Hand-in-hand advances in microscopy and Plasmodium nuclear biology

Benjamin Liffner et al. Trends Parasitol. 2022 Jun.

Abstract

For 140 years, microscopy has repeatedly revolutionized the study of nucleus biology, but despite this our understanding of the evolutionarily divergent nucleus biology of Plasmodium remains limited. Here, we discuss how microscopy advances have enabled two groundbreaking studies by Simon et al. and Klaus et al. into Plasmodium nucleus biology.

Keywords: DNA replication; Plasmodium; microscopy; microtubule organizing center (MTOC); mitosis.
