HOT OF THE PRESS!!
Congratulations to Gabi @gabrielepradel.bsky.social (spp2225 speaker and consortium member) and Freddy @freddyfrischknecht.bsky.social (consortium member) on their joint publication!!
EXIT-Strategien intrazellulärer Parasiten im Visier hochauflösender Bildgebung - BIOspektrum
Living inside host cells provides significant advantages for human parasites like Plasmodium and Leishmania. Nevertheless, to complete their life cycle, they must eventually exit the host cell – a critical step that represents an attractive target for drug development. However, achieving the necessary combination of high spatial and temporal resolution imaging to capture egress dynamics remains a challenge and software pipelines for data analysis need to be advanced. Addressing these challenges will be key to unlocking the exit strategies of parasites.

But #malaria is still a threat in 2023: 263 million cases, 597,000 deaths, 95% of deaths occur in Africa. It is time to step up!
