Abstract
In this issue, Adams et al. (2021. J. Exp. Med. https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20201266) show that red blood cells infected with strains of Plasmodium falciparum, which are commonly found in cerebral malaria patients, are specifically internalized by brain endothelial cells, perhaps contributing to the symptoms of the disease.
摘要
本期杂志中，Adams 等人（2021，《实验医学杂志》，https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20201266）表明，感染常见于脑型疟疾患者的恶性疟原虫的红细胞可被脑内皮细胞特异性内化，这可能是导致疾病症状的原因之一。
