🚨 New preprint out! 🚨 Have you ever wondered of what happens to the vasculature exposed to febrile temperatures? In Maria Bernabeu's Lab @EMBLBarcelona we found that high temperatures cleaves endothelial glycocalyx, triggering malaria severity 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Febrile temperature enhances Plasmodium falciparum cytoadhesion by disrupting the endothelial...

Fever, a universal host defense in infection and inflammation, paradoxically contributes to neurological complications in malaria. While febrile temperatures enhance the expression of parasite...

This is conserved in lung 3D microvessels and induces neutrophil binding. We could reverse the temperature effect by protecting the endothelial glycocalyx with a broad MMP inhibitor.

This study highlights the importance of aggressive antipyretic treatments during malaria infection and has the potential to be extended to other infections. Thrilled to share this work with collaborators from the field and Maria Bernabeu's lab! Huge thanks to the whole team! 🙌
