This study identifies LARP1 as a key regulator of metabolism and mTORC1 activity in cancer, showing its role in sustaining cellular metabolism and driving cancer progression.

This study uses electron tomography to reveal the 3D structure of the apical complex in Eimeria tenella, showing organized trafficking and secretion mechanisms.

The paper identifies key kinesins involved in the malaria parasite life cycle in mammalian and mosquito hosts, showing kinesin-13 is essential for growth in mammals while others are critical for mosquito transmission.

The paper investigates the role of Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) in atypical mitotic and meiotic divisions during Plasmodium sexual stages, suggesting PP1 inhibitors could block parasite transmission.

The paper uses spatial proteomics and microscopy to show the conoid is conserved across apicomplexans, including Plasmodium, with structural differences between blood and vector stages.

The paper studies the dynamics of the NDC80 complex in Plasmodium berghei to reveal unique chromosome segregation mechanisms during parasite proliferation.

This study identifies PbKIN8B as essential for axoneme assembly in Plasmodium berghei male gametes, disrupting mosquito transmission when knocked out.

This study identifies kinesin-8B's role in malaria parasite flagellum formation and transmission by analyzing its localization and function during gamete development.

This study identifies Plasmodium Kinesin-8X as essential for endomitotic division during oocyst development and parasite transmission.

This study identifies TgFER2, a Ca2+ sensor essential for rhoptry secretion in Toxoplasma gondii, which is required for host cell invasion.
