This project explores a malaria protein that binds specifically to cancer cells, leveraging its unique interaction with placental tissue to target and inhibit cancer growth and metastasis. The research aims to develop a novel diagnostic tool for various cancer types based on this refined biological mechanism.
We have recently discovered a malaria protein which has shown a high potential in cancer treatment.
In pregnant women, malaria infected red blood cells express a protein that binds to a distinct carbohydrate structure present only on cells of the maternal side of the placental circulation, but not elsewhere in the vasculature.
This highly evolved binding system enables the parasite to evade clearance and infect placental tissue, causing pregnancy-associated malaria.
This malaria protein binds to…
