Quantitative analysis of P lasmodiumookinete motion in three dimensions suggests a critical role for cell shape in the biomechanics of malaria parasite gliding motility

26 Feb 2014

Abstract excerpt

Motility is a fundamental part of cellular life and survival, including for Plasmodium parasites--single-celled protozoan pathogens responsible for human malaria. The motile life cycle forms achieve motility, called gliding, via the activity of an internal actomyosin motor. Although gliding is based on the well-studied system of actin and myosin, its core biomechanics are not completely understood. Currently...
