The paper develops a genetically-encoded fluorescence sensor to quantify macromolecular crowding at lipid membrane interfaces, finding that crowding effects depend on factors beyond molecular weight.

The paper uses live-cell nanoscopy to study cristae dynamics under various bioenergetic conditions and finds that cristae remodeling is independent of mitochondrial membrane potential but affected by ADP/ATP exchange.

The paper shows that MbxA from Moraxella bovis, secreted via an E. coli system, induces membrane blebbing and cell death in human cells.

This study identifies Galectin-9 as a critical interaction partner of mGBP2 required for immune control of Toxoplasma gondii.

The paper investigates the interaction between PLETHORA and WOX5 transcription factors and their role in regulating Arabidopsis root stem cell maintenance through subnuclear localization.

The paper evaluates viral 2A peptides in Ustilago maydis to enable polycistronic gene expression, showing activity ranging from 20 to 100% and demonstrating their use for regulated gene expression and biosynthesis.

The paper compares fluorescent protein pairs for FRET-based study of membrane protein interactions in plants, identifying optimal pairs based on spectral overlap, photostability, and FRET efficiency.

The paper uses live-cell imaging to show mitochondrial cristae undergo continuous fusion and fission, dependent on MIC13, with dynamics similar to crista junctions.
