The secrets of the malaria parasite's nucleus: How the parasite penetrates the command center of immune cells

  • No comments
A study by Weizmann Institute of Science scientists reveals that the malaria parasite sends RNA molecules to the nucleus of immune system cells, disrupting their splicing mechanism and diverting the body's defense response from its target.

The malaria-causing parasite exacts a bloody toll from humanity, not least thanks to its ability to produce unique, dark crystals inside our blood cells. New research fully deciphers the structure of these crystals and calcns
