Role of astrocyte senescence regulated by the non– canonical autophagy in the neuroinflammation associated to cerebral malaria

Cerebral malaria (CM) is a fatal neuroinflammatory syndrome caused (in humans) by the protozoa Plasmodium (P.) falciparum. Glial cell activation is one of the mechanisms that contributes to neuroinflammation in CM.

Cerebral malaria (CM) is the deadliest complication of a Plasmodium (P.) falciparuminfection transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected female anopheles mosquito. According to the World Health Organization, malaria affects approximately 241 million people worldwide and resulted in 627,000 deaths from CM in 2020 (WHO, 2021).
