P2X7 receptor-mediated killing of an intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, by human and murine macrophagesThe P2X7R is highly expressed on the macrophage cell surface, and activation of infected cells by extracellular ATP has been shown to kill intracellular bacte
The Genetics and Health Team's priorities lie in understanding the biological mechanisms behind development of a range of rare and complex diseases, to help improve diagnosis, treatment and prevention both in Australian populations and internationally.
