This study identifies PqiABC as a membrane-bridging conduit that facilitates bidirectional phospholipid transport between inner and outer membranes in Gram-negative bacteria.

This study shows Bcl-2 sequesters Bax into a complex on mitochondrial membranes, preventing pore formation and apoptosis initiation.

The paper solves the crystal structure of MlaC and shows the Mla pathway exports phospholipids from the inner membrane to the periplasm, challenging the previous belief in retrograde transport.
