Unlabelled: Malaria, caused by spp., is a global health concern linked to anemia and increased mortality. Compensatory erythropoiesis seen during acute anemia results in an increased circulating reticulocyte count ( , immature RBC) a key factor in understanding the relationship between pre-existing anemia and burden.

Malaria parasites must respond quickly to environmental changes, including during their transmission between mammalian and mosquito hosts. Therefore, female gametocytes proactively produce and translationally repress mRNAs that encode essential proteins that the zygote requires to establish a new infection. While the release of translational repression of individual mRNAs has been documented, the details of the global release of translational repression have not.

This study focused on the synthesis, structural validation, and evaluation of the antiplasmodial efficacy of brachangobinan A (BA) and its enantiomers, (+)-BA and (-)-BA, as potential antimalarial agents. BA, (+)-BA, and (-)-BA were synthesized through chemical processes and validated via advanced spectroscopic techniques. In vitro studies were conducted to assess their efficacy against Plasmodium falciparum strains 3D7 and K1 by determining their half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) values, cytotoxicity profiles, and selectivity indices.

Malaria remains a significant global public health problem. T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, a subset of CD4 T cells, have the capacity to regulate B cells, plasma cells, and antibody production, among other functions. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) possess strong immunosuppressive abilities and can negatively regulate various immune responses.

Recently, virus-like particles have been regarded as a promising platform for displaying foreign peptides or proteins on their surface. In this study, a dual-protein-displaying platform based on the norovirus-like particle (NoV-LP) was developed using SpyTag (SpT)/SpyCatcher (SpC) protein bioconjugation. A short 14-amino-acid SpT peptide was added to the C-terminus of VP1, with a rigid "EAAAK" spacer in between.
