    SSNA1 stabilizes dynamic microtubules and detects microtubule damage

    Elizabeth J Lawrence, Goker Arpag ... Marija Zanic
    SSNA1 is a potent microtubule stabilizer and novel sensor of microtubule damage, acting on both microtubule ends and lattices to regulate microtubule dynamics and protect microtubules against severing activity.

    Synergistic phase separation of two pathways promotes integrin clustering and nascent adhesion formation

    Lindsay B Case, Milagros De Pasquale ... Michael K Rosen
    Biochemical and cell biological data suggest a model of nascent integrin adhesion complex formation based on synergistic phase separation of pathways surrounding the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and the adaptor protein p130Cas.

    Female fertility and the zona pellucida

    Paul M Wassarman, Eveline S Litscher
    The ZP is a viscoelastic ECM that provides stability for contacts between projections from the innermost cumulus cells and oocyte microvilli that pass through the ZP and form gap junctions shown to be essential for oocyte growth and follicle development.

    Chlamydomonas ARMC2/PF27 is an obligate cargo adapter for intraflagellar transport of radial spokes

    Karl F Lechtreck, Yi Liu ... Pinfen Yang
    The cargo adapter ARMC2 mediates the association of radial spoke complexes to IFT trains ensuring radial spoke import and assembly in Chlamydomonas flagella.

    SNX9-induced membrane tubulation regulates CD28 cluster stability and signalling

    Manuela Ecker, Richard Schregle ... Jeremie Rossy
    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.
