The paper identifies PfTUPA, a novel lipid transfer protein in Plasmodium falciparum essential for lipid recycling from the digestive vacuole.

This study shows Plasmodium berghei liver stages mimic damaged endolysosomal membranes to hijack host ER contact sites for lipid uptake, enhancing parasite survival.

The paper identifies novel proteins in Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte egress vesicles using imaging and BioID, revealing distinct proteomes for osmiophilic bodies and g-exonemes.

This study characterizes ApiATs in Plasmodium falciparum, showing their localization to the parasite plasma membrane and partial redundancy in asexual proliferation but not gametocytogenesis.
