Membrane trafficking specificity between distinct compartments ensures that cargo proteins and lipids are delivered to their target organelle. However, accurate recognition of cargo carriers by tethering factors on target membranes is poorly understood. TBC1D23 is now identified as an adaptor that links endosome-derived vesicles with golgins at the trans-Golgi.

Aging rhesus macaques provide a unique model for learning how age and inflammation drive early-stage pathology in sporadic Alzheimer's disease, and for testing potential therapeutics. Unlike mice, aging macaques have extensive association cortices and inflammatory signaling similar to humans, are apolipoprotein E ε4 homozygotes, and naturally develop tau and amyloid pathology with marked cognitive deficits. Importantly, monkeys provide the unique opportunity to study early-stage, soluble hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau), including p-tau217.

ATG9A facilitates the closure of mammalian autophagosomes.

Canonical autophagy captures within specialized double-membrane organelles, termed autophagosomes, an array of cytoplasmic components destined for lysosomal degradation. An autophagosome is completed when the growing phagophore undergoes ESCRT-dependent membrane closure, a prerequisite for its subsequent fusion with endolysosomal organelles and degradation of the sequestered cargo. ATG9A, a key integral membrane protein of the autophagy pathway, is best known for its role in the formation and expansion of phagophores.

The gastrointestinal tract is a prominent portal of entry for HIV-1 during sexual or perinatal transmission, as well as a major site of HIV-1 persistence and replication. Elucidation of underlying mechanisms of intestinal HIV-1 infection are thus needed for the advancement of HIV-1 curative therapies. Here, we present a human 2D intestinal immuno-organoid system to model HIV-1 disease that recapitulates tissue compartmentalization and epithelial-immune cellular interactions.

Endocytosis is an essential cellular process that uptakes substances into cells at the plasma membrane from the extracellular space and plays a major role in plant development and responses to environmental stimuli. Research has shown that plant membrane-resident proteins are endocytosed and transported into plant endosomes in response to pathogen-secreted elicitors. However, there is no conclusive experimental evidence demonstrating how secreted cytoplasmic effectors from oomycetes and fungi enter host cells during infection.

Dysregulated pH is now recognised as a hallmark of cancer. Recent evidence has revealed that the endosomal pH regulator Na/H exchanger NHE9 is upregulated in colorectal cancer to impose a pseudo-starvation state associated with invasion, highlighting an underexplored mechanistic link between adaptive endosomal reprogramming and malignant transformation. In this study, we use a model that quantitatively captures the dynamics of the core regulatory network governing epithelial mesenchymal plasticity.
