Exploring the parallel development of microbial systems in neonates with cystic fibrosis.

abstract：:Malaria parasites increase their host erythrocyte's permeability to various nutrients, fueling intracellular pathogen development and replication. The plasmodial surface anion channel (PSAC) mediates this uptake and is linked to the parasite-encoded RhopH complex, consisting of CLAG3, RhopH2, and RhopH3. While interac...
