#Malaria parasites infecting a #RedBloodCell can either replicate asexually or produce a transmissible gametocyte, a plastic decision driven by environmental cues. This study uses math models to explore which cue(s) #parasites should sense to maximize fitness @PLOSBiology plos.io/4q5a8aU

Schematic of P. chabaudi within-host infection dynamics and fitness optimization. Left: Flow diagram of model tracking the dynamics of red blood cells (R; RBCs), RBCs infected with asexual parasites (I), RBCs infected with sexual— but not yet mature — parasites ( ), asexually-committed merozoites (M), sexually-committed merozoites ( ), and gametocytes (G). Right: Temporal dynamics of cue perception. Cue perception occurs one day before the production of asexual/sexual merozoites, thereby introducing a delay between cue perception and the consequences of cue perception (i.e., production of more asexual infected RBCs or gametocytes). A further delay occurs in the sexual cycle since gametocytes of P. chabaudi take two days to mature. Dashed circles indicate the bursting/maturation of a particular cohort of iRBCs.

How does the #RedBloodCell band 3 #IonTransporter work? This study uses several #cryoEM structures of #band3 in different conformations to reveal that the ion transport mechanism involves the concerted movement of Cl- and HCO3- ions #PLOSBiology plos.io/4dRKAqZ

El glóbulo rojo con el bigote más pequeño del mundo, de 5 μm. Fue fabricado con un haz de iones focalizados en un microscopio electrónico de barrido (FIB-SEM) y se colocó con un micromanipulador. El eritrocito se cubrió con una capa metálica de 15 nm de grosor, supongo que para evitar que reventase, y colocado en un portaobjetos cubierto de oro. 📷 Dean Murray
