JNU Scientists Remove Human Protein Malaria and Kala-Azar Need to Survive
Researchers at Jawaharlal Nehru University have identified a human protein that both malaria and kala-azar parasites exploit to survive inside the body. Removing it in the lab disrupted the parasites' ability to thrive, pointing to a possible new host-directed target for treatment. The work, published by the JNU team, suggests future therapies could weaken the parasites by cutting off the human molecules they depend on rather than attacking the parasites directly.
