Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy demonstrates fast dynamics of the variant surface glycoprotein coat on living trypanosomes

The paper uses single-molecule tracking to show that VSG coat dynamics on trypanosomes are primarily diffusive with a high diffusion coefficient, resolving how the parasite maintains its coat.

Genome maintenance functions of Trypanosoma brucei DNA Polymerase N include telomere association and a role in antigenic variation

This study identifies a dual role for DNA Polymerase N in Trypanosoma brucei, showing its involvement in telomere maintenance and antigenic variation, contributing to genome stability and immune evasion.
