Gliding motility of the diatom Craspedostauros australis correlates with the intracellular movement of raphid-specific myosins

This study identifies and characterizes raphid diatom-specific myosins in Craspedostauros australis, showing that only CaMyoB-D moves during gliding, suggesting a role in force generation.

Nanoscopy of organelles and tissues with iterative ultrastructure expansion microscopy (iU-ExM)

This paper introduces iU-ExM, an iterative expansion microscopy technique that achieves single-molecule light microscopy resolution for organelles and tissues.

Conoid extrusion serves as gatekeeper for entry of glideosome components into the pellicular space to control motility and invasion in Apicomplexa

The paper identifies new components of the conoid in Apicomplexa and shows it regulates glideosome assembly and motility by controlling F-actin flux.

Bat teeth illuminate the diversification of mammalian tooth classes

The paper studies how tooth classes in bats evolved and diversified by analyzing developmental mechanisms and growth rate modulation.

Revisiting the role of Toxoplasma gondii ERK7 in the maintenance and stability of the apical complex

This paper shows that Toxoplasma gondii ERK7 depletion mimics AC9/AC10 depletion, causing apical complex disorganization and impairing parasite motility and invasion.
