    Oversized cells activate global proteasome-mediated protein degradation to maintain cell size homeostasis

    Shixuan Liu, Ceryl Tan ... Ran Kafri
    Oversized mammalian cells reduce their growth efficiency by activating global protein degradation, which functions in parallel with the cell size checkpoints, to promote cell size homeostasis.

    Artesunate, EDTA, and colistin work synergistically against MCR-negative and -positive colistin-resistant Salmonella

    Yajun Zhai, Peiyi Liu ... Gongzheng Hu
    The combination therapy of colistin, artesunate, and EDTA could serve as a promising approach to combat colistin-resistant Salmonella infections by disrupting bacterial membranes, collapsing proton motive force, and increasing reactive oxygen species levels.

    A ‘torn bag mechanism’ of small extracellular vesicle release via limiting membrane rupture of en bloc released amphisomes (amphiectosomes)

    Tamás Visnovitz, Dorina Lenzinger ... Edit I Buzas
    A novel 'torn bag mechanism' is described for the release of LC3 positive and negative small extracellular vesicles (exosomes) from amphiectosomes.
