There is a constant war going on in your body. Working against you are viruses and cancer cells growing uncontrollably, threatening your tissues and organs. Fighting on your side are immune cells such ...

By capturing malaria parasites mid-invasion, researchers revealed the structure of a key invasion complex and used it to design a mini-protein that prevented parasites from entering red blood cells.

Red blood cells normally cannot move on their own; they lack any of the cell structures needed for movement. Instead, they deliver oxygen throughout the body by going with the flow of blood. So, when ...
