Malaria remains a global health challenge and despite the considerable progress made in the mortality rate, the 2025 target of the Global Technical Strategy 2016–2030 is still far from being reached. New strategies to improve patient management, prevent severe cases, and reduce deaths, are urgently needed. Exploring interactions between the malaria parasite and host red blood cells (RBCs) offers opportunities t...

Innovative strategies to control malaria are urgently needed. Exploring the interplay between Plasmodium sp. parasites and host red blood cells (RBCs) offers opportunities for novel antimalarial interventions. Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD), characterized by heightened 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) concentration, has been associated with protection against malaria. Elevated levels of 2,3-DPG, a specific ma...
Publisher Copyright: © 2023, The Author(s).; Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second most deathly worldwide. It is a very heterogeneous disease that can develop via distinct pathways where metastasis is the primary cause of death. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying metastasis. RNA-sequencing is an essential tool used for studying the transcr...
