Journal Article
Grab, D. J., Chakravorty, S. J., van der Heyde, H., & Stins, M. F. (2011). How can microbial interactions with the blood-brain barrier modulate astroglial and neuronal function?: How can the blood-brain barrier endothelium influence the brain?. Cellular Microbiology, 13(10), 1470-1478. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-5822.2011.01661.x

The vascular endothelium of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is regarded as a part of the neurovascular unit (NVU). This emerging NVU concept emphasizes the need for homeostatic signalling among the neuronal, glial and vascular endothelial cellular comp...

Altered phenotype and gene transcription in endothelial cells, induced by Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells: Pathogenic or protective?. International Journal for Parasitology, 37(8-9), 975-987. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpara.2007.02.006

Severe malaria is associated with sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells (PRBC) in the microvasculature and elevation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and TNF. In vitro co-culture of human umbilical vein endothel...

To model the later stages of neutrophil migration into tissue, we developed an assay in which human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured on porous filters, treated with the inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF), and t...

The effect of Plasmodium falciparum infection on expression of monocyte surface molecules (2006)
Journal Article
Jenkins, N., Chakravorty, S., Urban, B., Kai, O., Marsh, K., & Craig, A. (2006). The effect of Plasmodium falciparum infection on expression of monocyte surface molecules. Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 100(11), 1007-1012. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trstmh.2006.01.005

Plasmodium falciparum infection may result in severe malaria in susceptible individuals. The pathogenesis of severe disease is probably a combination of the sequestration of infected erythrocytes and overstimulation of the immune response. Monocytes...

The Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) is a key virulence factor for this species of human malarial parasite. PfEMP1 is expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes (IEs) and directly mediates adhesion to a variety of...

Parasite sequestration at microvascular sites is a fundamental phenomenon in the manifestation of the symptoms of malaria and the progression to severe disease. Here, we review the endothelial cell-expressed intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)... Read More about The role of ICAM-1 in Plasmodium falciparum cytoadherence.
