Cell cycle-dependent transitions in PCP protein mobility erase and restore planar cell polarity in mitosis

D. Ouyang, Lena P. Basta, P. Sil, B.W. Joyce, Eszter Pósfai, Danelle Devenport

The paper shows PCP proteins transition between mobile and stable states during mitosis, losing and restoring planar cell polarity through lateral diffusion and adhesive interactions.

A Window into Mammalian Basement Membrane Development: Insights from the mTurq2-Col4a1 Mouse Model

R. A. Jones, B. Trejo, P. Sil, K. A. Little, H. A. Pasolli, B. Joyce, E. Posfai, D. Devenport

The paper introduces a mouse model with fluorescently labeled collagen IV to study basement membrane dynamics during skin development and finds that BMs deform rather than lose adhesion during cell division.

Active emulsions in living cell membranes driven by contractile stresses and transbilayer coupling

S. Saha, A. Das, C. Patra, A. A. Anilkumar, P. Sil, S. Mayor, M. Rao

The paper investigates how active contractile stresses and transbilayer coupling drive the formation of mesoscopic domains in cell membranes containing GPI-APs and lipids.

Non-canonical autophagy in dendritic cells restricts cross-presentation and anti-tumor immunity

P. Sil, G. W. Muse, S.-W. Wong, J. P. Kolb, L. M. DeGraff, C. J. Tucker, E. Scappini, A. G. Snyder, S. Grimm, A. Oberst, J. Martinez

This study shows that Rubicon deficiency in dendritic cells enhances cross-presentation and anti-tumor immunity by increasing phagosome-to-cytosol escape and antigen degradation.

Dynamic actin-mediated nano-scale clustering of CD44 regulates its meso-scale organization at the plasma membrane

P. Sil, N. Mateos, S. Nath, S. Buschow, C. Manzo, K. G. N. Suzuki, T. Fujiwara, A. Kusumi, M. F. Garcia-Parajo, S. Mayor

This study reveals that CD44 forms a meso-scale meshwork at the plasma membrane, regulated by actin dynamics and nano-scale clustering.

Heme minimizes Parkinson’s disease-associated toxicity by inducing a conformational distortion in the oligomers of alpha-Synuclein

R. Chakraborty, S. Dey, S. S. Paul, P. Sil, J. Sengupta, K. Chattopadhyay

This study shows heme reduces alpha-Synuclein toxicity by altering its oligomer structure, preventing harmful fibril formation.
