Astrocytes contribute to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS); however, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of astrocytic responses remain unknown. Here we report an exhaustive molecular and functional characterization of astrocyte reactivity following exposure to cerebrospinal fluid (CS...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens (Human) Mus musculus (Mouse)
Extracellular vesicles are major components of circulating plasma holding insights into pathological processes. Here, we demonstrate high levels of EVs in plasma from patients with Plasmodium vivax (PvEVs), the most widely distributed human malaria parasite. Moreover, mass spectrometry analysis iden...
ORGANISM(S): Plasmodium vivax Homo sapiens (Human)
Plasmodium vivax is a protozoan parasite responsible for the great majority of Malaria cases outside Sub-Saharan Africa. This parasite is characterized by the presence of latent liver stage forms called hypnozoites which cause relapsing blood infections estimated to contribute up to 79% of vivax ma...
