Toxoplasma gondii divides by endodyogeny — a process in which two daughters form inside a mother cell, eventually consuming the mother cell. In special cases, as captured in this image, a single cell spawns a multitude of daughters. Credit: Dominic Schwarz. #WhiteheadWonders

A conserved complex of microneme proteins mediates rhoptry discharge in #Toxoplasma:
@LouridoLab @WhiteheadInst @MITBiology show that three #apicomplexan-specific #microneme proteins form a complex essential for #rhoptry discharge and invasion

The May Day Picket is off!!! Hundreds upon hundreds of grad student workers will turn out today bc we will not accept the status quo! We need things like a fair stipend, dental/vision coverage, real recourse, T-passes, and Union Shop!!!

Stay tuned for tweets throughout the day!

@FrischknechtLab reunion in #Boston post #MPM2022 with @_emma_pietsch_ and @schwarzminic

[Sebastian Lourido @LouridoLab]

10-30% of people carry chronic #Toxoplasma and we’ve been interested in how parasites enter this state. New work from @mhlicon in our lab uncovers a positive feedback loop that enforces the developmental transition to the chronic state! https://t.co/r0XbC7tbBg

“Let’s make science, not war”: Russian scientists & science journalists have published an open letter condemning the war with #Ukraine, calling it 'unfair' and 'senseless' (currently over 4,000 signatories). Russian: https://t.co/GMkztfjC04 English: https://t.co/0k8tqcE6sW

More than 100,000 people attended a peace rally and demonstration in Berlin on Sunday in support of Ukraine. Organizers, which included peace and environmental groups, unions and churches, had expected 20,000 to gather. https://t.co/FrODEswSjZ

[Diego Huet @HuetLab]

Please RT📢! Come join our young and growing team (https://t.co/b5cVC9NMFU) located in the @CTEGD. We are looking for a postdoc to work on the unique organellar biology of Toxoplasma gondii! 🔬🥼🧫🦠

High-throughput functionalization of the Toxoplasma kinome uncovers a novel regulator of invasion and egress https://t.co/9OyQCNvSdu #bioRxiv

[Sebastian Lourido @LouridoLab]

Please RT. We are looking for a new lab tech! Ideally, a highly motivated individual seeking to gain research experience for 1-2 years before heading to graduate school. Great opportunity to learn about infectious diseases in a supportive environment. https://t.co/P3IjpPtMqk

@BenManOfWald It was a pleasure working with you!
P.S. Great job in https://t.co/KXDNVeYgUV @WhiteheadInst

[Dominic Schwarz @schwarzminic]

Its finally out! @CellCellPress

[Ben Waldman @BenManOfWald]

I'm excited to share our paper on the regulation of chronic #Toxoplasma infection! Many thanks to all the members of the @LouridoLab and to our collaborators in the @shaleklab for their help applying single-cell RNA-sequencing to this fascinating parasite.
