Structural basis for placental malaria mediated by Plasmodium falciparum VAR2CSA

Rui Ma et al.

Summary: Plasmodium falciparum VAR2CSA protein binds to chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) on the surface of syncytiotrophoblast, potentially providing pathways for interventions against placental malaria and cancer.

VAR2CSA-Mediated Host Defense Evasion of Plasmodium falciparum Infected Erythrocytes in Placental Malaria

Alice Tomlinson et al.

Summary: Placental malaria is characterized by accumulation of infected erythrocytes in the placenta, causing local inflammation and severe clinical outcomes for both mother and child. The malaria parasite uses evasion mechanisms to ensure its survival during placental malaria.
