Polymerization of Tetraspanin 7 into Helical Transmembrane Skeletons for Tubular Membrane Stabilization

The paper identifies TSPAN7's role in forming helical transmembrane structures that stabilize tubular membrane protrusions by sensing curvature and resisting mechanical stress.

Migrasome formation is initiated preferentially in tubular junctions by alternations of membrane tension or intracellular pressure

The paper investigates how migrasomes form preferentially in tubular junctions by altering membrane tension or intracellular pressure, using experimental and theoretical approaches.

Tetraspanin 4 mediates migrasome formation via a two-stage mechanism

This study investigates how tetraspanin 4 mediates migrasome formation through a two-stage mechanism involving membrane tension and cholesterol.

Transmembrane proteins tetraspanin 4 and CD9 sense membrane curvature

This study shows that tetraspanin4 and CD9 sense positive membrane curvature, revealing their role in membrane shaping processes like migrasome formation and oocyte microvilli shaping.
