The paper develops a toolkit of membrane-localising tags tested across ten animal species to identify effective signals for targeting proteins to the plasma membrane.

The paper introduces LipoTag, a chemical motif that enables functional imaging of plant cell membranes by making hydrophobic fluorophores water-soluble and wall-permeable.

The paper introduces SBIS, a fluorescent probe for 4D imaging of brown algal cells, enabling 3D visualization of cell morphology during embryogenesis in multiple species.

The paper shows that local activation of Cxcl12a signaling during zebrafish olfactory placode morphogenesis is critical for proper development, with spatial and temporal control influencing the process.
