A University of California, Riverside-led team has made an advance in the basic understanding of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the deadliest form of human malaria, that could make novel, highly targeted anti-malarial therapies possible. Led by Karine Le Roch, a professor of molecular, cell and systems biology, the...
NIH grant will allow UC Riverside-led team to focus on long non-coding RNAs in Plasmodium falciparum
In 2022, nearly 619,000 global deaths due to malaria were caused by Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent, prevalent, and deadly human malaria parasite. For decades, the parasite’s resistance to all antimalarial drugs has posed a big challenge for researchers working to stop the spread of the disease. A team led...
Identification of RNA-binding proteins using R-DeeP reveals new drug targets
UC Riverside-led study zeroes in on special RNA molecules in the human malaria parasite
UC Riverside-led research could lead to novel antimalarial therapeutic strategies
Study co-led by UC Riverside scientist could help develop strategies to combat the disease
UC Riverside-led research could help develop novel therapeutic strategies to combat malaria
A team of researchers led by a University of California, Riverside, scientist has found that various stages of the development of human malaria parasites, including stages involved in malaria transmission, are linked to epigenetic features and how chromatin — the complex of DNA and proteins within the nucleus — is...
