled study group of patients with heart disease, the scientists found that feeding some patients the equivalent of one grapefruit daily significantly reduced levels of cholesterol in comparison to patients that did not eat grapefruit. view more (2006-02-09)
