Excerpt

Antibodies mediate naturally acquired immunity to the asexual blood stages of human malaria. Merozoite surface antigen-specific antibodies inhibit the in vitro growth and development of the parasite P. falciparum, although the functional mechanisms of this inhibition are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the functional mechanisms of in vitro growth inhibition by antibodies to merozoite surface protein 3.3C. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
