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.

The paper uses cryo-electron tomography to visualize centrosomes in C. elegans embryos, revealing structural features and differences in microtubule organization during the cell cycle.

DeePiCt is a deep-learning framework for segmenting and localizing macromolecular complexes in cryo-electron tomograms, showing effectiveness in identifying low-abundance structures across species.
