The retromer complex serves as a bomb squad to retrieve and disarm the potentially harmful pool of Notch receptors in a timely manner and thereby safeguards against brain tumor formation.
Rab5 and Rab11 regulate hematopoietic homeostasis in Drosophila, and this process involves the JNK, Toll, and Ras/EGFR signaling pathways and autophagy.
The small GTPase Arf6 plays a role in setting the size of the readily releasable pool of synaptic vesicles and in the definition of the recycling route for endocytosed vesicles.
Sorting nexin 9, a membrane curvature inducing protein, creates a distinct environment within clusters of the co-receptor CD28 and thereby allows T cell activation to proceed to a successful outcome.

Rab11a-mediated endosomal trafficking in macrophages regulates potassium channel localization and activity at the cell surface and the downstream activation of the inflammasome and is a potential therapeutic target in acute or chronic inflammatory states.

pYtags are novel biosensors that can be used to measure the activity of a receptor tyrosine kinase of interest in live cells with high spatiotemporal resolution and are applied to reveal rapid activity dynamics of EGFR/ErbB2 signaling.
Multivesicular bodies deliver long-range retrograde nerve growth factor (NGF) signals and serve as essential signaling and sorting platforms in the cell soma, and multivesicular body (MVB) cargoes dictate their vesicular fate.
