The multifunctional autophagy pathway in the human malaria parasite, <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>

11 Nov 2013

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is a catabolic pathway typically induced by nutrient starvation to recycle amino acids, but can also function in removing damaged organelles. In addition, this pathway plays a key role in eukaryotic development. To date, not much is known about the role of autophagy in apicomplexan parasites and more specifically in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Comparative genomic analysis has...
