Our new preprint describes Plasmodium NEK4 as a key regulator coupling meiotic initiation and morphogenesis—a critical step for malaria transmission. This involves MTOC-driven nuclear movement strikingly analogous to "horsetail" movement in fission yeast.

Pleased to share our new preprint: "Plasmodium ARK1 regulates spindle formation during atypical mitosis and forms a divergent chromosomal passenger complex". Many thanks to our collaborators.

Excited to share our publication @lsajournal.org showing that divergent Plasmodium kinases drive MTOC, kinetochore and axoneme organisation during male gamete formation. Many thanks, @ritatewari.bsky.social, @davidguttery.bsky.social, @zeeshanm.bsky.social, Tony and David F.
