Department of Microbiology : “How to design a kill switch: A lesson from the AIM2-ASC inflammasome”
The AIM2-ASC inflammasome is a filamentous signaling platform essential for mounting host defense against cytoplasmic double-stranded (ds)DNA, which signals various maladies such as pathogen invasion and genomic instability. We show here that longer dsDNA […]
Assessing Plasmodium gametocyte sex ratio and its impact on transmission – Teun Bousema
Teun Bousema – Radboud university medical center (The Netherlands) Male and female gametocytes are needed for successful transmission of Plasmodium infections to mosquitoes. In P. falciparum gametocytes frequently circulate in low yet infectious densities […]
