Dimethyl fumarate reduces TNF and Plasmodium falciparum induced brain endothelium activation in vitro
Abstract Background Cerebral malaria (CM) is associated with morbidity and mortality despite the use of potent anti-malarial agents. Brain endothelial cell activation and dysfunction from oxidative and inflammatory host responses and products released by Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (...
