A little guide for advanced search:

Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
Example: "cell division"
Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
Example: +cell +stem
Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
Example: +cell -stem

e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

The destruction of erythrocytes is one of the most frequently observed causes of severe malarial anemia. Recently, we showed that tagging normal erythrocytes and cells of erythroid precursors with rhoptry-derived proteins can trigger their destruction. In the present study, we used rhoptry-associated protein (RAP)-1 and RAP-3 gene-disruption mutant Plasmodium falciparum parasites and showed that 2 members of a rhoptry protein complex, RAP-1 and RAP-2, bind to the surface of normal erythrocytes. Surface iodination experiments showed that RAP-1 but not RAP-3 mutant parasites lose their capacity to tag erythrocytes. This work opens new doors into the investigation of the molecular mechanism of anemia in patients with malaria.
