The perception of endogenous RALF signaling peptides modulates the plasma membrane nanoscale organization of receptor kinases to regulate plant immune signaling.
Studying the earliest events in B cell activation reveals that the B cell antigen receptor is opened and activated via the phosphorylation and binding by the spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk).
Neuroligin 1 is a critical adhesion molecule which organizes AMPA receptor nanodomains in close vicinity to pre-synaptic release sites, and whose genetic or chemical disruption severely impairs synaptic transmission properties.

Advanced imaging methods reveal that Siglec-1 spatial distribution on mature dendritic cells is regulated by components of the actin polymerization machinery impacting on its engagement to HIV-particles and virus sequestration toward virus-containing compartments.

In vivo analysis of endogenously tagged Ca2+ channel subunits reveals unexpected differences in subunit composition and synapse-specific relationships between channel abundance and synaptic strength.
The local PI(4,5)P2 nanodomain promotes the dimerization and activation of EGFR in the plasma membrane, whereas activated EGFR dissolves the nanodomain structure of PI(4,5)P2 through PLCγ.

Super-resolution imaging reveals that the microtubule-associated protein Tau regulates the Fyn kinase organisation in dendrites, and that the frontotemporal dementia mutant Tau promotes aberrant Fyn clustering, potentially leading to synaptic dysfunction.

The use of nanopatterned hydrogels and specific integrin α5β1 peptidomimetic revealed that keratinocytes require an optimum inter-ligand spacing to best propagate intercellular forces and efficiently coordinate cell sheet migration.
Single-molecule localization imaging shows that the Nipah virus fusion protein forms nanoscale clusters on cell and viral membranes that favor membrane fusion activation.

Quantitative super-resolution correlative light and electron microscopy reveals a constant glycine receptor density at native spinal cord synapses that is maintained in the oscillator mouse model of human hyperekplexia.
