An essential role for the Plasmodium Nek-2 Nima-related protein kinase in the sexual development of malaria parasites

The molecular control of cell division and development in malaria parasites is far from understood. We previously showed that a Plasmodium gametocyte-specific NIMA-related protein kinase, nek-4, is required for completion of meiosis in the ookinete, the mo ...

New antiplasmodial natural products from cyanobacteria: linking their ecological role to their therapeutic potential

Karl Gademann, Cyril Portmann

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) produce many metabolites that are directed towards competing photoautotrophs. Such algicidal compounds might offer new approaches for the selective inhibition of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, as this organism ...

A synthetic membrane protein in tethered lipid bilayers for immunosensing in whole blood

Horst Arthur Vogel, Samuel Terrettaz, Solomzi Makohliso

Tethered lipid bilayers, containing a transmembrane synthetic ligand-gated ion channel (SLIC), have been formed on gold surfaces. The SLIC was designed as a highly selective receptor and reporter protein to detect antibodies in whole blood, which are of im ...
