Very excited to share our latest study using cryo-ET to investigate actin filaments in #Apicomplexan parasites. This allowed us to learn where do these filaments originate at the cell tip and how they could be managed down the cell body to power motility!

Toxoplasma gondii causes lifelong, occasionally severe infections in humans.
In this news story Live Science , I discuss a newly discovered Achilles’ heel in the parasite that may bring scientists closer to developing a cure.
