This study investigates DNA repair dynamics in Plasmodium falciparum, revealing distinct roles for TLS polymerases and PfRad51 in maintaining chromosomal structure and genome diversification.

This study identifies the molecular mechanism by which var2csa functions as a switching hub to coordinate var gene expression in Plasmodium falciparum, enabling antigenic variation and chronic infection.

This study reveals that Plasmodium falciparum parasites can express multiple var genes or suppress var gene expression, enabling them to evade host immunity and persist in chronic infections.
