The sialylation pathway is uniquely partitioned in Drosophila between glia and neurons and mediates a novel mechanism of glia-neuron coupling that regulates neural functions, promotes tolerance to heat and oxidative stress, and maintains the normal level of voltage-gated sodium channels.
When pioneer metastatic cells enter a sentinel lymph node through afferent lymphatics subcapsular sinus, macrophages provide them soil to proliferate and colonize lymph node.
In transgenesis assays involving diploid model organisms, two clearly distinguishable transformation markers embedded in interweaved, but incompatible Lox site pairs allow the systematic creation of homozygous transgenic lines and minimize the number of wasted animals.

The bZIP transcription factor C/EBPδ enhances expression both of selectin ligands and the chemokine receptor CCR6 on human mucosal-associated invariant T cells, supporting their efficient extravasation into inflamed tissue.

Neuronal activity triggers the dispersal of the Golgi into dendritic Golgi satellites, leading to reshaping of the neuronal surface glycoproteome through processing of glycans to mature, sialic acid-containing forms.

Cholera intoxication of human colonic epithelial cells is dependent on recognition of protein glycosylation and fucosylation, not exclusively on ganglioside recognition as proposed previously.

Evidence that certain proteins can be transported between Golgi via structures that resemble COPI vesicles suggests that these vesicles could also be involved in the transport of proteins from the cis to the trans face of the Golgi.
