A Molecular Signature in Blood Reveals a Role for p53 in Regulating Malaria-Induced Inflammation

Immunity, Volume 51, No. 4, Year 2019

The mechanisms that protect from febrile malaria remain unclear. Tran et al. applied a systems-based approach to a longitudinal pediatric study to identify immune signatures that associate with control of malaria fever and parasitemia, revealing that p53 upregulation in monocytes attenuates malaria-induced inflammation and predicts protection from fever.
