Abstract

Plasmodium undergoes a sophisticated invasion process to enter red blood cells (RBCs), a critical step in its life cycle. The invasion process is intricately regulated and involves a series of well-coordinated events. Membrane compartmentalization and dynamics play a central role in this process.
