Plasmodium Secretion Induces Hepatocyte Lysosome Exocytosis and Promotes Parasite Entry
IScience, 2019 Summary: The invasion of a suitable host hepatocyte by Plasmodium sporozoites is an essential step in malaria infection. We demonstrate that in infected hepatocytes, lysosomes are redistributed away from the nucleus, and surface exposure of lysosome ...

Highly transmissible cytoplasmic incompatibility by the extracellular insect symbiont Spiroplasma
iScience, 2022 Summary: Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is a form of reproductive manipulation caused by maternally inherited endosymbionts infecting arthropods, like Wolbachia, whereby matings between infected males and uninfected females produce few or no offspring.
