BigField GEG Tech's insight:
Drug delivery systems (DDSs) control when and how much drugs are delivered to the body. Numerous DDS studies have been conducted but most have focused on treatments for cancer. New research from Kumamoto University uses a DDS to treat malaria.

New insights into survival, transmission strategy of malaria parasites

New insights into survival, transmission strategy of malaria parasites | Bioscience News - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
From www.sciencedaily.com - August 14, 2014 5:45 AM
Malaria parasites exploit the function of the epigenetic regulator HP1 to promote survival and transmission between human hosts, a new study shows. Using HP1 the parasite controls expression of surface antigens to escape immune responses in the infected victim. This prolongs survival of the parasite in the human blood stream and secures its transmission via mosquitoes. The study paves important avenues for new intervention strategies to prevent severe disease and malaria transmission.

World Malaria Day: A Soap that Carries Hope | Bioscience News - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
From www.huffingtonpost.com - May 5, 2016 2:42 AM
The 25th of April is World Malaria Day, which aims to raise awareness about malaria an
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

Gerard Niyondiko, an engineer from Burundi who suffers from previous malaria infections identified the need for a new innovation. He invents Faso Soap, a mosquito repellent soap that can prevent malaria infection for up to six hours after use. It is the first project from the African continent to win the Global Social Ventures Competition (University of Berkeley)

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature13574.html#extended-data

BigField GEG Tech's insight:

The authors demonstrate an essential and universal role for HSP101 in protein export and provide strong evidence for PTEX function in protein translocation into the host cell.
