Biomarkers of cellular aging during a controlled human malaria infection

Abstract Cellular aging is difficult to study in individuals with natural infection, given the diversity of symptom duration and clinical presentation, and the high interference of aging-related processes with host and environmental factors. To address this challenge, we took advantage of the contro...
