    The multifaceted role of EXOC6A in ciliogenesis

    Te-Lin Lin, Chien-Ting Wu, Tang K Tang
    EXOC6A cooperates with myosin-Va to regulate vesicle trafficking and membrane remodeling during ciliogenesis, enabling ciliary vesicle maturation, transition zone assembly, and proper delivery of ciliary membrane proteins.

    Cell surface localisation of GPI-anchored receptors in Trypanosoma brucei

    Sourav Banerjee, Nicola Minshall ... Mark Carrington
    The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored receptors in Trypanosoma brucei are not confined to the flagellar pocket but instead localise across the whole cell surface, reshaping our understanding of host immune evasion and nutrient uptake.
