Septins in the Middle—Makers and Breakers of Membrane Contact Sites
Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.Septins are a family of GTP‐binding proteins that assemble into heteromeric oligomers and polymers, associating with specific membrane domains and organelles according to their subunit composition. Growing evidence places septins at membrane contact sites (MCS) — key hubs for intracellular communication that mediate exchange of ions, lipids, and ...

Role of Abl kinase and the Wave2 signaling complex in HIV-1 entry at a post-hemifusion step. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2010 Entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) commences with binding of the envelope glycoprotein (Env) to the receptor CD4, and one of two coreceptors, CXCR4 or CCR5.

Search for a link between protein fusion pore and hemifusion intermediates in SNARE driven membrane fusion [PDF]
, 2005 SNARE driven membrane fusion proceeds through an unknown process of events. It is still a mystery whether there is one chronological order of events for SNARE fusion or if there are multiple pathways. Two intermediates, hemifusion and protein fusion pore,

Real-time intermembrane force measurements and imaging of lipid domain morphology during hemifusion [PDF]
, 2015 Membrane fusion is the core process in membrane trafficking and is essential for cellular transport of proteins and other biomacromolecules. During protein-mediated membrane fusion, membrane proteins are often excluded from the membrane-membrane contact,

HIV‐1 viral protein effect on cerebral microvasculature: An in vitro blood–brain barrier model
Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 19, October 2025.Abstract The central nervous system (CNS) serves as a sanctuary for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which is facilitated by HIV's ability to breach the blood–brain barrier (BBB). BBB dysfunction occurs in the earliest stages of an HIV‐1 infection.
