Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #toxoplasma, aggregated by home.social.

  1. How do #apicomplexans reorganize their #PlasmaMembrane (PM) while replicating inside host cells? This study shows that #Toxoplasma recycles its PM via Rab5b- & MyoF-dependent #endocytosis, linking PM reservoir formation to membrane homeostasis via the micropore @PLOSBiology plos.io/46tDxny

  2. Apicomplexan #parasite division: @MGissot &co show that the #phosphatase TgPP1 in #Toxoplasma regulates the #CellCycle & amylopectin accumulation by dephosphorylating inner membrane complex & starch-binding domain proteins #PLOSBiology plos.io/3XwMYgj

  3. #Toxoplasma relies on specialized secretory organelles for invasion & host cell manipulation. @ToxInLA &co identifies the TBC domain protein TBC9 as an essential regulator of the #GTPase Rab2 that controls intracellular vesicular trafficking #PLOSBiology plos.io/3Upgkvu

  4. "Our investigation reveals that the fetal HSCs respond to T. gondii infection with virulence-dependent changes in proliferation, self-renewal potential, and lineage output. Furthermore, maternal IFNγ crosses the fetal–maternal interface, where it is perceived by fetal HSCs."

  5. "Here, we investigated the fetal hematopoietic response to maternal infection with Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), an intracellular parasite that elicits Type II IFNγ-mediated maternal immunity."

  6. Your daily reminder of who is really in charge around here... 😺💸

    "Students (n = 1495) who tested IgG positive for Toxoplasma Gondii exposure were 1.4× more likely to major in business and 1.7× more likely to have an emphasis in ‘management and entrepreneurship' over other business-related emphases."

  7. In Deutschland hat jede*r Zweite einen #Parasiten im Gehirn, der anfälliger für neuropsychiatrische Störungen macht und maßgeblich von #Katzen übertragen wird. Wer mag denn da noch mit seiner Katze schmusen?
