CD44 cross-linking promotes <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> invasion

2025-07-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The ability of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to invade and replicate asexually within human red blood cells (RBCs) is central to its pathogenicity, accounting for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. RBC invasion is a multi-step process involving several host-parasite interactions, yet the host factors acting during invasion remain underexplored, largely due to the intractabi...
