This study shows that palmitoylated importin α localizes NuMA to the cell cortex, regulating mitotic spindle orientation and preventing microcephaly in Xenopus laevis.

This study shows importin α is involved in ciliogenesis and cilia length regulation during kidney development in Xenopus laevis.

This study identifies Nrxn3 as essential for ribbon-synapse assembly in hair cells across mouse and zebrafish models, showing its critical role in synaptic function without affecting acoustic startle behavior.

This study shows retrograde mitochondrial transport is essential for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and synaptic activity in neurons.
