The human parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, is paralyzed without two components of the apical polar ring

This study identifies APR9 and KinesinA as essential components of the apical polar ring in Toxoplasma gondii, showing that their combined loss paralyzes the parasite and impairs key life cycle processes.

The initiation and early development of apical-basal polarity in Toxoplasma gondii

This study investigates the initiation and early development of apical-basal polarity in Toxoplasma gondii using expansion microscopy, revealing the synchronized development of apical and basal structures and the synergistic role of APR2 and KinesinA.

An icosahedral virus as a fluorescent calibration standard: methods for counting protein molecules in cells by fluorescence microscopy

This paper describes fluorescent virus particles engineered to count protein molecules in cells using fluorescence microscopy by providing a known standard for fluorescence-to-molecule conversion.
