Better late than never, but I am thrilled to share our newest research from the Treeck lab!!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The fast-evolving FIKK kinase family of Plasmodium falciparum can be inhibited by a single compound - Nature Microbiology
FIKK effector kinases underwent rapid evolutionary expansion and are a druggable target in Plasmodium falciparum.

A metabolite-based resistance mechanism against malaria
Jaundice is a common presentation of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, which arises from the accumulation of circulating bilirubin. It is not understood whether it represents an adaptive or maladaptive r...
