The liver is a major entry point and gatekeeper for invasive pathogens. However, high-resolution, spatiotemporal transcriptomic analysis of host-pathogen interactions has remained challenging. Afriat et al. have deconvoluted Plasmodium berghei liver-stage maturation at an unprecedented scale and discovered molecular signatures of heterogeneity during pre-erythrocytic development of malarial parasites.
