Binding Heterogeneity of Plasmodium falciparum to Engineered 3D Brain Microvessels Is Mediated by EPCR and ICAM-1

Binding Heterogeneity of Plasmodium falciparum to Engineered 3D Brain Microvessels Is Mediated by EPCR and ICAM-1

Cerebral malaria research has been hindered by the inaccessibility of the brain. Here, we have developed an engineered 3D human brain microvessel model that mimics the blood flow rates and architecture of small blood vessels to study how P. falciparum-infected human erythrocytes attach to brain endo...
