infected

An infected person’s cough contains contagious bacteria, which can be breathed in by anyone nearby.

Liver cells experience cellular stress when metabolism goes awry or when they become infected.

They developed a way to grow a network of human blood vessels in the laboratory and to pass human blood infected with live parasites through the vessels, thereby reconstructing the disease in a dish.

These experiments demonstrated that the antibodies were able to prevent the infected cells from accumulating, suggesting they might help stop the blockage that leads to severe malaria symptoms.

"We introduced the two antibodies into the vasculature and were impressed at how well they prevented infected blood cells from sticking to the vessels. It was striking to see inhibition readily apparent by eye."
