Top left shows the unicellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Bottom left depicts the architecture of the “tripartite attachment complex (TAC)” that in trypanosomes connects the mitochondrial genome with the flagellum. To do so it must penetrate the two mitochondrial membranes. The right side illustrates how the TAC functions during cell division. I was inspired for this work by the famous anatomical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci, the archetypical science artist. The text should mimic the mirror hand writing da Vinci used in his anatomical and technical drawings. The picture is based on a pencil drawing by André Schneider. See Schimanski et al.
