@veupathdb What wonderful news! 🤩

[Vanessa Severo @vrsevero]

I miss ToxoDB already 😢
@veupathdb

[Bill Sullivan @wjsullivan]

Excited to present the latest preprint from the lab, showing that Toxoplasma gondii parasites use cap-independent translation to convert into its latent cyst form! Here’s why this is cool... (1/n)

[The Olympic Games @Olympics]

This is everything.

It is confirmed! Next Toxo Meeting will be in Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[Bill Sullivan @wjsullivan]

Our latest study, led by Mike Holmes, in mBio today: "mRNA cap-binding protein eIF4E1 is a novel regulator of Toxoplasma gondii latency"

We found an unexpected role for eIF4E1 that further links control of protein synthesis to microbial latency
