The parasite that causes malaria requires precise control of gene expression to progress through the various stages of its ...

Apicoplasts are organelles that were discovered in parasites like the one that causes malaria. How did scientists discover these organelles, and what do they do?

A multinational team has identified PfSnf2L, a key epigenetic regulator in Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria ...

Epigenetic inhibitors as a promising new antimalarial intervention strategy? A new study identifies an inhibitor of gene regulation that specifically kills the malaria pathogen.

The parasite that causes malaria requires precise control of gene expression to progress through the various stages of its ...

Scientists are exploring the key proteins and metabolic pathways in Plasmodium falciparum to develop new drugs to prevent malaria. Pink block arrows indicate the steps inhibited by antimalarial ...

The study also revealed significant differences in the regulatory mechanisms of Plasmodium compared to other eukaryotes. The parasite lacks several typical cell cycle regulators, including polo ...

The journey to eliminate malaria is complex, hindered by the parasite's adaptability and challenges in vaccine development.

A new, comprehensive map of all the genes essential for blood infections in Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi), a parasite that causes malaria in humans, has been generated. The map contains the most ...
