The paper shows that ERGIC2 and ERGIC3 modulate UPR signaling by interacting with BiP, revealing their role in stress adaptation beyond cargo transport.

The paper shows MBOAT7 redistributes to ER-LD contacts via RAB1 to inhibit DGAT2-mediated lipid droplet growth in response to CDS2 disruption.

This study reveals that cytokinesis in C. elegans embryos occurs through membrane rupture and independent extension of sister membranes, challenging the classical model of continuous membrane invagination.

This study identifies USP8's role in endosome maturation by mediating Rab5-to-Rab7 switch through recruitment by Rabex5 and promotion of SAND-1/Mon1 recruitment.

The paper identifies CFI-1/ARID3's role in regulating gap junction formation between specific neurons in C. elegans, showing unilateral control over connectivity.

The paper identifies nhr-114 and spin-4 as suppressors of seip-1 embryonic lethality in C. elegans, showing that reducing phosphatidylcholine synthesis suppresses lethality but worsens lipid droplet abnormalities.

The paper investigates how chronic ER stress is alleviated in C. elegans neurons through the p38-Ire1-Xbp1 pathway and insulin-associated autophagy.
