Deformability of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized red blood cells
… display decreased deformability and novel cytoadherence properties, and sequester in the microcirculation. Parasite-exported proteins that interact with the pRBC membrane are identified as the cause for these alterations. It is postulated that sequestration of pRBCs is responsible for …

Biophysical properties of blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum malaria: from single-cell host-pathogen interactions to human protective polymorphisms
… to a range of fatal conditions. To study malaria cytoadherence to endothelial cells, a microfluidic device was designed to produce an in vitro physiologically relevant model of human circulation. Increasing cytoadhesion was experimentally associated with endothelial glycocalyx disruption as …

Dynamic behavior of healthy and malaria infected human red blood cells
… lead to altered cell shape, deformability, cytoadherence and rheology which may in turn, promote the onset of vaso-occlusive events and crises that may ultimately cause pain, stroke, organ damage and possibly death. Previous work by our group and others has shown that the RBC membrane …
