Macrophages and parasites: mortal enemies or partners in crime?

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The mammalian immune system has evolved to protect our body from a wide variety of dangers. Fending off pathogens is a major function and under most circumstances it does so efficiently and effectively. However, parasitic pathogens have developed effective means to dampen and abuse the immune system in order to establish themselves within a host.
