immunologically privileged erythrocytes provides a relatively protective niche as well as …

Developing in silico models that accurately reflect a whole, functional cell is an ongoing
challenge in biology. Current efforts bring together mathematical models, probabilistic …

The most severe form of malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. These parasites
invade human erythrocytes, and an essential step in this process involves the ligand PfRh5 …

Cellular engulfment and uptake of macromolecular assemblies or nanoparticles via
endocytosis can be associated to both healthy and disease-related biological processes as …

Mature red blood cells (RBCs) lack internal organelles and canonical defense mechanisms,
making them both a fascinating host cell, in general, and an intriguing choice for the deadly …

The transport of particles across lipid-bilayer membranes is important for biological cells to
exchange information and material with their environment. Large particles often get wrapped …

Host membrane remodeling is indispensable for viruses, bacteria, and parasites, to subvert
the membrane barrier and obtain entry into cells. The malaria parasite Plasmodium spp …
