Cryogenic electron tomography reveals novel structures in the apical complex of Plasmodium falciparum
ABSTRACTIntracellular infectious agents, like the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, face the daunting challenge of how to invade a host cell. This problem may be even harder when the host cell in question is the enucleated red blood cell, which lacks the host machinery co-opted by many pathog...
