    Common host variation drives malaria parasite fitness in healthy human red cells

    Emily R Ebel, Frans A Kuypers ... Elizabeth S Egan
    Human red blood cells from healthy donors display marked biophysical and genetic variation that impacts the growth of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites, outside of known disease alleles.

    Improving statistical power in severe malaria genetic association studies by augmenting phenotypic precision

    James A Watson, Carolyne M Ndila ... Nicholas J White
    Complete blood count data can increase the accuracy of the diagnosis of severe malaria in children in high transmission settings.

    Use of signals of positive and negative selection to distinguish cancer genes and passenger genes

    László Bányai, Maria Trexler ... László Patthy
    In contrast with earlier conclusions, negative selection has a major role in cancer evolution.

    Modelling the contribution of the hypnozoite reservoir to Plasmodium vivax transmission

    Michael T White, Stephan Karl ... Azra C Ghani
    Mathematical models of the build-up and depletion of the hypnozoite reservoir in the liver can inform the design of treatment strategies for preventing Plasmodium vivax relapse infections.

    Sex-based differences in clearance of chronic Plasmodium falciparum infection

    Jessica Briggs, Noam Teyssier ... Bryan Greenhouse
    Lower malaria prevalence in females does not appear to be due to lower rates of infection but rather due to faster clearance of asymptomatic infections.

    Estimating the burden of α-thalassaemia in Thailand using a comprehensive prevalence database for Southeast Asia

    Carinna Hockham, Supachai Ekwattanakit ... Frédéric B Piel
    The incorporation of as yet underused local epidemiological data on α-thalassaemia in Southeast Asia within a geostatistical model suggests that the burden of severe α-thalassaemia forms may have been underestimated.

    Major transcriptional changes observed in the Fulani, an ethnic group less susceptible to malaria

    Jaclyn E Quin, Ioana Bujila ... Ann-Kristin Östlund Farrants
    Examining gene expression in the Fulani, an ethnic group relatively protected from malaria, identifies a more transcriptionally reactive response in cells of the innate immune system.

    Glycolysis upregulation is neuroprotective as a compensatory mechanism in ALS

    Ernesto Manzo, Ileana Lorenzini ... Daniela C Zarnescu
    Degenerating motor neurons compensate for energetic deficits by upregulating glycolysis in flies and humans, with increased glucose availability improving locomotor function and lifespan in flies.

    Autonomous metabolic reprogramming and oxidative stress characterize endothelial dysfunction in acute myocardial infarction

    Erika Zodda, Olga Tura-Ceide ... Marta Cascante
    Acute myocardial infarction patient-derived endothelial cells display a strong mitochondrial proton coupling with excess ROS production, enhanced glutamine metabolism and a carbon source switch from glucose to glutamine.

    The chromatin-remodeling enzyme Smarca5 regulates erythrocyte aggregation via Keap1-Nrf2 signaling

    Yanyan Ding, Yuzhe Li ... Feng Liu
    A new zebrafish RBC aggregation model is developed to explore the dynamic process and the underlying regulatory mechanisms in blood clot formation.
