Rather than dividing into two daughter cells like human cells, they first amplify their genetic material tenfold, hundredfold, or even thousandfold before simultaneously producing a corresponding number of daughter parasites. In the absence of this tether, the formation of daughter parasites within blood cells was severely impaired. “Without this connecting structure, the entire process of daughter parasite formation collapses,” explains Professor Frischknecht. A Limiting Protein Resource Coordinates Nuclear MultiplicationIn the second project, recently published in Nature Communications, the researchers investigated how parasite nuclei are generated.
