{"title":"The Bug Stops Here: Arresting Malaria Parasites in the Liver Gives Immunity","description":"<p>ISB researchers collaborated with Seattle BioMed researchers to identify molecular building blocks required by malaria parasites to build cell membranes. Deleting key genes necessary for building cell membranes created a parasite that does not make the host sick and can\u2019t be passed on through the blood. Treating mice with modified parasites gave them complete immunity against malaria.<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/www.systemsbiology.org\/research\/the-bug-stops-here-arresting-malaria-parasites-in-the-liver-gives-immunity\/"}
