    A small-molecule ICMT inhibitor delays senescence of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome cells

    Xue Chen, Haidong Yao ... Martin O Bergo
    Knockout of the methyltransferase ICMT prevents progerin methylation and improves survival in mice with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and an ICMT inhibitor delays senescence and stimulates proliferation of HGPS cells.

    Ral GTPases promote breast cancer metastasis by controlling biogenesis and organ targeting of exosomes

    Shima Ghoroghi, Benjamin Mary ... Vincent Hyenne
    A combination of animal models reveal how the molecular mechanisms of exosome secretion (RalA/B-dependent) are linked to their cargo content and their function in breast cancer pre-metastatic niche formation.

    ARL3 activation requires the co-GEF BART and effector-mediated turnover

    Yasmin ElMaghloob, Begoña Sot ... Shehab Ismail
    BART is a co-GEF for ARL3 and maintains the active ARL3-GTP until it is recycled by ARL3 effectors.
