Modified N-linked glycosylation status predicts trafficking defective human Piezo1 channel mutations

The paper shows that N-linked glycosylation in Piezo1 channels is essential for plasma membrane trafficking and that mutations affecting this process are linked to disease.

Transmembrane exchange of fluorosugars: characterization of red cell GLUT1 kinetics using 19F NMR

The paper quantifies the transmembrane exchange kinetics of fluorinated glucose analogues in human red blood cells using 19F NMR, revealing GLUT1 specificity constants for anomers.
