    Secretion of protein disulphide isomerase AGR2 confers tumorigenic properties

    Delphine Fessart, Charlotte Domblides ... Frederic Delom
    Epithelial tumors secrete the ER-resident AGR2 in the extracellular matrix to function as a novel essential microenvironmental regulator of epithelial tissue architecture, which leads to tumorigenicity.

    Golgi self-correction generates bioequivalent glycans to preserve cellular homeostasis

    Haik Mkhikian, Christie-Lynn Mortales ... Michael Demetriou
    Structurally dissimilar N-glycans can be functionally equivalent, and are produced via a self-correcting feature of the Golgi.

    MiniCORVET is a Vps8-containing early endosomal tether in Drosophila

    Péter Lőrincz, Zsolt Lakatos ... Gábor Juhász
    An unconventional endosomal tether in Drosophila melanogaster only has four of the six subunits found in the yeast complex.

    A mitofusin-dependent docking ring complex triggers mitochondrial fusion in vitro

    Tobias Brandt, Laetitia Cavellini ... Mickaël M Cohen
    A combination of an in vitro mitochondrial fusion assay with electron cryo-tomography (cryo-ET) reveals distinct steps and protein complexes during mitofusin-dependent fusion between adjacent mitochondrial outer membranes.

    In vivo super-resolution RESOLFT microscopy of Drosophila melanogaster

    Sebastian Schnorrenberg, Tim Grotjohann ... Stefan Jakobs
    Building on previous work (Grotjohann et al., 2012), low-light super-resolution microscopy has been performed on living transgenic Drosophila larvae and tissues.

    Dynamic curvature regulation accounts for the symmetric and asymmetric beats of Chlamydomonas flagella

    Pablo Sartori, Veikko F Geyer ... Jonathon Howard
    The self-organised beat of cilia and flagella is dynamically regulated by curvature.

    Pentagone internalises glypicans to fine-tune multiple signalling pathways

    Mark Norman, Robin Vuilleumier ... George Pyrowolakis
    Glypican proteins, required for morphogen signalling in Drosophila wing development, are endocytosed and degraded by the feedback regulator Pentagone.

    EphrinB2 drives perivascular invasion and proliferation of glioblastoma stem-like cells

    Benjamin Krusche, Cristina Ottone ... Simona Parrinello
    EphrinB2 promotes glioblastoma stem-like cell malignancy through the interplay of cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms and its targeting suppresses tumourigenesis in preclinical models of human glioblastoma.

    Functional CRISPR screening identifies the ufmylation pathway as a regulator of SQSTM1/p62

    Rowena DeJesus, Francesca Moretti ... Beat Nyfeler
    FACS-based pooled CRISPR screening is a powerful forward genetic tool to interrogate cellular pathways and targets that modulate protein fate.

    Atypical calcium regulation of the PKD2-L1 polycystin ion channel

    Paul G DeCaen, Xiaowen Liu ... David E Clapham
    Outward calcium ion currents desensitize the human PKD2-L1 ion channel via a mechanism that is independent of cytosolic motifs.
