The paper identifies CROP2 as a Retriever-WIPI2 complex involved in exporting β1-Integrin from endosomes to the plasma membrane, distinct from the CROP complex.

The paper uses 18O-water labeling to study phosphate group dynamics in inositol phosphates across species, revealing distinct pools with different cycling behaviors.

This study uses mathematical modeling to show that 1,5-InsP8 synthesis follows a linear pathway in yeast and human cells, challenging previous assumptions about IPP metabolism.
