This study uses combinatorial genetics to assess redundancy in Plasmodium falciparum invasion ligands, finding that certain gene pairs significantly impact parasite invasion.

This study develops a microfluidic platform to quantify malaria parasite invasion under physiological flow conditions and shows that flow significantly affects invasion, particularly in parasites lacking the PfEBA175 gene.

This study shows antibiotics increase growth rate heterogeneity in bacteria, with some reducing it, and links morphological changes to growth inhibition, introducing a new AST method.

The paper uses optical tweezers to measure merozoite-erythrocyte attachment forces and identifies PfEBA and PfRH ligands as critical for attachment, not PfMSP1.
