This study identifies Scinderin as a regulator of Golgi actin remodeling that coordinates GLP-1 and insulin secretion, linking intracellular trafficking defects to glucose homeostasis and diabetes.

The paper identifies deep nuclear envelope invaginations (DINEs) in epithelial cells, showing they organize chromatin and gene activity in response to mechanical cues like crowding and tissue maturation.

This paper shows that nuclear speckles regulate viral and host mRNA processing and export during HSV-1 infection, with viral transcripts uniquely relying on speckles for export.

This study shows that the nucleus softens during herpesvirus infection due to reduced outward forces and low biomolecular density in the viral replication compartment.

This study shows how herpesvirus infection alters mitochondrial structure and metabolism during infection progression.

The paper develops an iterative immunostaining method combined with expansion microscopy and image processing to enhance super-resolution imaging of nuclear lamina structures.
