Kinesin-3 and kinesin-1 motors direct basement membrane protein secretion to a basal sub-region of the basolateral plasma membrane in epithelial cells

The paper identifies kinesin-3 and kinesin-1 as essential for basement membrane protein secretion, showing they transport vesicles basally to maintain proper BM formation and tissue architecture.

ESCargo: a regulatable fluorescent secretory cargo for diverse model organisms

ESCargo is a regulatable fluorescent secretory protein that can be used across multiple model organisms to study membrane traffic by generating synchronized cargo waves.
