This study identifies SNX13 and SNX14 as proteins that maintain lysosome membrane integrity and prevent neurodegeneration by supporting lipid homeostasis and repair mechanisms.

The paper quantifies ER-to-mitochondria lipid transport in yeast, showing rapid exchange and limited substrate selectivity.

This study identifies BLTP2 as a pro-survival protein that regulates phosphatidylethanolamine levels in the plasma membrane to maintain its fluidity and function, linking it to cancer aggressiveness.

This study identifies Pln1 as a mediator of lipid droplet-vacuole tethering during microlipophagy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, revealing its role in LD degradation and survival under starvation.

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