This study identifies SNX13 and SNX14 as proteins that maintain lysosome membrane integrity and prevent neurodegeneration by supporting lipid homeostasis and repair mechanisms.

The paper quantifies ER-to-mitochondria lipid transport in yeast, showing rapid exchange and limited substrate selectivity.

This study identifies Pln1 as a mediator of lipid droplet-vacuole tethering during microlipophagy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, revealing its role in LD degradation and survival under starvation.

This study identifies BLTP2 as a pro-survival protein that regulates phosphatidylethanolamine levels in the plasma membrane to maintain its fluidity and function, linking it to cancer aggressiveness.
