Sabrina Absalon works in the field of cellular and molecular biology of Plasmodium falciparum , the most virulent parasite causing malaria in humans. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how the paper "3D nuclear architecture reveals coupled cell cycle dynamics of chromatin and nuclear pores in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum " by Allon Weiner et al. (A. Weiner, N. Dahan-Pasternak, E. Shimoni, V. Shinder, et al., Cell Microbiol 13:967-977, 2011, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-5822.2011.01592.x) triggered her aspiration to study the molecular mechanisms governing nuclear envelope assembly and integrity of P. falciparum throughout the intraerythrocytic development cycle.
