Morphogenesis in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes proceeds via a highly asymmetric cell division

This paper studies T. cruzi epimastigote cell division, finding it highly asymmetric with one daughter cell significantly smaller than the other.

Endocytosis in Trypanosoma cruzi Depends on Proper Recruitment and Regulation of Functionally Redundant Myosin Motors

This study identifies MyoF and MyoC as functionally redundant myosin motors essential for endocytosis in T. cruzi, with MyAP playing dual roles in myosin targeting and regulation.

A Trypanosoma brucei orphan kinesin employs a convergent microtubule organization strategy to complete cytokinesis

This study investigates the role of the T. brucei orphan kinesin KLIF in cytokinesis by analyzing its microtubule crosslinking properties and their impact on cell division.

Revealing spatio-temporal dynamics with long-term trypanosomatid live-cell imaging

This paper develops a live-cell imaging method for Trypanosoma brucei to study cell division and other dynamic processes over 24 hours.

The Trypanosoma brucei subpellicular microtubule array is organized into functionally discrete subdomains defined by microtubule associated proteins

This study identifies subdomains within the Trypanosoma brucei subpellicular microtubule array, defined by specific microtubule-associated proteins, and characterizes their roles in stabilizing microtubules and shaping the cell.
