The paper shows extracellular mechanical forces influence Golgi secretory function by modulating carrier biogenesis and exocytosis, with molecular determinants including microtubule acetylation and protein kinase D activity.

The paper identifies a PKD-caveolin mechanism for TGN carrier biogenesis, linking lipid transfer and cargo sorting to membrane remodeling.

The paper shows the ER stabilizes plasmodesmata during incomplete cytokinesis in plants by preventing fenestrae fusion and forming communication bridges between daughter cells.

This paper discovers that Flipper, a membrane tension probe, can photosensitize singlet oxygen to alter membrane tension and lipid phase separation, enabling optical control of lipid raft formation.

The paper uses super-resolution microscopy to show that integrin nanoclusters are spatially segregated within focal adhesions, suggesting coordinated activation through adaptor nanoclusters.
