Malaria parasites both repress host CXCL10 and use it as a cue for growth acceleration

Malaria parasites both repress host CXCL10 and use it as a cue for growth acceleration

The chemokine CXCL10 is associated with pathogenesis of cerebral malaria in Plasmodium falciparum infection. Here the authors show that P. falciparum produces extracellular vesicles laden with RNAs that are taken up by monocytes resulting in a RIG-I and HUR-1 mediated mechanism of inhibition of CXCL...

Description
Summary:The chemokine CXCL10 is associated with pathogenesis of cerebral malaria in Plasmodium falciparum infection. Here the authors show that P. falciparum produces extracellular vesicles laden with RNAs that are taken up by monocytes resulting in a RIG-I and HUR-1 mediated mechanism of inhibition of CXCL10 protein translation.
