The endothelial protein C receptor and malaria
Abstract
In this issue of Blood, Moxon et al provide novel insight into the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria, linking loss of the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) on brain vessels, caused by cytoadherent infected erythrocytes, with localized coagulation, inflammation, and disruption of endothelial barrier function.
