A dual role of ERGIC-localized Rabs in TMED10-mediated unconventional protein secretion
Cargo translocation across membranes is a crucial aspect of secretion. In conventional secretion signal peptide-equipped proteins enter the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whereas a subset of cargo lacking signal ...

Next questions in autophagy
Our understanding of the basic mechanisms of autophagy is growing, but many questions remain about the types of autophagy cells use, when they use them, and how they function in different contexts. We asked em...

miR-361-3p mitigates hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte injury via targeting apoptosis initiators caspase-2/-8/-9
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an ischemic heart disease with high mortality. AMI-induced hypoxia will trigger serious myocardial injury, such as cardiomyocyte apoptosis. miRNAs have been reported to be ...

A new type of ERGIC–ERES membrane contact mediated by TMED9 and SEC12 is required for autophagosome biogenesis
Under stress, the endomembrane system undergoes reorganization to support autophagosome biogenesis, which is a central step in autophagy. How the endomembrane system remodels has been poorly understood. Here w...
