    Pink1-mediated mitophagy in the endothelium releases proteins encoded by mitochondrial DNA and activates neutrophil responses during inflammation

    Priyanka Gajwani, Li Wang ... Jalees Rehman
    Inflammatory activation of endothelial cells triggers Pink1-dependent mitophagy and mitochondrial formyl peptides release, which drives neutrophil recruitment and lung injury.

    The titin N2A-MARP signalosome constrains muscle longitudinal hypertrophy in response to stretch

    Robbert van der Pijl, Jochen Gohlke ... Coen Ottenheijm
    Titin-associated muscle ankyrin repeat proteins limit stretch-induced longitudinal muscle hypertrophy and link titin mechanosensing to mTOR signaling.

    Stable excitatory-inhibitory synapse balance despite dynamic turnover

    Krassimira A Garbett, James P Allen ... Richard C Sando
    Long-term live imaging and tracking approaches reveal a coordination between excitatory and inhibitory synapse assembly, despite continual spatiotemporal dynamics.

    CROP2, a Retriever–PROPPIN complex mediating protein export from endosomes to the plasma membrane in human cells

    Maria Giovanna De Leo, Andreas Mayer
    Endosomes operate several exit routes that sort protein cargo and depend on pathway-specific associations of a PROPPIN with the responsible protein coat, such as the here identified CROP2, to support the departure of the cargo carriers.
