Lovely work lead by @aguillensamander.bsky.social with new insights into lipid transport in malaria.

Proud to share our work in collaboration with @labvanni.bsky.social on how malaria parasites solved a membrane cell biology challenge in the RBC using a new class of eukaryotic lipid transporters. Nice data for molecular parasitology and/or general lipid transfer enthusiasts!

In an effort to understand how malaria parasites survive the antimalarial artemisinin, we uncovered a role for stochastic cell to cell variation in Kelch13 abundance. Excited that this work is now out there (at least in preprint form!)

One for the Apicomplexa peeps: ever wonder how does the IMC grow so fast during progeny formation? Where do all the lipids come from? In our latest work on malaria RBC stages we implicate this monster protein (~6000 residues!) and ER contact sites. Happy+proud to share and keen to hear thoughts!
