Abstract

In article 2004101, Marco Giacometti, Riccardo Bertacco and co‐workers reported on a diagnostic tool (TMek) based on paramagnetic properties of hemozoin nanocrystals in infected red blood cells (i‐RBCs). Exploiting the competition between gravity and magnetic forces, i‐RBCs in a whole blood specimen are sorted and electrically detected in a microchip. The findings indicate the potential of TMek as a quantitative, stage‐selective, rapid test for malaria. Cover designed by Tommaso Pravettoni and Jonathan Barsotti. [Image: see text]
