Stochastic bond dynamics facilitates alignment of malaria parasite at erythrocyte membrane upon invasion
Malaria parasites invade healthy red blood cells (RBCs) during the blood stage of the disease. Even though parasites initially adhere to RBCs with a random orientation, they need to align their apex toward the membrane in order to start the invasion process. Using hydrodynamic simulations of a RBC a...
