Mechanical opening of the αE-catenin M-region gates afadin condensation in cardiomyocytes

Sabine Pokutta, Yerin Han, Korina I. Karpov…·Adam V. Kwiatkowski

The paper shows that mechanical force opens the E-catenin M-region, enabling afadin condensate formation at high-load adherens junctions in cardiomyocytes.

TEP-1, a glial thioester protein is required for cilia organization and intraflagellar transport in ensheathed sensory neurons

Yumiko Oshima, Yaminisree Nagidi, M. Rajashekhar Moorthy…·Bruce E. Vogel

This study identifies TEP-1 as a glial thioester protein essential for cilia organization and intraflagellar transport in C. elegans, linking it to AMD and EODM pathogenesis through ciliary dysfunction.
