Emirati university advances malaria research
A recent study from New York University Abu Dhabi revealed that the malaria parasite relies on a specific type of fat containing linoleic acid for its growth and integration within the human body, opening the door to developing a more effective treatment for the disease. The study showed that the parasite selects a particular dietary source rather than exploiting all nutrients, providing a new target for therapy. These findings contribute to understanding how the parasite survives within the host and assist in designing improved treatment strategies to combat malaria.
