HOT OF THE PRESS!!
Congratulations to Gabi @gabrielepradel.bsky.social (spp2225 speaker and consortium member) and Freddy @freddyfrischknecht.bsky.social (consortium member) on their joint publication!!

EXIT-Strategien intrazellulärer Parasiten im Visier hochauflösender Bildgebung - BIOspektrum

Living inside host cells provides significant advantages for human parasites like Plasmodium and Leishmania. Nevertheless, to complete their life cycle, they must eventually exit the host cell – a critical step that represents an attractive target for drug development. However, achieving the necessary combination of high spatial and temporal resolution imaging to capture egress dynamics remains a challenge and software pipelines for data analysis need to be advanced. Addressing these challenges will be key to unlocking the exit strategies of parasites.

Last week was all about flow cytometry. During a method workshop at Paul-Ehrlich-Institute PEI) in Langen, participants learned a great deal. Special thanks to Ger van Zandbergen and Bang Tam Tran (Jenny) from the PEI, who made it all possible.
