Bradykinin Sequestration by Plasmodium berghei Infected Erythrocytes Conditions B2R Signaling and Parasite Uptake by Fetal Trophoblasts

Plasmodium infection during pregnancy causes placental malfunction reducing fetus sustainability and leading to abortions, stillbirths, low birth weight or premature delivery. Accumulation of infected erythrocytes (IE) in the placenta is a key factor in placental malaria pathogenesis but the role pl...
