Abstract:Introduction: Malaria remains a significant global health problem, particularly due to the human malaria parasitePlasmodium falciparum, which is responsible for most fatal infections. Infected red blood cells (iRBCs) evade spleen clearance by adhering to endothelial cells (ECs), triggering capillary blockage, inflammatory cytokine release, endothelial dysfunction, and altered vascular permeability, prompting an endothelial transcriptional response. Methods: The iRBCIT4var04/HBEC-5i model, where iRBCs present I… Show more
