Exosomes from Plasmodium-infected Hosts Inhibit Tumor Angiogenesis
A research group led by Prof. CHEN Xiaoping from the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health (GIBH) of Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed a new mechanism about exosomes from Plasmodium-infected hosts inhibit tumor angiogenesis. The study was published in Oncogenesis. Malaria infection has been ...
