Pre-print alert 🚨 We answer a longstanding question in the field. Do immune cells cause cerebral malaria? The answer is YES!!!! And independently of P. falciparum accumulation in the brain. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

EMBL Barcelona researchers have created a lab-grown blood-brain barrier to show how the malaria parasite damages it, and have successfully tested potential therapeutics that could help prevent or even reverse the damage. #tissuebiology www.embl.org/news/science...

Very happy that I could be part of this!! 🎉 Huge thank you to my coauthor @liviapiatti.bsky.social, to @mariabernabeu.bsky.social, the whole lab, and everyone involved!! It was amazing to work with you on this great project!!

We are happy to show one ourt first exciting papers. We have developed a blood-brain barrier model to study the disruptive effects caused by the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. First, congratulations to the fearless @liviapiatti.bsky.social and @alinabatzi.bsky.social rdcu.be/ezBl7

We’re looking for PhD students to join the lab! 🧫🧑‍🔬 Curious about how metabolic processes shape patterning and morphogenesis? Enthusiastic about stem cell models for human development? - Then apply through the VBC PhD program! training.vbc.ac.at/phd-program/ ‼️Deadline: April 15‼️
