This Full Circle minireview illustrates how a decade-long journey\u2014from early electron microscopy observations of nuclear pore dynamics\u2014has evolved into a broader investigation of NE composition, architecture, and regulation across the parasite life cycle. Advances in imaging, including ultrastructure expansion microscopy and cryo-electron tomography, revealed key features such as the bipartite microtubule organizing center, nuclear pore complex rosettes, and specialized NE scaffolds. Structure-guided and proteomic approaches identified divergent SUN-domain proteins,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Pf<\/jats:italic>\n                      SUN1 and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Pf<\/jats:italic>\n                      SUN2, as essential for NE integrity, genome stability, and chromatin positioning during schizogony.
