Plasmodium falciparum egress disrupts endothelial junctions and activates JAK-STAT signaling in a microvascular 3D blood-brain barrier model
6 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Cerebral malaria is a severe neurovascular complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection, with high mortality rates even after treatment with effective antimalarials. Limitations in current experimental models have hindered our knowledge of the disease. We developed a 3D blood-brain barrier (BBB) model with enhanced barrier properties using primary brain endothelial cells, astrocytes, and pericytes. Exposure to...
