Cooperative definition of ER exit sites by Tango1, Sec16 and Sec12

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit sites (ERES) are dynamic ER subdomains where secretory cargos are concentrated and exported towards the Golgi apparatus. The conserved proteins Sec16 and Sec12 have lon...

To protest the unending Bangalore roadworks, I created a game called Swalpa Adjust Maadi (Kannada for "please bear with the inconvenience"). You play the contractor digging up the roads, the residents are mute spectators who always lose! A new puzzle each day: mthattai.github.io/Swalpa-Adjus...

🧵 I've been meaning to write a #Skytorial on our recently posted prepring in which we show evidence that the Golgi 🥞 is a mechanoresponsive organelle. Extracellular mechanical forces also tune Golgi export capacity! 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
