Molecular dissection of host cell invasion by the Apicomplexans: the glideosome
Gliding motility is an essential and fascinating apicomplexantypical adaptation to an intracellular lifestyle. Apicomplexan parasites rely on gliding motility for their migration across biological barriers and for host cell invasion and egress. This unusual substrate-dependent mode of locomotion inv...
