Discovery of an Atypical Arp2/3 Complex in Malaria Parasites Sheds New Light on Nuclear Actin
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Arp2/3 complex is a key actin nucleator essential for cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotes. Previously believed absent in apicomplexan parasites, we recently identified an atypical Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites consisting of five divergent subunits and a putative kinetochore‐associated factor.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 5, Page 591-611, March 2026.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...
