Hepcidin: The Gatekeeper of Iron in Malaria Resistance

2023-06-07

Abstract excerpt

Malaria, a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, remains a global health challenge. Understanding the intricate dynamics between the host's iron regulation and the survival strategies of the parasites is crucial for the development of innovative antimalarial strategies. Hepcidin, a central regulator of iron homeostasis, has emerged as a key player in the host's defense against malaria. This comp...
