This study identifies DCX as essential for microtubule branching in Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes, which is required for mosquito transmission, independent of its role in the conoid.

This study identifies ARK1 as a key regulator of chromosome segregation in Plasmodium berghei, showing stage-specific rewiring of the Chromosomal Passenger Complex during mitosis and meiosis.

The paper reports cryo-EM structures of PfNCR1 bound to four inhibitors, revealing distinct binding modes that inform drug discovery targeting this malaria parasite transporter.

This study identifies NEK1's role in organizing the MTOC and ensuring kinetochore attachment during rapid mitosis in Plasmodium male gamete formation.

This study identifies a CRL4-related ubiquitin ligase in Plasmodium that is critical for microgametocyte formation by regulating proteostasis of ciliary and DNA replication proteins.

The paper identifies EMAP3 as a new parasite protein exposed on the surface of P. berghei infected red blood cells, which interacts with EMAP1 but is not the main CD36-binding protein.

This study uses expansion microscopy to reveal the cytoskeleton organization in malaria parasites, showing the conservation of a conoid structure previously thought to be absent.
