Spatiotemporal visualization of subcellular dynamics of carbon nanotubes [PDF]
To date, there is no consensus on the relationship between the physicochemical characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their biological behavior; however, there is growing evidence that the versatile characteristics make their biological fate ...

Acetate and hypertonic stress stimulate vacuole membrane fission using distinct mechanisms.
Vacuoles in plants and fungi play critical roles in cell metabolism and osmoregulation. To support these functions, vacuoles change their morphology, e.g.

Legionella RavZ Plays a Role in Preventing Ubiquitin Recruitment to Bacteria-Containing Vacuoles
Bacterial pathogens like Salmonella and Legionella establish intracellular niches in host cells known as bacteria-containing vacuoles. In these vacuoles, bacteria can survive and replicate.

NRT1.1 Regulates Nitrate Allocation and Cadmium Tolerance in Arabidopsis
Abiotic stress induces nitrate (NO3-) allocation to roots, which increases stress tolerance in plants. NRT1.1 is broadly involved in abiotic stress tolerance in plants, but the relationship between NRT1.1 and NO3- allocation under stress conditions is ...

The Lack of SNARE Protein Homolog Syn8 Influences Biofilm Formation of Candida glabrata
Biofilm formation of Candida species is considered to be a pathogenic factor of host infection. Since biofilm formation of Candida glabrata has not been as well studied as that of Candida albicans, we performed genetic screening of C. glabrata, and three

Sterol transporters at membrane contact sites regulate TORC1 and TORC2 signaling. [PDF]
Membrane contact sites (MCSs) function to facilitate the formation of membrane domains composed of specialized lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. In cells, membrane domains regulate membrane dynamics and biochemical and signaling pathways.
