Mechanical forces stimulate Golgi export

The paper shows extracellular mechanical forces influence Golgi secretory function by modulating carrier biogenesis and exocytosis, with molecular determinants including microtubule acetylation and protein kinase D activity.

A PKD-caveolin axis drives secretory carrier biogenesis at the TGN

The paper identifies a PKD-caveolin mechanism for TGN carrier biogenesis, linking lipid transfer and cargo sorting to membrane remodeling.

Tensing Flipper: Photosensitized manipulation of membrane tension, lipid phase separation and raft protein sorting in biological membranes

This paper discovers that Flipper, a membrane tension probe, can photosensitize singlet oxygen to alter membrane tension and lipid phase separation, enabling optical control of lipid raft formation.
