This study quantifies lipid sorting during clathrin-mediated endocytosis and finds that lipid asymmetry in the plasma membrane explains observed partitioning, with minimal selectivity for cytoplasmic leaflet lipids compared to non-vesicular trafficking.

The paper shows that integrin-mediated adhesion sites coordinate tissue flows during Drosophila gastrulation by balancing cell-intrinsic forces with spatially distributed anchoring.
