Architecture of Ca2+ tunneling, a basic Ca2+ signaling modality important for secretion

This study outlines the architecture of Ca2+ tunneling, a Ca2+ signaling modality, and shows it is important for Cl- secretion in sweat glands.

ER-Mitochondria Contact Sites expand during mitosis

The paper shows that ER-mitochondria contact sites expand during mitosis, enhancing Ca2+ coupling and mitochondrial activation to meet increased energy demands.

Cytonemes with complex geometries and composition extend into invaginations of target cells

The paper uses electron microscopy to reveal structural details of cytonemes in Drosophila, showing their variable diameters and contents, including ER, mitochondria, and ribosomes.

Gap junction internalization and processing in vivo: a 3D immuno-electron microscopy study

The paper studies connexosome formation and processing in ovarian follicles using 3D immuno-electron microscopy, showing fission, membrane separation, and organelle transfer between cells.

3D reconstruction of odontoblast processes of the mouse molar and incisor

This study uses serial section electron microscopy to examine the 3D structure of odontoblast processes in mouse molars and incisors, revealing distinct tubular and plate-like shapes with specific orientations and dimensions.

Analysis of the three dimensional structure of the kidney glomerulus capillary network

The paper uses a new 3D imaging approach to analyze the structure of the kidney glomerulus capillary network and identifies key structural features that influence filtration efficiency.

Cellular heterogeneity of the LH receptor and its significance for cyclic GMP signaling in mouse preovulatory follicles

This study investigates the cellular localization of LHR and NPR2 in mouse preovulatory follicles and suggests that LHR-expressing cells signal to neighboring cells to inactivate NPR2.

Extraocular, rod-like photoreceptors in a flatworm express xenopsin photopigment

The paper identifies xenopsin photopigment expression in extraocular, rod-like photoreceptors in flatworms and shows its function in phototransduction.

Three-dimensional organization of transzonal projections and other cytoplasmic extensions in mouse ovarian follicles

The paper examines the three-dimensional structure of transzonal projections and other cytoplasmic extensions in mouse ovarian follicles using serial section electron microscopy, revealing their branching, gap junction formation, and interactions with oocyte microvilli.
