DCX enables branching of subpellicular microtubules in Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes and is required for mosquito colonisation

Emma Ganga, Rosie Bridgwater, Amke Hackmann…·Mathieu Brochet

This study identifies DCX as essential for microtubule branching in Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes, which is required for mosquito transmission, independent of its role in the conoid.

Targeting Aurora kinases as essential cell cycle regulators to deliver multi-stage antimalarials against Plasmodium falciparum

Henrico Langeveld, Keletso Maepa, Marché Maree…·Lyn‐Marié Birkholtz

The paper identifies PfArk1 as a key target for antimalarial drugs by showing that inhibiting it disrupts parasite mitosis and nuclear division.
