<i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> exploits NUAK1 to establish infection in human erythrocytes

2025-10-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum continues to demonstrate growing drug resistance, raising the need for innovative treatments. Host-directed therapeutics are emerging as a promising approach for many infectious diseases, but knowledge of critical host factors for malaria is limited. P. falciparum is an obligate intracellular parasite of human erythrocytes, suggesting it has evolved t...
