Development of Plasmodium falciparum liver-stages in hepatocytes derived from human fetal liver organoid cultures
2 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) parasite development in liver represents the initial step of the life-cycle in the human host after a Pf-infected mosquito bite. While an attractive stage for life-cycle interruption, understanding of parasite-hepatocyte interaction is inadequate due to limitations of existing in vitro models. We explore the suitability of hepatocyte organoids (HepOrgs) for Pf-development and show that...
