Have a look at the first complete Trypanosoma in vitro cell atlas: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…. T. cruzi is a weird parasite, the genome a mess, transmitted by the "kissing bug" although it poohs on your eyelid and we are still missing good drugs. Maybe our work can make a difference

Our latest research on #LRRK2 has just been published in Nature Immunology with @SpringerNature where we show important negative data that this kinase important in #IBD is not expressed and not needed for Paneth cell lysozyme regulation. @mrcppu Read here: rdcu.be/dWnwq
