Protease activated receptor signaling is required for African trypanosome traversal of human brain microvascular endothelial cells.
<h4>Background</h4>Using human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) as an in vitro model for how African trypanosomes cross the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) we recently reported that the parasites cross the BBB by generating calcium activation signals in HBMECs through the a...
