EXIT-Strategien intrazellulärer Parasiten im Visier hochauflösender Bildgebung
摘要
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.
